August1991

Good point. Some 100 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan. For what? Surely there is a better way to make our health care system work, and make our military work.

Many a Jones wants to signal that they're ahead of Smith. Nothing new in that. ===== But at present, Warren Buffet/Vladimir Putin/Woody Allen do not organise their lives the way that I do. I have to mess with cumbersome passwords, weird screens. Buffett et al has a trustworthy personal assistant to deal with such problems.

I remember my grandmother (on one side) and my grandfather (on the other side). (My two other grandparents died before I was born, of currently curable afflictions.... ) As kids say today, all were biological. Did you meet, do you remember your four grandparents? Do you think males need a grandparent? The role of duty, gender and intergenerational care in grandmothers’ parenting of grandchildren: a phenomenological qualitative study - PMC

Hmmm. In WWI, the machine gun - self-propelled bullets - was devastating. True. Artificial intelligence, computers etc, are different. ====== At present, no one knows how to monetise AI. My point is that AI requires trust. I suspect that banks will introduce AI - at first for old people.

Trump made Carney. And Carney is not going to buy a Swedish jet. ===== If I were a Poilievre & PSPP, I would stand up for this country.

True. And Eyeball, you want to impose human problems on innocent animals. ===== I live in Montreal, on island. I reckon that we must solve urban city problems better.

Disagree. This forum was first public (Lethbridge), then private... ===== Nowadays it is cheap to have a forum. The cost is to verify posts - such as me. I am surprised this forum still exists

Team always knows? ==== Target was private. Berlin was public.

I strongly disagree. === Truman/Kennedy/Reagan/Thatcher fought these socialists, on a world scale. They won. ---- Taiwan, like Hong Kong, is part of China.

Nationalist, I have not looked at your posts. Dunno. I am not American. ====== Some foreigners living abroad are described as "immigrants". Other foreigners living abroad are described as "expats". What's the difference?

What we do in Canada is our affairs -whatever plane. ==== Trump gaslights the American left. Trump has nothing to do with Canada - except when he gets a federal Liberal elected. As a Canadian, I generally ignore Trump.

Pierre Trudeau, to his credit, understood this country. He used the federal party to gain power. Carney, and the current federal Liberals, mis-understand Canada.

Huh? Steady increase? Women don't like Trump - women don't like Poilievre.

Rich important people like Musk/Gates/Zuckerburg/Trump/Xi/Putin trust other people (humans) to organise their lives. Would you entrust your life the same way?

Yet, the comparison is germane. Some humans feed squirrels the same way they feed fellow humans.

Typical die-hard anglo/federalists/limo-liberal/Westmount/west-island have no alternative. The PLQ has become an enclave.

Easier said than done. I like Visual Studio.

I suspect that local banks will lead AI. Maybe Apple. Nobody trusts the Internet, Facebook, Microsoft or Google anymore.

Still laughing. But true, CdnFox, I dunno. ===== Years ago, I walked through the home of a rich American person in the late 19th century (Sarasota, Fla - Ringling). It had hot and cold running water. I recall seeing the bathroom of Louis XV. It had a tub. Versailles? It has a small opera room, similar to many home-theatre rooms in America today. Here's my point: What rich people did in the past, everyone will do in the future. ==== Except Elvis. We will not all have shag carpet.

JS, you lost me there. AI is not about original thought. AI is understanding what I do. It is my assistant.

To defeat the Soviets, the Americans put Pershing missiles in West Germany. Surely the Americans can put drones in Mexico.

And what of Newfoundland? Newfoundland -the island province. Set aside the Labrador coast.

IMHO, Ontario would be Michigan. Toronto would be Detroit. ==== Who has the power/control?

Sometimes I wish that Pierre Trudeau were alive today and could say what he thinks about world affairs. He was a federalist. Lévesque was a democrat.

The Sopranos? Laval = New Jersey Island = Manhattan
