August1991

Yet in Canada, we have provinces. Albertans can manage their own savings. Quebecers do.

Francois Legault: Unlike Harper, he's done a Justin Trudeau. Mulroney tried this - they chose a DEI woman. Disaster. Mario Dumont could win this.

Returning to the OP: -Expatriate vs Immigrant We now live in a world where these terms are the same.

After 1815, for a century, the European world had peace. Stone, you ignore the revolts of 1848. === In 1989, we defeated ideology; gangsters who want to control the world. In these 2020s, we must have a similar sit-down as in Vienna in 1815.

Agree up to the reference to the CCP. Soviets, Communists, Maoists? Leftists on a mission to control/change the world? We defeated these people in 1989. ===== Since 1991 or so, we need a new world order. And guys like Bush and Carney ain't it.

I met and knew only two of my four grandparents. I remember them. I never met any of my eight great-grandparents.

Huh? You had two grandparents born in the 18th century? And you met them? Michael, are you - uh- 143 years old or so?

Jean Charest in 1993. Then 2003.

Bob Rae Ontario Sep 1990. Harold Wilson 1964

Trudeau Snr in Feb 1980.

Years ago, I remember this term. Capitalism: "Market decides". (This is inefficient.) Communism/Socialism: "Dictator decides". ==== Democratic Socialism was a way for society to organize efficiently. Our government owns resources. And we vote in democratic elections to decide how to use these resources.

This is a remarkable conflict of interest. ==== Anita Anand was born in Nova Scotia. I trust her more.

Michael, Did you meet all four biological grand-parents?

Golda Meir.

Groot, I am real. You are fake.

Agree, Nationalist.

After 1815, for 100 years, Europe (the world) had peace for a century. Kissinger got his PhD on this point. Until 1914.

Sorta agree. Unlike anyone in the Islamic world, the Protestant Britons made a woman their sovereign.

Since 1991, we are in a world like 1815. But only Trump gets it.

Strongly disagree. 1. Expats frequently work - like immigrants. 2. Many immigrants move home - like expats. 3. Both migrants and expats come to make money.

Conflict of interest? Our former federal finance is now working for a foreign government. What was she doing before? Canada is a large country: many Canadians have no opinion about the Russia/Ukraine war.

The population of Greenland is some 60,000. Baffin Island, 13,000. I would offer $1 to each resident. Cost? $73,000. Trump? He'll offer $100,000 to each resident. Cost to American taxpayers? $7.3 billion

Orwell was imagining a world - after the cataclysm of 1914-1945. In 1991, in fact, America defeated the Soviets.

Since 1991, Communism, the Soviet Union. leftists, socialists and their crazy ideology are no longer a threat to the world - except among academics/municipal elections in the West. ==== In these 2020s, we now live in a world similar to 1815. Or 1945. Or how Nixon/Kissinger did things.

Following Harper, America recently eliminated the penny. Some 350 million Americans lost a penny: what did America lose?
