August1991

Both cats and dogs have learned to live with us. Camels are not horses.

Some male politicians are creepy. Justin Trudeau was not. Why?

Whether borrowed or taxed, on what are we spending this money? -submarines -F-35s -butter/milk

1. CBC/federal Liberals made this budget as a big deal. -It isn't. 2. Our Federal government is borrowing more -true -but we Canadians can collectively borrow more

I recommend reading Crosbie's book: No Holds Barred.

Well said. The federal Liberals are going to do/pay whatever to get the seats.

Years ago, I asked a Bulgarian woman this precise question: You Bulgarians have survived under the Turks. People in Quebec still speak French. Why? ===== Her answer: we have a superior culture.

From 1763 to 1860 or so, no ship arrived in Canada from France. Yet people in Quebec still speak French.

Bulgarians survived under Turks - for centuries.

Smallwood? My father always said that the 1949 choice missed an option: join the US. ===== British rule? Commission rule. ===== Newfoundlanders have survived for centuries. Like Icelanders.

I am no nationalist. But I perfectly understand why Beijing wants to control Taiwan. ===== We live in a new world: similar to the 1910s.

Immigration? I tend to agree with Biden. America is a large country. Like Canada.

Nowadays? The 2020s? In the 1980s, CdnFox, post 1940s, Nixon/Truman were facing Soviets, world domination. === Nowadays, we in the west only have to face Marxist academics and municipal politicians in large cities.

5% ? Foolish, wrong. ==== Canada does not need nuclear submarines.

Duh? Comfy fur. Read John Crosbie's book.

Disagree. You are a zero-sum thinker, like Ford. === Donald Trump has many faults. But Trump is a positive-sum thinker.

Huh? Trump has every reason to support PSPP. Heck, Trump made Carney PM.

I voted on Sunday. My neighbour's four year old voted also. Twice! https://www.electionsquebec.qc.ca/voter/accompagnez-vos-enfants-aux-petits-bureaux-de-vote/

What war? We defeated the Soviets in 1989 or so. ==== Taiwan is more a Chinese island, than Newfoundland is a part of Canada.

I have always thought that Lévesque was a democrat more than a nationalist. Trudeau Snr was a federalist more than a democrat. And Smallwood was an autocrat - like Duplessis.

You Newfoundlanders used the name of Quebec to borrow the money to build the dam. René Lévesque explained all this to Joey Smallwood.

Let's get along - and do better.

But we Canadians don't allow US milk/cheese/chicken/eggs into Canada. We don't allow foreign airiines to fly between cities in Canada.

Disagree. Trudeau Snr famously noted, in the US Congress, that many hockey players for the Washington team were born in Canada. Trump understands this.

1. Years ago, I could drive to NY and drink a Gennesse beer - with merely my accent. 2. This federal state now takes a picture of me every time I return by air. ===== Iceland, Quebec, Newfoundland, Bulgaria - all are sustainable.
