    Agreed. It's a minority. But Carney is a very competitive guy. He wants to win. And he will do whatever it requires to get a majority. (I reckon many women voted for him the same way people buy at Walmart/Costco. I want a smart guy on my side.)

    Very strongly disagree. Ask any person alive today. Ask about their family history. The 30 years between 1914 and 1945 fundamentally changed their family history. ==== In Summer 1914, Europe had many reigning monarchs. By Summer 1945, Stalin and Truman had to meet in Potsdam since Berlin was destroyed.

    Disagree. The period of 1914-1945 was horribly violent. The Cold War was peaceful. We got along. Europe had a structure of peace. Since 1991, we are in flux.

    What is a good prompt? What is the training data?

    Note to MG: User is an AI player (LLM) - trained largely on English Wikipedia.

    In the past, if you were a rich young person living abroad, you were known as a remittance man. Nowadays, you would be known as a trust fund kid. Or a Westerner who retires abroad. ====== I am not talking about this. I am talking about people who leave their country to work and make money.

    For those that notice: Kinda fun arguing with English/American Wikipedia.
  8. August1991
    Germany (and France) invaded Russia - make no mistake. Ukraine is a misnomer. ====== My broader point is that Europe no longer matters.
  9. August1991
    For the rest of us, I kinda like a duopoly between China and the US.
  10. August1991
    Europeans need a new structure of peace.

    Disagree. I was in Crimea after 2014. It was not an invasion.
  12. August1991
    You Americans did this with Missouri and Kansas. Heck, you created West Virginia in an attempt to avoid a Civil War.

    The Velvet Revolution. We now have Slovakia and the Czech Republic. More violently, we now have Serbia and Croatia. Slovenia. All separate states along with others. ======= We must accept a divided Ukraine: -Galicia in the west, Lviv (Lemberg) as its capital. -Donbass (or whatever) in the East, Kiev as its capital.

    Meech Lake 1995 According to the ever predictable CBC's Andrew Coyne and so-called Quebec expert Chantal Hebert: "Let's see." ==== Disagree. Carney did not win a clear majority. The PQ will win in 2026. Alberta will hold a referendum. (It will lose - but the vote will be higher than Quebec's 1980). Think: In 1980, 40% of people in Quebec wanted a sovereign state.

    I saw Mulroney in caucus. In his office, among cabinet ministers. In public, in private, he was a master. I saw Chretien in private and random crowds. He was remarkable. Chretien liked meeting people, kids in particular.
