August1991

Trudeau Snr invoked the War Measures Act and probably caused more problems.

Disagree. Trump wants to make America great again.

Crosbie. Charest. We are talking about Quebec/Nfld relations.

Trudeau Snr understood this. Mark Carney does not.

Within Canada, Quebecers, people in Ontario expect special treatment. In the world, we Canadians expect special treatment. Why? ===== We Canadians have always had the benefit of being American without any of the cost.

Canada is protected with cold weather.

All things considered, some two centuries later, you Americans sorta understand a federal state. We Canadians sorta understand a bilingual federal state.

Robertson Davies is a sorta-good writer. I recommend his "Fifth Business". Maupassant, Hemingway were good writers. Balzac, Dickens wrote well for money. Pushkin was a good poet. Tolstoi used this medium. ===== In the year 2200 or so, no one will read a book/story by Atwood. I suspect that they will still read Somerset Maugham.

I am clueless about guns in Canada. ==== Army Guy, I trust you.

I am a real poster. And I approve this post - but I suspect that Hodad is fake.

I happen to think that Walz/Frey are correct on this. Trump should not send federal soldiers to enforce the Constitution. ==== In 1970, Trudeau Snr sent federal soldiers in Quebec. He claimed Bourassa asked him.

Apple, Microsoft? Coca-Cola, Pepsi. All the same? Republicans vs Democrats. Same? The billionaires control the story? ====== You Americans have a choice: You can move to a different State - or even to a different county.

God knows. In later life, Robert Redford (RIP) apparently was obsessive about his privacy. Younger, he wanted to be known.

Quebec politics are in flux. The federal/provincial Liberals don't have a leader. The nationalists don't have a leader.

The mission itself? It is not hard to get a rocket up. Bezos has done that. Shepard did that. It is hard to get a rocket going fast enough that it doesn't fall back down. We imagine the universe in three-dimensions when in fact it is four dimensions. But maybe it is better to imagine space in two dimensions: On Earth, we live on the Prairies at the bottom of a sink-hole. We can send somethings fast enough to circle the hole but to get out of this hole, we must send it very fast. The Moon is another sink-hole - far away. We managed to send the Apollo modules out of our Earth gravity to circle within the Moon sink-hole. This Artemis II mission will push people to the upper edges of the Moon sink-hole.

Ordinary people? Maybe I should have said common people.

1. Around the world, many planes take off and land safely. Nowadays, the pilots are women and men, have light skin or dark - born in Africa or America: they can fly a plane. 2. Look at the names of the people who launched/sent satellites/devices far into space. Who designed such devices? We can still communicate with Voyageur I and II. 3. Around the world, people will know how to see this. ===== Here's my point: It is not that we can merely get along. It is that we live in a world where ordinary people can now fly a plane, do calculus. Ordinary people can use a phone to text.

Disagree entirely. 1. The accent was genuine. 2. Like Trump, he was a populist. 3. Bouchard was born in 1938. Chretien in 1934. They are the last remnants of a classical education.

Carney seems to want deals with China. Is that better?

Do you realise how hard it is to get to the top - and stay there? It is easy to captain a boat in calm waters. In a storm, everyone looks to the captain. ====== In the storm of the 1930s, Churchill was a good captain. In the storm of the 2000s, Bush Jnr was an awful captain.

Greenland? Iran.... For those that care about a cat - my deaf, ginger, male cat. He's still alive. And noisy.

Some unknown people want to be famous. (Cher said to Sonny, "Make me famous!") Other suddenly famous people want to be private. (John Dean's secretary famously said: "I guess this is my 15 minutes.") The fifteen minutes refers to Andy Warhol. ====== My OP is different. I recently received a phone message from someone who said: "I don't use email."

https://globalnews.ca/news/11616295/carney-landmark-china-deal-tariffs-quota/ The federal Liberals need to win seats across Canada. China? ===== Most Canadians want us to get along with Americans.

Gilles Duceppe was the son of a famous actor. I never met him. I met Lucien Bouchard once in person, the 1990s. He was driving a Saab, between Ottawa and Montreal. I recall thinking what a life. Both were born in the 1940s.
