Full Title: President Reagan's Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade from Camp David, Maryland on April 25, 1987 Creator(s): President (1981-1989 : Reagan). White House Television Office. 1/20/1981-1/20/1989 (Most Recent) Series: Video Recordings, 1/20/1981 - 1/20/1989 Collection: Records of the White House Television Office (WHTV) (Reagan Administration), 1/20/1981 - 1/20/1989 Production Date: 4/25/1987 Access Restriction(s):Unrestricted Use Restriction(s):Unrestricted

Plus the threat of legal action by them is ridiculous. Video literally says use is "unrestricted". And the ad provided the proper credit to the library. ZERO legal basis.

I don't get how Reagan's remarks were "misrepresented" as the Reagan foundation says. Sure, the ad did rearrange what he said. But the general premise of "widespread tariffs hurt Americans" wasn't altered.

Oh jeez. That’s quite far down. Explains I didn’t see anything down there even though I was on a double decker bus in the southbound lanes.

Should note: they have since fixed this. There is now an extender on the button.

Yikes! Hopefully everyone involved ends up okay.

Seems to be a major incident on Highway 1 heading northbound between McKenzie and Helmcken. Looks bad. Didn’t see any cars involved though tons of police, fire, and paramedics responding. Any idea what happened? #yyj

I have a Nascar IMAX DVD that is a bit interesting. It has two subtitle tracks for French & Spanish. But it uses line 21 CCs for English. I played the disc in a PS5 and it does support L21 CCs. Though you have to go into the settings first to enable CCs, then you'll see the toggle in the player app.

Wow this is an amazing deal!!! 😧

Wouldn't be surprised if the fence was some last minute decision, after the signal design was done.

Pedestrian button on a signal pole, which is behind a fence.

This might be one of the worst accessibility fails I've seen at an intersection! The push button to cross the road is behind a fence. It needs to be on an extender!

Had to get Zeddy before The Bay closes! #TheBay

Why does the Inland Island Highway not have a cable barrier between Parksville and Courtenay (where it's a grass median)?!
Especially since the speed limit is 110 km/h.

The trail to the skywalk is nice too

Visited the #MalahatSkywalk for the first time today! Was pretty cool! Slide was fun too! 😄

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Rogers raising internet prices by $7 a month! They just went to parliamentary committee due to them raising TV Box rentals by $7 a month after the merger. They are insane!

Also, think I saw this same one in Langford today. It had the BC Parks Bear plate.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they drive down the pedestrian-only section too 😄

Another Cybertruck! This time downtown.

Should’ve had a route go over Elk Lake with a viaduct! 😄

New diagonal crossing for the Galloping Goose Trail at Wale & Wilfert in Colwood! Some minor tweaks could be made to make it run a little better, but all in all it’s pretty good!

A 1986 Citroen in Sidney!

Shelbourne St before the improvements. Narrow 1 meter sidewalk with small grass strip separating it from the road.

It’s just crazy when you compare it to how it was before:

My confidence in Oak Bay is not high, considering how long it took to get the 24/7 bike lanes on Henderson (a main bike route to/from UVic)! 😄
