  1. I agree. Groot must answer this issue of DST.
  2. Nothing? People in Alberta live in a civilised country. We Canadians get along.
  3. Mamdani reminds me of Bitcoin.
  4. Eyeball, 1. I know that you're real. 2. I suspect that you suffer from TDS.
  5. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-lone-ranger-old-time-radio-westerns/id427476432 I prefer more modern podcasts.
  6. James Hill, a Canadian, also built a railway across the continent. But Pierre Berton, like the CBC, told me nothing about this other story.
  7. How to choose a winner? Democratic socialism picks winners by best lobbyist. Markets pick winners by lowest prices. Go figure.
  8. Our current mayor was born in Chile. While driving in her limousine on Notre-Dame-Est (French part of Montreal), she had two flats because of potholes. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2225291/mairesse-montreal-crevaisons-nids-de-poule-soraya-martinez-ferrada
  9. Kissinger understood the basis of peace. Blair flew often to Russia to explain this to Putin. Xi and the Singapore Chinese? ===== We now live in a multipolar world. Let's get along.
  10. Can I trust my kids to take care of me?
  11. Ernest Hemingway wrote for a Toronto newspaper. His comments stand. ======= Toronto is like Chicago: a city on three sides. Toronto without Canada is Detroit.
  12. John, You make two good points: 1. In Canada, we have a byzantine fiscal/tax system that requires - as an individual, in Quebec - two forms. 2. The Quebec government received $14 billion. As an individual, I received nothing from Albertans.
  13. My Rich Uncle? Did he leave me money in his will....
  14. Military defence is different. How? ==== Medically Assisted Death is a person's choice.
  15. Getting back to my OP: Democratic Socialism is a crazy idea.
  16. Lower Manhatten is valuable real estate. I reckon that Mamdani can raise the property tax on Woody Allen's penthouse.
  17. Yet, Churchill is one of those Rudyard Kipling nationalists, war-mongers. He caused the collapse of civilised Europe in Summer 1914.
  18. Greatest leader of the 20th century? ==== But I agree that it was Great Britain (Churchill) who stood alone. Stalin had agreed with Hitler. France had fallen. America was not involved. From 1940 to 1941, Britain was alone.
  19. Frank Mahovlich was traded.
  20. WTF? Yet military deaths are often gratuitous. MAiD is not gratuitous.
  21. So, is it murder if you kill your Uncle before his chosen date for suicide?
  22. Mmmm. Disagree. For Official Americans, you may be correct. But for ordinary Americans, I'd pretend to be Canadian.
  23. Hydro-Quebec knows how much electricity I used. I receive a Hydro-Quebec statement every two months. I pay it. Why do I have to file a federal tax statement and a provincial tax statement? More important, why do I have to file?
  24. Au Québec, la loi indique que seule la SAQ est autorisée à importer des boissons alcooliques. Vous devez donc, même si vous achetez par Internet, vous adresser directement et obligatoirement à la SAQ (tel que décrit plus bas), même s’il s’agit de cadeaux, de dons, d’héritages ou de souvenirs de voyage. https://www.saq.com/fr/importation-boissons-alcooliques You don't understand Canadian politics.
