  1. Toronto would become Buffalo or Detroit.
  2. Ordinary federal taxpayers in Alberta & Sasktchewan deserve better.
  3. Yes, sorta. "We're all gonna die!"
  4. Gulfstream vs Bombardier: https://bombardier.com/en/aircraft/global-8000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulfstream_G650/G700/G800
  5. What is a federal state? === Our federal constitution simply ensures that we have two federal languages. No more.
  6. Why are people in Quebec making jets for rich people to fly. But everyone else can't use natural gas. ==== There is a huge hypocrisy in Canada.
  7. Pierre Trudeau famously said that the measure of a country is how the majority treats the minority. IMHO, many people in Alberta, Saskatchewan are a minority in Canada - but they deserve respect.
  8. At present in Canada, we have MAiD (Medically Assisted Death). But then our State also spends enormous sums to keep some people alive. Perhaps more to the point, as individuals, rich Canadians choose to buy longer life.
  9. I have followed this, like I followed the Apollo programme. I expected a blow-out. ===== Unlike the 1960s, you SpaceX guys can blow up, try and then try again.
  10. Huh? To survive, it must be transgender. An Alien? A predator? ====== We have so much oil now because several hundred million years ago, there were trees - without animals capable of digesting leaves. == Even trees are female and male.
  11. As a Westerner, I agree. But as a Canadian, i want you guys to get along.
  12. Strongly disagree. If Andropov had lived, the Soviet Union could have continued. Of course many people in the DDR knew the situation, so waht?
  13. CBC? I generally stop listening unless I want to know what the Anglo-Older Hate Trump Karens think.
  14. Artificial Intelligence has no obvious method to die. Steve Jobs famously said that the ultimate change agent is death.
  15. A species can replicate with one sex. But to develop, change - in the very long term - a species must have two sexes. Coupling randomly.
  16. Vietnam? IMHO, an important battle in a greater war that we in the west won.
  17. Reagan stood up to the Soviets. As did Nixon and Johnson and Kennedy. Truman, at first. ===== IMHO, if Androprov had lived longer, the Soviet Union could have survived. Gorbachev was well meaning but he killed the Soviet Union.
  18. In 2026, the Canadiens have a chance. The Leafs are like Haley's Comet. ===== Getting back to the OP, many people today know and have met their four grandparents. At issue, do they have a relationship with these four people?
  19. Squirrels - eyes compared to dogs, cats. Squirrels only have stereoscopic vision in a narrow front. But squirrels, compared to dogs/cats have remarkable side view. Squirrels view like fish. === Watch cats move their ears. (Old, I use my hand to move my ears.... ) My old ginger cat is deaf. I have to flash a light or bounce the chesterfield to get his attention.
  20. You transfer (your issues), and you anthropormise (you make your cat human). It is a CAT!
  21. Herbie, I live in Montreal, among people with a Tesla in the driveway. But they also have a SUV.
  22. Disagree. The Chinese are industrious. True. But like Confucious, they cannot create anything new. ====== I recall an old joke. Hong Kong will have a new copyright act. They copied it from America.
