  1. Eyeball, you miss the point - like Carney has. And trust me Trudeau Snr and Mulroney never missed this point: Canada is provincial.
  2. The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect
  3. Soliliquoy? Of course, it's me speaking to myself. Irony? Everyone in the audience gets the point -except you on the stage.
  4. I am not Chinese. But I strongly agree with the Xi view of the potential future world.
  5. Thucydides Trap? 1. Trump is American? No problem. 2. Crimea is Russian, Taiwan is Chinese. 3. Let's avoid war - get along in a new Kissinger arrangement.
  6. i suspect that many urban voters don't care. 1. They are are poor and don't own a car. 2. They are rich and have a Tesla.
  7. Cats have kittens, dogs have pups. They produce. Dogs and cats? We Canadians get along.
  8. Disagree, Americans generally get along - except when they fought a civil war about a person skin's colour. We Canadians get along - different religions, different languages. No civil war. And trust me, we Canadians can eat grass. Les filles du roy.
  9. Eyeball, Increasingly, across Canada in various provinces, boomers with money will pay for "private medical tests".
  10. Red River Rebellion to Bill 101? How many people in Canada died? The Americans had a horrific Civil War in the 1860s. We Canadians have two federal official languages, and we get along.
  11. Disagree. Strongly. 1. Your government debt is well above 100% of your GDP. 1a. You borrow faster than you earn. 2. Canada has a debt to GDP ratio well below 100. ==== I want a pre-nup.
  12. We have homeless people in Montreal on streets, in tents in July. Tents, very few in January. None on streets.
  13. Disagree strongly. Trump is a typical nationalist. Like Quebec Solidaire, the PQ, NDP: Trump wants to make his society best by only buying at home.
  14. Lobby? No. I want to know what is going on. ==== Embassies? Journalists love to know gossip.
  15. Buffet understood that the Washington Post was a listening post, a source of gossip. I reckon that Bill Gates was naive. Like the Facebook guy. ===== Bezos understood that the Washington Post is a modern embassy.
  16. In Canada, The RCMP protects the PM. They know everything about the guy. And the CAF flies the guy. In Quebec, The SQ protects their PM. They too know everything about what he is doing. HQ flies the guy.
  17. ExFlyer, 1. You and I don't spend money the way the government does. 2. Politicians - every politician, trust me - ensures that the military/secret service/police is well paid. Left wing or Right, no politician will say anything against the police, military.
  18. Disagree. First, Canada's cold weather protects us against many people. Second, Trudeau Snr created another hurdle in Canada: ambitious people move south because they don't speak two languages.
  19. Trump is a nationalist. He defends America. ===== How is he different from the NDP, the Liberals or the PQ?
