August1991

Disagree. Doug Ford is not a skilled politician. In Ontario, to win, all you have to do is run against the Americans. Robarts. Davis... They coulda chose Timbrell.

In the past, we chose sides by skin colour, religion, language. Most English Canadians disagree with Trump, but they agree with urban Americans. ==== Many French Canadians disagree with Trump, but they too agree about survival.

Trudeau Snr described it as a mouse in bed with an elephant.

1. Wonderful concept/story: Imagine a modern film (21st century) based on such an idea. 2. Look at the women. Look at how characters view good/bad. 3. In the 1940s, their final chapter was our modern CGI: too many shoot-outs.

When Carney first ran for federal Liberal, his French was weird, shakey. I am impressed with his recent French. His accent is now intelligent Canadian English-speaker; he has the vocabulary. ==== I conclude that Carney is a very ambitious guy.

Since Rabourin and Sauve are splitting the vote, I predict Soraya will be the next mayor. BTW: Soraya was once a federal Liberal cabinet minister.

In 1971, Trudeau Snr was a Jesuit negotiating with a Nixon pragmatist. In 2025, Carney is an academic negotiating with a Brooklyn real estate dealer.

Strongly disagree. ====== Reagan defeated the Soviets in 1991.

About 70 years, or so. Three generations or so - grandchildren know their grandparents. Do you know/remember any of your four grandparents?

1. In Canada, we have many restrictions on trade: milk, cheese, banks, airlines. Oil pipelines. This foreign guy is doing our fight. 2. In Canada, we have no politician who is able to confront our internal lobbies - and yet win enough votes/seats to win. 3. You Americans have a wonderful constitution that protects you against a dictator: -In Canada, we only have a Charter of Rights.

This is a stupid civil war between Slavs.

Search "What's Up **** Cat" for Woody Allen's involvement, opinion. "Take the Money and Run", true talent on display. ==== Kubrick had a similar view of movies.

Maybe. Woody Allen did original stuff after the 1970s.

The Bible has two "books": The Old Testament (Jewish) and the New Testament (Christian). ==== Sustainable society? I think the lesson of the New Testament is more useful. "I will turn the other cheek until you don't." Tit-for-tat.

Herbie, You must be a small-town lawyer or a smart accountant. I am neither.

CdnFox, disagree. Some individuals/people/families don't save for the future. A successful/sustainable society saves for all.

The CPP and Caisse force people to put aside their effort for the future. The Caisse is uh "wisely" doing this in Quebec with the REM. ==== Who should decide our future?

We all contribute to the CPP. -Women live longer than men. -The CPP means we don't consume - what happens to this effort?

Younger people know about minimum wage Middle people: key rates Older people: know all about OAP, Gains

Stupidest forum title ever. Maybe I have responded before

Exactly. Boomers? Old people have dogs/cats - because they can't deal with humans.

In Canada, there is no "estate tax". But when a person dies, the entire estate is sold - including RRSP, home, cabin/cottage/chalet -and becomes an "income". It is taxed as income.

Buddhists do not avoid this fundamental problem.

Turn the other cheek is fundamental to Christians. It makes Christians different from Jews - and even Muslims. Tit for tat.

McCartney first wrote "Yesterday" as "Scrambled Eggs" until Lennon changed the lyrics. And Brickman told Allen to remove the jokes on the script of Annie Hall.
