  1. CBC? Why I am paying for death and destruction in Europe?
  2. I quickly read through this thread. Wow. ==== I reckon Biden will do as LBJ. Johnson waited to New Hampshire - then resigned. Biden will wait to South Carolina.
  3. I have nothing against either group. Duplessis avait tort. On est ce qu'on est. But I do not want to live in a society dictated by a small minority.
  4. Woody Allen described life as distraction. Cruises, card games. I think Richard Nixon said the same.
  5. The lie? As an individual, it is good to live in a society where people are honest.
  6. In Quebec, the Caisse was used to build the REM. An APP would make the road between Edmonton and Calgary like Germany - three lanes, and like the 407., paid. On the left lane, drive as fast as you want!
  7. At present, according to some calculations, the APP would have Cdn $350 billion. The Norwegian Pension Fund has about $US 1.5 trillion, In Quebec, the Caisse has about $300 billion. These are fictional numbers. They are paper claims on real assets. ==== There is a fundamental misunderstanding of current macroeconomic theory.
  8. "Biggest lie"? Many people told me many lies. And many people told me many truths.
  9. I generally think that individuals are honest. In my world, we get along. I trust others. ==== Religion and language have nothing to do with it.
  10. This current Canadian federal government is not a majority. I am not wrong about its stability. Let's see.
  11. We Canadians change our politicians every so often. I like our federal system. To me, I like the idea that a federal politician can speak to everyone.
  12. NDP? You don't understand federal Canada.
  13. We Canadians respect the minority. Years ago, a Protestant voted for a Catholic And perhaps more important, in American-speak, a black guy voted white. Myata, there's your answer. ==== I sincerely believe that Canada is a model to the world. Well, the Austrian-Hungarian regime was also .
  14. Michael, we Canadians on average live better, Why? We live in a federal state.
  15. Well said. ==== But the people in the NDP and the Bloc?
  16. In Canada, we have two types of federal elections: fall and spring. We do not have winter elections - except when a minority government is defeated..
  17. People forget that this federal government relies on two parties -BQ, NDP. Justin Trudeau does not have a majority government. ==== I reckon that his government will fall soon. We will have a winter federal election. Like 1980.
  18. The BQ will vote with the federal Liberals. This vote is meaningless. ===== Soon, the NDP and BQ will vote against the federal Liberals. Take note!
  19. Episode 5. (The CBC must make this series available in high definition, with subtitles, without cost, to the world.) We paid for it.
  20. Legault offers 15% over 5 years - more or less. But no COLA. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2022235/front-commun-syndical-lebel-offre ==== What a bun fight.
  21. The federal government has the right to tax as it wishes. But Section 92 of our Constitution has always been a problem. ==== Quebec (Legault) may intervene on the side of Saskatchewan (Moe). What a country!
  22. Disagree. 1. Europe? We Americans get along. 2. America is a large continent. And we get along. ===== If the cost of world peace is a few million more people in America, i have no objection.
  23. I checked the data. Real GDP per capita in 2020 is about twice 1970. We Canadians, on average, are twice better off. And in Canada, there is almost no risk. ==== Imagine someone in Cambodia in 1970 Or China.
  24. You current Americans are obsessed with "appeasement". You ignore how a civilised world collapsed in 1914. Previous presidents -guys (JFK, NIixon)) who fought in the 1940s- worried more about the former. ==== The war did not start in 1939 (Canada, Poland) or 1941 (US, Russia). It started in 1914. And lasted to 1945. Like the Thirty Years War.
