August1991

OK. You think that you own Hawaii. The Japanese attack - a Day in Infamy - and you Americans respond against Japan. But why also against Germany? ===== In America and Russia, the war started in 1941. In Canada, the war started in 1939. Later, walking around cemeteries, cities, talking to people - women in particular. I realised that this war did not start in 1939 0r 1941. It started in summer 1914. And it lasted to 1945. These thirty years changed the lives of many people. Around the world.

As a Canadian, I have a peculiar view of American war cemeteries and American battlefields. In Canada, we have few. I once saw one in Saskatchewan. I've been to Gettysburg. So small, nothing like Austerlitz. (The battle in Austerlitz is a place in Saxony - a repeat of the Seven Years War. The Plains of Abraham? 10x.) ===== Why did you Americans get involved in foreign wars? Jaoan and December 1941, I sort of understand. (But did you have the right to Hawaii?) But Europe? D-Day?

You Americans wisely organised us against Communism. You won - for the good of us all. You fought in Korea and Vietnam. The Berlin Wall is no more. ====== Americans, please stop! The world now must find its own way, its own stable nature.

And of the Prague defrestration? Despots also? IMHO, the Thirty Years War was no different from the cataclysm of 1914-1945.

Hey! What an idea! Let's continue to reduce (or raise) the price until we find someone stupid enough to cross the line, raise their hand and say yes- I buy!

Huh? Old people have lots of money.

Disagree. Old people vote (discretionary income or not). https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1935036/transport-gratuit-65-ans-plus-montreal-juillet-stm

True, it is weird. But in Quebec, i've had no problem for private dermatology and cataracts: the most common boomer surgery. I don't know about hip surgeries in Quebec ===== Except for hips and knees, these are low-cost health issues. Heart valves are different. Most older people have diabetes or high blood pressure. This can be managed with pharma/

Quebec has many private health clinics. Cataract and dermatology surgery, for example. In all provinces? I don't know. In Quebec, there is no wait time but iit will cost about Cdn$1000 per eye -IOL les.

In Canada, we are several provinces. Indeed, we have two official federal languages. California alone has as many people as all of Canada. ==== IMHO, California should dive Virginia did.

I am intrigued about this. Some people observe/learn patterns: they are Engineers Other people question patterns: they are Mathematicians

Disagree.. ==== Birds fly. We humans now also fly - but differently. We use airplanes Computers will think as humans - but differently

Health care? Medicare? Obamacare? I reckon the best care is someone in your family. I want people to get along

Indeed. Lougheed signed. But the Quebec government did not sign the Trudeau Senior version of our recent federal constitution.

Who would have thought Trump in November 2016? America- What a country!

I understand this. But your current president vilifies the term. He refers to "Maga Mega". ==== As foreigner, are you Americans aware of what you are doing? When Biden makes fun of MAGA, he's reducing America.

NYLefty, I'll put you as a non-Trump voter. (Biden simply because he's not Trump.)

Illegals? The work of ordinary people - 8 hours a day - make this world work. NYLefty, you are wrong.

MAGA means "Make America Great Again" As a Canadian, I am surprised that anyone in America would oppose that idea.

Nor does the Alberta government. In Canada, we have a federal system. === In Quebec, the government can do what it wants - within its jurisdiction.

Episode Two:

To me, this is evidence that the PM's time doesn't matter. Everyone says the PM is an important guy. He has a scheduler. Where he is and what he does matters. Our Canadian prime minister was stuck in India. And nothing changed in anyone's life. Think.

https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/2237/index.do == In Quebec, I often go to private health clinics - like in Germany, and France. I reckon that you people elsewhere in Canada don't quite understand the diversity of your country.

The government cannot fix prices. Full stop. A politician can try - but the politician is following a fool's errand.

Gerald Ford tried this with WIN. (Google.) Richard Nixon and Pierre Trudeau tried price controls.
