  1. Some Canadians (no religion named) view life in dominant/victim manner. As a victim, the federal Liberals will protect me.
  2. CdnFox, We should be sending probes to Venus to figure out what happened. No human will ever live on Mars.
  3. Statesmen? Your founders designed a system that makes it very hard for a psychopath to take power. I reckon that Lincoln, weird, was no psychopath. Trudeau Snr similar.
  4. Rapid? It takes time for politicians to change. In 1989/1991, there was a large change in the balance of power.
  5. At the time, Turner opposed free trade with Americans - he wanted barriers as Trump proposes now. Irony. ===== At issue however is "nationalism". Mulroney was correct. He is a Canadian.
  6. Just as Trump divided Americans to get votes, the federal Liberals are doing exactly the same to divide us and get votes. Vote Liberal to protect us against the nasty Americans!
  7. No. IMHO, Carney's federal Liberals are likely to win enough seats for a minority - a stable majority with either of the NPD, Bloc. BTW, define "leftist". Flipping through this thread, I reckon that you're "clueless" about Canada.
  8. Disagree. Strongly. The theory of climate warming (now, climate change) is based on the greenhouse effect. In this theory, our problem is not carbon. It is excess "carbon dioxide". cougar, do you know the difference between carbon and CO2?
  9. Compared to the US Civil War, the Riel Rebellion was nothing. The Plains of Abraham was a minor, irrelevant battle in a much larger war between Prussia and Austria. To understand, Margaret Thatcher wisely said that England has always sided with the weaker power in Europe. In the 1700s, it was Prussia. Prussia defeated Austria. England got Canada.
  10. Like Carney, I'm a boomer. I've traveled lived abroad. Canada is good! Hey kids, pick your parents better.
  11. BTW, we Canadians often vote across religious/language lines. The first premier of Ontario was a Roman Catholic: In the 1890s, our first federal Roman Catholic Prime Minister was a Conservative: John Thompson Our first federal francophone PM was Wilfrid Laurier. People across Canada voted for him in 1896. He was Catholic. He is on our five dollar bill.
  12. We Canadians have never fought a violent civil war between ourselves. (In 1837 there were minor fights in Ontario, more serious in Lower Canada - but nothing like the Americans 1861. Riel?) Europe? Europeans? ==== We Canadians have a civilised society: a federal state with two federal official languages, and no official cultural. Imagine.
  13. Secret? There is no secret war. ====== Some Americans (eg. Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan) wanted to achieve regime-change in Russia. Like Bush Jnr and Saddam Hussein, they wanted to change a regime. They wanted to oust Putin. Make no mistake. Why? Power, control. Nuland/Sullivan wanted to change the world. Make people more respectful of gays. This has always surprised me.
  14. Many EnglishCanadians -women in particular- are voting anti-Trump, anti-American. The federal Liberals are using this nationalistic card - "the federal Liberals are Canada". Carney may win with it. With Singh, the NDP cannot play the nationalist card. === The Bloc? I fear this kind of politics.
