Disagree. This is a foolish civil war between slavic people, for no reason, no benefit to anyone.

As Trudeau Snr famously said, "... they will make of Montreal a Danzig of the New World."

You Americans remind me of Shirley Valentine. I talk of spring, and they talk of autumn. And then, you're no longer talking of seasons. You're talking about what they want. ==== Clueless.

On this, I agree. It is amazing how self-centred you Americans are. This interview was not about America - it was about international affairs, the rest of the world.

Put them in the army.

Teeth.... Dentists want a two-tier system: -the State pays for poor people -rich people go private

Disagree. By your logic, we could make Canada into another Venezuela.

Listening to this Carlson/Putin interview, I listened to their language. I was reminded of the Nixon/Frost interview. Putin speaks better Russian than Nixon spoke English. ==== In Canada, we have the delight of two languages.

Agreed, for several years, various US governments (federal, state. local) debt is rising faster than the US gdp. IOW, the American governments are borrowing more than their people can produce.

Women live longer than men.

Bad at math? Of course he should take the money now. ===== We older Canadians have three state schemes: RRQ/CPP, OAP, GAINS. In the US, they have only a single federal Social Security - more generous.

Our own Trudeau Snr once referred to the Danzig corridor. Hitler needed space. Russia has too much history. I am told that Canada has too much space, and not enough history. Moonbox: I meant no harm.

In the 1990s, Yeltsin put on display in Moscow these maps. Carlson should have called Putin

I was struggling for a way to explain this to foreigners. Vladimir Putin speaks Russian the way René Lévesque spoke French in Québec. It is clear and direct.

Vienna like Lemberg was once a wonderful city. Then, Austria became a no-man's land. ===== For a brief period in recent history, cities in Slovakia, Slovenia, Galicia had a rebirth.

In Canada, the provincial/federal ballot/vote is merely one check box on a ballot. In municipal elections, we sometimes have several ballots. In Canada, I have lived in several provinces, we vote in person - several (scrutineers) check before voting. ======= I was surprised to learn that a US vote/ballot is like our Census form, with many questions and many check boxes.

Canada? For centuries, we have a society of different religions, official languages We now have a city like Lemberg: Montreal

We in Canada get along. You Finns -like Norwegians- have a different view of life.

I always turned on the TV when Trudeau Snr spoke. I knew I would hear something new. In both languages, he was a delight.

Disagree, Trudeau Snr and Levesque were always a delight. Like Putin, I knew that I would something new.

Putin speaks Russian well; Putin speaks Russian like an educated person Trudeau spoke French like an older but educated person.

I reckon that a good leader must use language well - a turn of phrase. In Canada, to be a good leader, this is more difficult.

I have heard all speak, in person - both languages. I reckon that Trudeau Snr was best. I saw him several times, in person, in both languages. Levesque ? II saw him once in the Assemblee. I remember a meetng with Mulroney. (I have never seen or heard Trudeau Jnr,

I strongly disagree. ===== This recent DC Steyn decision is wrong. I reckon that it will be as infamous as the 1925 Scopes decision.

I recently listened to Churchill's Fulton speech. ===== Putin was saying the same. .
