August1991

No problem. Or as Australians say, "No worries." Returning to my OP: IMHO, there is a huge f*g-hypocrisy in Quebec, and federal Canada. 1. Quebec has a large industry to build jets for rich people who burn kerosene - emitting CO2. 2. Quebec taxes people who drive ICE cars

I'll take/accept these numbers. Billions here, billions there. 1. Canadians trade much, far more with Americans than they do with Chinese. 2. Our smart Canadian politicians understand Americans. 2a. As Pierre Trudeau famously said, "We sleep with an elephant."

Before 1991, Americans had an obvious opponent: Communism, Soviets. As JFK/Reagan said: "We won." Since 1991, American foreign policy is unstable.

By intervening, you Americans did not help the world in 1917. By intervening, you Americans did not change Europe in 1944. You changed Asia in 1945. After 1945 and prior to 1991, I would say that Americans were successful.

Before the 1960s, in America, it was not clear what was "Criminal Law" or "Civil Law". We Canadians had the the "Civil Code" and the "Common Law".

And like the REM in Montreal, it should be the Caisse (and the Ontario Teacher's fund) who pay for this electrified TGV passenger rail between Toronto and Montreal. Why should a person working minimum wage in Halifax or Calgary pay any tax to subsidise anyone traveling between Toronto and Windsor?

At great expense to all Canadians, our federal Liberal government is about to create (buy, expropriate land) a new right of way between Quebec City and Windsor, Ontario. (Note: This TGV will never exist. It is like the roof of the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.) Yet, we Canadians already have such a right of way. At issue, IMHO, we must decide how to use this right of way. -The land of the railtracks between Montreal and Toronto belong to Canadians. Let's expropriate this land from the CN and CP. -Let's build bridges/tunnels to ensure that passenger rail lines in this right of way never cross a road. (At present, there are several hundred.) -Let's electrify these passenger lines between Montreal and Toronto.

Diefenbaker did it in 1957. Mulroney did it in 1984. Harper did it in 2008. ==== In the past, at some point, the federal Liberals become obviously corrupt. Nowadays, in 2026, I'm not sure.

Herbie did you ask ChatGPT to respond? Or was this a brain fart? ==== 1. Canada is a federal state with two official languages - but no official culture. 2. Look at history, other places: Despite different languages, religions, we Canadians somehow get along.

In Montreal, I remember Mirabel.

This has created debate in Quebec. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2026/06/13/tgv-et-si-pspp-navait-pas-tort

I will set aside this claim about Trump and his family - possibly true. My point is that the PQ and the NDP (like Trump) want us to buy local, to make our place better.

Hypocrisy? ==== If I were Poilievre, I would make strongly the point that we Canadians get along.
