He was born in 1940. He had a good run.

ENJUNN-EARS? In Canada, we sell milk by the litre. But we sell butter by the pound. Why?

I strongly agree.

No mistake, Trump made Carney our PM. Our current PM was elected because some Canadians (mostly women) hate a US politician. Weird.

For Americans, Montreal is like New Orleans: the Big Easy north.

Stone: Google Translate is easy What's your point?

As a Canadian, they're both typical Americans. ==== 1. You Leftist Americans don't understand that we foreigners see you all as American. 2. You Right-Wing Americans are, IMHO, gun-nut crazy.

For centuries, Europe has had many numerous wars. Your Abraham Lincoln kept the Union together -after a bloody Civil War: The worst on this continent. Yet for centuries, we Canadians have avoided civil war. We get along.

In Ontario, there is provincial police: OPP. (Have you seen the Beatles' album?) In the west, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan, you only have the federal RCMP. In Newfoundland, there is now the RNC. Well said.

Largely agree. 1. I suspect Japan spends zillions on MRI machines because a) they're older, b) they once had money 2. I suspect America spends zillions on health care because a) they invent stuff, b) they litigate health care

True, Newfoundlanders fished on the Labrador coast. As the Portuguese fished on the Grand Banks. ==== Is Newfoundland part of Portugal?

Strongly disagree. The island of Newfoundland is not Labrador.

Comedy? In Canada, we have the idea that we have some else - maybe we're Catholic. Whenever I have been in America, I realised that you Americans have no one else.

https://www.journaldequebec.com/2026/03/16/christine-frechette-prete-a-reevaluer-lexploration-des-gaz-de-schiste-au-quebec IME, Quebec women are practical, smart. Les Québécois sont normands, indépendants - leurs femmes en premiers.

In Canada, we generally show "government identification" when voting. Our federal/provincial votes are a simple X. We choose the candidate. ==== But I reckon that our Canadian census forms are similar to your US election votes. Endless choices.

1. Act of aggression? I strongly disagree. Eastern Ukraine is largely Russian-speaking. 2. Western Ukraine? It was once Polish-speaking. ======= I am with Trudeau Snr. I do not want the West Island to become a Danzig.

I'm fat but I'm not 85 stone -fergawdsakes. We sell milk in Canada in litres. But we still butter by the pound. ===== I recommend that we sell butter by 250g -or better, by 400g.

Newfoundland and Iceland? Island people.

Agreed. Butter at 400g would look European - and appear to lower the price for a pound. ==== BTW: All foreigners are excluded from dairy sales in Canada.

In Montreal, it is around Cdn $1.85 per litre. Mon voisin blame Trump. === We Canadans/Quebecers have a lot of hydro-electricity (and oil). Higher world prices for energy make us richer.

Huh? Butter at 400g (instead of 454g) would allow domestic milk producers to look European. And exclude Americans.

This famous quote of Trudeau Snr is remarkable. He defined private, and the state. Heck, as he looked out: a federal state.

Poilievre's message must be his wife. He gets along. ==== Trudeau Jnr, federal Liberals, are flakes.

I recommend that we move to the metric system. 250g or 500g. 400g is possibly a good measure - close to 454g. We now use 2 litres for milk.

Laval is like New Jersey. And Montreal is the Big Easy north. Off Island is like fly-over Trump country.
