August1991

Strongly disagree. Canada has alot of space: surely rent should be low. IME, "homeless" people in Montreal are not on the street because of a lack of money. (I recently was in Asia among some very poor people. Nothing like Quebec.) ===== In Montreal, this is not a problem for the police/ambulance/firemen. We are wasting huge resourses on stupid nonsense. Why? Security. -Single urban woman want to feel save. -911 Unions ask, first responders love the adrenalin -Politicians give the money.

I stand corrected. ===== Australia sent troops to Iraq because America once defended Australia - and Bush Jnr played that card. John Howard famously said: "Don't ask: You may just get it." Our Chretien -under tremendous pressure- wisely kept us out of this Iraqi mess.

Interesting question. Unlike skin colour, you chose to have a tattoo. I reckon that the State should discriminate among people with tattoos.

IME, most homeless people are men, older. They have drug problems. And then there are the drunk Indians: women and men. Trudeau Jnr wants to solve this problem by giving them more money. ==== Perspektiv, I see this every day in Montreal. The police are not a social service.

Russians survive. Canadians get along. ==== We must leave NATO.

As they say, you and Lindsay Graham will defend America to the last Ukrainian. ==== The Soviet Union is no more. We no longer face an ideological threat. OTOH, we live - as always - in a multi-polar world.

Post CNN-Interview. She's lazy. === In the early 1990s, after Meech, the Tories chose Campbell in a desperate measure. In the early 2020s, after Biden, the Democrats chose Harris. At first, it looked good. The poll numbers were positive

Dougie, I strongly disagree. We Canadians have created a structure of peace among ourselves: language, religion, nationalism. It is not perfect - but we get along.

America is arguably better. Many immigrants to Canada move south. ===== Trump has this huge "walll' idea. In fact. America is a wonderful place.

In 1958, the federal Liberals were not popular. ==== Le Canada, quel pays !

AG, Good OP. I wonder as you. ==== We have this wonderful place -Canada. How? Why?

Who is hated more? Canada is a difficult country.

Stephen Harper had to sign the papers for some 110 soldiers who died in Afghanistan.

Crimea? Under Obama and even Trump, there was no death and destruction.

Obama wisely avoided war.

Strongly disagree. ===== Under Obama, we had peace.

Kim Campbell? Kamala Harris is no different. A flake. ===== People voted for Margaret Thatcher.

We are living in a vacuum.

Russian aggression? Crimea? ==== This death and destruction is due to certain Americans. These Americans (Sullivan) want to change the world.

I'm an old person. I want sorta-high definition files. I have about 1000 files/songs on a USB stick - 3 GB When I hear a new song/tune that I like, I use my phone to identify the song. Sadly, this feature only works with popular tunes.

I was recently in the Philippines - what a name for a country - that is a bizarre series of islands. Philip. Was he a king? ==== The local language, island language, varies. Be careful!

Curious, I went to the place where Trudeau Snr angrily rose his arm. (I thought it was the City Hall. Wrong, it was a building on Sherbrooke Street.) I have never been to Butler, PA - but I checked the videos. ''''' Where Hitler spoke - I have been to Nuremburg, where Hitler organised his platforms, rallies. Trump, Hitler? No comparison whatsoever.

Jake Sullivan recently visited Xi. I saw the translated texts I entirely agree with Xi. Sullivan is naive, wrong. ===== We Canadians must leave NATO.

User, Army Guy. Get a room. ==== I flipped through this thread. I think that you are both wrong.

In 2008, a black American who votes for Obama - that's obvious. It's no measure of society. ===== The measure of a civilised society - and why Canada is great - is when a minority votes for a majority, even when the minority will win. How many Black-Americans voted Republican in 2008.
