August1991

I understand very well how this works. And I suspect that Poilieuvre understands it too. ==== As I say, Canada is a federal country.

Episode 3:

Abortion and capital punishment. Soldiers killing people. To me, all the same: the State condones death. ====== What is the point? I object to death and destruction.

I too support Ukraine. But I oppose strongly death and destruction.

True, across English Canada, the federal NDP and Liberals have more popular votes than the Conservatives. But Canada is a federal state. Imagine.

You misunderstand me. I have no objection to abortion: in my view, a woman should have the right to end her pregnancy.

Good point. ==== But as a card in the charge - it may change the negotiation.

Let me remind everyone - India, Russia, Ukraine, Americans and so on. We Canadians get along.

The difference? It may change behaviour.

We send soldiers to kill other people - even innocent civilians. Why not allow the State to kill prisoners? ==== In Canada, we allow women to kill children in the womb. What's the difference between abortion and capital punishment?

Canada is a federal state - and we have a federal voting system. I reckon that most Canadians agree with Trudeau Jnr.

I understand the logic of Trudeau Snr: a federal State must offer official languages everywhere. But why do these bureaucracies still exist? ===== Francophones in Saskachewan can log on and hear the local story.

My post/link above (Episode Two) has been hijacked. ===== IMHO, this series - indeed all Radio-Canada, CBC content - should be available to all. Around the world. We Canadians paid for it.

Waterworld. -You will see zillions of dollars on the screen and Kevin Costner is correct: the tech people knew what they were doing. -The problem is the characters: who is whom.

At Long Last Love Heaven's Gate === Why a bomb? Directors with name - and too much money.

Bonfire of the Vanities Read: Salamon She describes the money spent for a shot of an airplane arriving. ==== Why a bomb? Bad casting.

The Sorcerer - 1977 - Imdb Cost: 22 million, Revenue: 9 million. It's available on Youtube. I reckon that this bomb is due to casting, and the third act.

What a business! As William Goldman wrote, "No one knows anything." I disagree - on two points. I happen to think that Goldman made Damon and Affleck. Second point? I'm talking of Goldman - on the Internet. Point made. ====== Here's my initial list: -Waterworld -Heaven's Gate

And I'm not a nationalist.

In 1991, you Americans won the Cold War.

Churchill? I disagree. We now live when people can choose.

Churchill famously said that India is no more a country than the equator. Pierre Trudeau famously asked: Where is Biafra? To negotiate peace, he allowed the FLQ to fly to Cuba. Nixon bombed Hanoi.

I do. And while I prefer a sovereign State, unlike many people in Europe, I'm not a nationalist.

We Canadians are federalists. We get along.

We Canadians bury our war dead in place. There are many Commonwealth War graves around the world. New Zealanders. Americans tend to bring their war dead to a central place. I have been to both. Wandered around. And I have always asked myself: What was this guy doing? Why did he do it?
