August1991

So many young boys have died. mothers/wives changed. This is an escalation in an avoidable civil war - with potential horrific world effects. ==== I was in Crimea in 2014. Russia. I flew from Moscow. Obama was president. ===== This war (2021) is a result of the Biden administration. It could have been avoided.

Imagine. https://anncoulter.com/2023/06/28/could-somebody-keep-trumps-promises/

I have a suggestion: -keep the coins with Charles III -the 20 bill? On the face, rotate among several well-known dead Canadians. -start with Gordon Lightfoot

Nefarious Banana and I_am_Groot. 1. All things considered. I want to keep Laurier on our plastic Five Dollar and Macdonald on our plastic Ten Dollar. Make no mistake, they were significant in our history. 1a. This BS of women no one knows? No. Not. Don't do it. 2. The real question is what do we do with the 20, and the coins. -we have several coins: 5 cent. 10, 25, 1, 2. -we have the 20 plastic bills ==== What to do?

There is a play, Shirley Valentine - a movie. When I think of Americans, I am reminded of a few phrases from this play. "You speak of summer. And the next you know, you're talking of winter."

In Russia, and around the world, this is how many people view the world. ===== JFK/NIxon/Reagan - you Americans won the world. Now, you want to make us all like you.

Surprisingly, I agree. I'm conservative - I prefer slow change.

Around the world, education and health care are now State sectors - yet slow to change. Why?

This ChatGPT will replace customer agents in poor countries. Sadly. it will not replace teachers in rich countries.

For standard questions, Generative AI (ChatGPT) works well. But our GDP is 15% health and 15% education. Why? We are terrified of death and we care about life. IOW. I suspect that ChatGPT will soon distort answers to medical questions - and make exam responses weird.. AI, machine learning, is based on what we did in the past. There's no Mozart.

In 1970, Trudeau Snr let the Cdn dollar float. Imagine the pressure Pierre was under then. ===== This White House plays different.

When I buy a coffee at Tim's. fergawdakes, please no more political correctness.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wilfrid-laurier-5-banknote-1.6906081 Huge mistake. Do not change. Thompson was Canada's first Catholic federal PM. But Laurier was different. ======= Suggestion: Change his portrait to the old paper portrait.

We in the West have a fundamental problem: how do we bring these various people into this modern world. We in Canada are good at this task. We get along.

I strongly agree.

No. Allow condos with five storeys in places close to where rich people live. ==== Westmount is an exception.

Exactly. It's called NIMBY. ==== Or rather, make me rich. Welcome to America.

And yet in the Western Media, Lee Quan Yew has a positive view. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/22/singapore-lee-kuan-yew-dies-91

In the western media. Putin is the devil/Hitler. In the American MSM, Biden is good - possibly confused.

Both have big egos. Who blinks first? ===== How has the world in the 21st century come to this.

Climate? No. Our bank was under tremendous pressure from the Fed. My thought? We have our own currency for a reason. ==== I reckon that that this Biden Administration plays tough, like Putin.

Disagree. NATO is now about US control/power.

1. We should leave NATO. 2. We should equip our soldiers properly for their jobs.

Ontario has many lakes. Quebec has many rivers. Such is Canada.

I live in Montreal. Some 30,000 years ago my city was buried under a glacier, a kilometer or two of ice. Then, around 10.000 tears ago, a natural dam in northwestern Ontario (Devil's Crater) collapsed and the Lake Agassiz flowed to the Atlantic. My city is a result.
