August1991

Well said.

Americans can print money as long as foreigners want to hold the greenback.

"...bunch of domains.... " I'm different. I like to keep it simple.

Agreed. No human will live on Mars. Our DNA is not designed for such a planet. ==== 1. Climate change? Let's send robots to Venus to figure out what happened. 2. Impending doom? Let's send satellites to detect incoming asteroids.

Disagree - but good question. Shady, do voters choose a "party" or "a person"?

Both spoke delightful French. Hint for kids: If you want to be successful in politics in Canada, speak French the way these two guys did. ==== IMHO: Trudeau was a federalist more than a democrat. Lévesque was a democrat more than a federalist.

Spanky, Europe has better neighbours? Wtf? Summer 1914.... We Canadians could not wish for a better neighbor. ==== If I were Poilievre/Carney, I'd remind Trump that you Americans could not wish for a better neighbour.

Trust me. The island of Newfoundland was dear to the heart of Pierre Trudeau. Most people in Newfoundland have two origins -the family name tells the tale: England (before 1800) and Ireland (after 1800). Yet, this island of Catholics and Protestants get along.

Flaubert famously re-read, corrected, rewrote. He never finished Madame Bovary. Woody Allen famously never watched his movies. ===== Balzac pissed text. Like Oates, he described an era.

Politics is an ugly game.

I recently drove to Plattsburgh. No problem entering the US. Return to Canada? ===== We could not hope for better neighbors.

Margaret Atwood wrote a novel "Surfacing". Simply bad writing. Then she wrote "Survival", it is all wrong about Canada. ======= Robertson Davies is a far better writer. And better story teller. But he's not CBC.

And we Canadians - French/English, Catholic/Protestant, Alberta/Ontario - could not hope for a better neighbor.

Disagree. Strongly. === You Americans could not wish for a better neighbour.

We have been down this path many times Laurier believed in Reciprocity. Trudeau said we were a mouse in bed with an elephant. Mulroney negotiated a deal.

Huh? At the time, I suspect that that they were ridding themselves of a problem. As we do now about immigrants....

Rob Reiner hated Donald Trump. Carroll O'Connor was a good actor.

I have three different email addresses. I strongly advise you all to do the same. ===== Microsoft and Apple cannot sort the difference.

I am old. Boomer. Rob Reiner boomer. 1. I have an email for stupid stuff. When I login on random places 2, I have another email for important stuff: Amazon, etc. 3. I have an email for banking.

To me, this so called World War II was an extension of WW I. Europeans frequently fight each other: the period of 1914-1945 was typical. Like the Napoleonic Wars. ==== We Canadians get along.

Utter disaster. Pablo may have to resign. ==== Mark Carney and the federal Liberals think all is well - but in local, provincial Canada, it isn't. Canada is a federal state - unlike current China.

Trust me. The federal Liberals will pay/do whatever to get another person to cross the floor.

I have the DNA of a grandmother who died in 1929 and the grandfather who died in 1925.

To be clear, John Stone, you met and spoke to all four grandparents? I didn't. I only knew/met two in my lifetime.

I strongly recommend reading John Crosbie's book No Holds Barred, and his account of the Newfoundland election of 1971. Winston Churchill apparently crossed twice.
