August1991

CdnFox, At present, Iceland has a population of some 300,000. This has not changed for 1000 years. Newfoundland has about 500,000 people - and it has maintained this for several centuries. === Around the world, people know of Newfoundland and Iceland. Who today knows of Lemberg?

Cry me a river. ==== Churchill/Stalin defeated the Nazis and Kennedy/Reagan defeated the Soviets. Since 1991, we are in a "new" world.

The election of 1860 was critical to America's history. This election of 2024 is important - but not critical.

AG, At critical moments in our short history, we not only have avoided civil war - we get along. Other countries and places are different. Americans celebrate Lincoln. Canadians celebrate Trudeau Snr. Americans celebrate Obama. Canadians celebrate Laurier.

Disagree. To me? Home.

My point is different. You Americans -all- think like men. And you are clueless. ===== I'll try to explain/translate for Americans: Foreigners view all Americans as, well, American women view American men.

There are many portraits available - Samuel de Champlain, for example. Or, Terry Fox. More fundamentally, we Canadians must assume our problems; we must understand what we are. We must become a federal republic.

You Americans manage your problems. This 2024 election is like most - months before, a critical change.

I'm surrounded by idi*ts. Perspektiv, why do male, uh, chickens have colourful, uh, co*ks.

C_2015, In summer 1942, Canadian soldiers died in Dieppe. What's your point?

I have wondered about this. Clooney, Reagan, left, righti - you are all clueless, Why? You are all men, self-centred.

Ontario's first premier was a Roman Catholic. ===== We Canadians have a long history of crossing religious/national lines

In 1896, Wilfrid Lauriier got elected.

Adopted? His wife is foreign. What is Canada?

I reckon that this 2024 election will not change anything. ==== True, you Americans have two old, Huge Egos - facing each other.

Smart elite? Long term, sustainable. Zillions of years I trust Newfoundlanders.. They're practical. ==== Quebecers? Dunno. Quebec women are independent. Russian women love their children. Go figure.

Strongly disagree. ==== Prior to 1914 - like the world today in the 2020s - the elite was smart, but clueless.

In Canada, in elections, we vote on one day for one person. But in Canada, we also have a complex federal census questionnaire. Voting in the US is now like our complex census forum. Young people have months to get older people to complete the form. ==== When we vote in federal Canada, next time, let us dip and show a purple finger.

On either side in 2020 or so, define a win. In the 1980s, Reagan famously said about the Soviets - Communists, "We win. They lose." To me, this current 2020 war is different.

Let the people of Iran decide this in their own way. I think Wilson said such things.

Let me explain my basic idea. ChapGPT is like the Soviet Union. It is based on engineers. America is life. It changes.

Sadly, Russians and Ukrainians - fellow Slavs - are killing each other for no reason. But once in Canada, they get along. ===== We Canadians have discovered a way to get along.

Huh? IMHO, this whole idea of "regime change" is ludicrous. People change in their own fashion. I reckon that with Afghanistan, Americans merely showed Afghans not to let foreigners in.

AG, Have you been to Iran? I agree - but not so easy Bill Maher recently asked some Americans to respect other Americans.

In the 1910s, there were several Balkan wars. The objective was clear. Defeat the Turks. But the Crimean War of the 1850s always confused me. (I remember a teacher saying, "Everyone against Russia.") We call it now World War I - at the time, the statue in Montreal refers to the Great War - because there was a World War II. Indeed, what started this Great War?
