  1. Mercer was Catholic and gay. We get along! ===== Under Smallwood, when the Minister was Catholic, the Deputy was Protestant - and vice-versa.
  2. Old joke - badly reported. ==== Some Newfoundlanders are Catholic, Irish. But most are Protestant.
  3. I reckon that Putin and Xi know this. Heck, imagine Truman at Potsdam. "I have a trump card. I bombed twice."
  4. Local people who know far better. We do not need F-35s.
  5. To return to my OP: 1. Albertans need an outlet to the ocean. 2. BC can be divided.
  6. America? China? German? Prussian? Japan? Russia. I remember looking at these kids, young men. And thinking that if I had to go into battle, I could not hope for a better group. In the 1940s, Jimmy Stewart had such a group.
  7. I do not want to give 5% of my efforts/savings to the military. My taxes? Please cut by 5%. ===== We Canadians get along.
  8. CdnFox, Apparently, you can't. I can. ==== America has sophisticated B-2 bombers that can fly across the world to put bombs precisely below the ground. Wars are fought by young men. Years ago, I taught abroad. I looked at these young men. America no longer has such young men.
  9. Agreed. More Canadians died on the beach in Dieppe than in an Air India plane. How many Newfoundlanders died at Beaumont-Hamel? What's the difference?
  10. Pollsters used to say: "A mile wide but an inch deep."
  11. This guy Mamdani explains what is happening. Trump was first to get it.
  12. https://www.policymagazine.ca/the-digital-services-tax-standoff-an-own-goal-we-could-do-without/ Perrin Beatty. OC, QC. KC? Heck, what a first name - and titles. In this case, I agree.
  13. Whatever. You try that, you are putting boots on the ground. Soviet soldiers in Berlin. Coulter-style rape. ==== Adam Smith and Lee Quan Yew won. We need a new structure of peace.
  14. I have not read any of O'Reilly's books. And true, he has a co-writer. ==== He strikes me as the American equivalent of English-Canada's Pierre Berton. Years ago, in Quebec, we had Robert Rumilly.
  15. If anyone delivers a service in Canada, they/we should the pay same tax. We should tax/treat foreigners the same as we do ourselves. ==== I am not a nationalist. Canada works because we Canadians get along.
  16. And in the 1920s, the 1930s - ordinary people suffered.
  17. Blah, blah. When this scheme collapses, what happens next? ===== In summer 1914, the scheme collapsed.
  18. You must be Australian. ===== My daughter just drove 800 km to visit grand-parents - for a weekend. Their dog loves the fresh water.
  19. Disagree. In the 2008 bubble, people thought that they could get rich - by flipping houses. Bitcoin? We'll all get rich on nothing.
  20. AG, Blink. I have been twice to the monument. It was a bombing mission to St-Nazaire.
  21. Michael, Still laughing. ==== Sadly, my old ginger cat can't hear.
  22. Trump is now President. Bourassa was re-elected. Nixon became president. And Poilievre may have a seat
  23. blackbird, are you from Iran? One of those Shi'ite Muslims? Most Sunnite Muslims tolerate the "Protestant" Christians.
