Some people have no right thumb, or even a right arm. The purple colour comes from Rome.
-
We live in an Instagram world. And in a real world. ==== I voted. Everyone can see my purple thumb.
-
Galicia? This is the civilised part of Ukraine. Putin does not want it. ==== Biden (and the US MSM) is wrong.
-
I worked with people like you in our federal government - Ukrainian origin. You remind me of some francophone bilingual people - de service.
-
How about piercing? Catholics cutting the ears of their young daughters? ==== To me, Control = Power. The two words are interchangeable.
-
The division between Maoist China and Soviet Russia was perhaps more significant. Trudeau Snr noticed it first - in his writings for Le Devoir; Nixon later.
-
Agreed. Like SEATO, to defeat (after Hitler), we in the civilised West wanted to defeat the Soviets/Communists. In 1989 and in 1991, we did. ==== IMHO, we no longer need NATO. Or SEATO.

Why Trump Won’t Win
August1991 replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Biden knows that he'll win: Philadelphia, Twin Cities, Las Vegas, Phoenix. In these cities, in the mind of young Democrats, they are simply helping people to vote as they should vote. ==== In Canada, we vote in person. I put an X beside one name. -
Government GDP Debt Ratio - What if?
August1991 replied to August1991's topic in Canada / United States Relations
A number - but note something else. You'll note that like Norway (and the UK) we in Canada have our own currency. ===== In the midst of the 2008 catastrophe, when everyone thought that American banks would go bankrupt, I bought Canadian bank shares. It's the only time that I have ever bought other than a broad index. -
The indigenous people in Australia barely exist - a cry from the past. In Florida and Newfoundland and Labrador, they remain only as genetic ghosts - as we all do. ===== Americans fought a bloody war about - Haley? Why did you guys start a war when Lincoln got elected? Europeans have fought each other several times in the past few centuries. But we Canadians? We get along. French, English. Catholic, Protestant.
-
I disagree strongly. I suggest rather that you examine the slavic origin of Ukraine. What is Polish - in slavic languages? We call them Germans. Spaniards call them Tedesco. Slavs call them people without language. They have yet another name - Dutch. === Ever heard of Ruthenia? ========== All things considered, I'm with Pierre Trudeau and Theodore Roosevelt- we are Canadians. We live in a federal state with two official languages.
-
In many places, maybe, -lower North Shore, for example- the English CBC should exist. To me, Radio-Canada and CBC should provide language service.... Around the world., we Canadians send signals.... ====== Maybe we just let the Quebec government decide culture... Radio-Quebec.
-
I strongly think - VERY STRONGLY THINK - that when a person votes - the person should dip their right thumb in purple permanent ink. This will show everyone that I voted. In a democracy.

-
The words "Ukraine" and "Israel" are recent. Trust me. I know well how the word "Québec" has been used Heck, we Canadians changed our flag.
-
Sorry. I would give everyone at CBC English a generous cash-out - except maybe the technical people and a few in local places. ===== In English, no one - no one - watches CBC on TV.. Clueless. The CBC is not BBC.
-
I posted this elsewhere: -The CBC/Radio-Canada receives about $1.2 billion each year from Canadian taxpayers and has some 8,000 people working. -Montreal's STM has about 11,000 employees. In Zone A, it costs $3.75 to take the metro. ============ All things considered, we metro users get more benefit than Radio-Canada.
-
I oppose people cutting male genitalia? I guess that I'm an anti-semite.
-
Disagree - strongly. Catholics baptise at birth. ===== I'm with Richard Dawkins.
-
You Americans won! Johnson killed 50000 guys. Nixon had detente, agreed. Reagon had no meeting but trust verify. In 1991, you guys won! Move on.
-
This horrific current civil war in Eastern Europe could have been avoided. Since 2014, Crimea is part of Russia. ==== I reckon that since 2014, some people in Washington DC want to control the world.
-
Some people now use the word "Palestine". Other people use the word "Ukraine".
-
After 1991 and the defeat of Soviet World Marxism Communism- I now think that we all should have moved on. NATO? Why does it still exist in 2023? ==== I remember these 1990s times. I agreed with Clinton: Partnership for Peace.

Why Trump Won’t Win
August1991 replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Zero Chance Trump will win in 2024 Trump needs Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona. With mail-in ballots, Trump has zero chance. Indeed, any Republican candidate has zero chance. ===== With drop-off, mail-out ballots, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona are now effectivelty - like California - Democrat States.
