Napoleon's police under Fouche was ruthless and feared. Wellington was born Arthur Wellesley and Nelson was the sixth of a clergyman's 11 children. Both earned their titles in battle.

Napoleon was a monarchist, he crowned himself emperor. He made his brothers and at least one of his marshals kings, his sister, Grand Duchess of Tuscany and most of his other marshals dukes. A duke is the highest level of aristocracy for non royals. Napoleon rewarded merit for service to him. He was most definitely a despot

Interesting considering Ireland and SA are ranked 1 and 2 in the world. France and NZ are 3 and 4.

As I already posted, the two Air Force one 747's are only two years newer. The Polaris are the same age as our newest CF-18's. One problem is there are few A310's still in airline use so getting a part from a local carrier is not likely. The engines this aircraft uses are still in production and being installed on new B767 freighters and military versions of the 767 like the KC767. Newer versions of this engine power the A330's that will be replacing the Polaris. You can run a brand new aircraft into a building.

McCarthy Orders Impeachment Inquiry

Comey basically sealed the election for Trump when he reopened Hillary's emails again days before the election. A probe that came to nothing. -
How is Ontario treated differently under the law? Ontario signed the same constitution as the other eight provinces. Quebec gets 7 billion more in federal transfers in spite of having less than 60% of the population. $3149 per capita vs $1575. That goes a long way toward supporting its social programs. Manitoba and the Maritime provinces get more per capita, Ontario, Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan and NFLD all get about the same as each other.

Quebec still gets transfers from the feds, same as all the other provinces. Coverage also varies from province to province. I posted the link. The fact Quebec gets special treatment under the law is a source of friction in this country.

No we don't, health care is provincial. The provincial governments get transfers from the feds but the province decides how they are spent. If we are not discussing health care, why did you name the topic, private healthcare.

Democracy is such a drag to the MAGA cult.
