Blackbird. I disagree. You think there is Good and Evil. When you pray, you think that you can talk to God. (I think that you are simply talking to yourself.)

Margaret Atwood wrongly called this "Survival". Russians - Bulgarians - survive. We Canadians get along. Malgré tout, on réussit à s'entendre.

Harris will win. She will be a disaster. The Republicans will win the federal Senate - keep the federal House. Your constitution will withstand.

I prefer English/French verb conjugations - no gender involved. He chose. Elle a choisi. ===== But then there's the direct object She chose him or He chose her. Elle l'a choisi vs il l'a choisie.

Prespektiv - fake, Why do Filipinos not use knives?

Le Canada - quel pays !

The Republicans will win both.

Yet our Canadian census form does exactly that. === How is a US ballot - with its many questions - different from a census form?

Whatever. To me, Europe was civilised in 1912. And then, it commit suicide.

You have a zero-sum thinking. ==== Nixon/Kissinger had a different view.

I was recently in Pusan. ===== America won the Cold War. Koreans are weird.

Strongly disagree. Years ago, I took the train from Saigon to Hanoi - stopped in Hue.

Rebound, This is 1930s thinking. You think that we must defeat this Napoleon/Hitler. ===== In these 2020s, we are in a 1912 world.

Not entirely true. Voter turn out has been falling. But in 2020, it suddenly grew. Some rich people are helping the other people to vote - be part of the system.

1. I don't think the Democrats broke the law in 2020. 2. Here, you and I disagree. I think that the Dems are mailing ballots to everyone in Wayne County and Philadelphia.

In Canada, in our federal and provincial elections, we vote for one candidate. Our ballot is short and sweet (except recently,) In America, depending on state and county, a ballot is as complicated as a Canadian census form.

In Canada, people arrived at my door to help me complete a complicated census form. A US ballot has always reminded me of a Canadian census form. The Dems have discovered kryptonite: make the US voting system like our Canadian census.

President Harris? She reminded me first of Kim Campbell. Now I fear that she may be an Isabel Peron. Anyway, Harris is no Thatcher. Nor Rodham. Nor Indira Gandhi. Nor Golda Meir.

With mail-in ballots, it is now impossible for a Republican to win in any urban county. Most of America is now like California and Illinois - Cook County. She will win Michigan because of Wayne County. She will win Pennsylvania because of Philadelphia.

Cheat? The Dems are not going to cheat. The Dems are going to collect ballots the same way we in Canada collect census forms. I have compared this idea - a US vote/ballot and a Canadian census form. Very similar. Both are complicated with many questions. Now, imagine if I could pay people to help you complete your form..... That's not cheating.

Sarajevo, Lvov, Lemberg, Ukraine, Taiwan. Whatever..... I think Bismarck famously said that the next war will start with a skirmish in the Balkans. ===== I reckon that that World War I started because of a break down in understanding between major powers. And these 1912 crowns all thought the war would be short. (The modern term is escalate.) In 1989, we defeated Communism. America is now one power among several.

To clarify, unlike everyone in America who thinks that Putin is another Hitler, I reckon that we are in a situation similar to Europe prior to the summer 1914. In 2020, we Canadians are a world player. We have cards to play. Chretien played a good card when Bush Jnr asked us to get involved.

Disagree. Local tax collectors work better. I pay my property tax in person - this is how the Putin-system collects taxes. The CRA bureaucrats (now working from home, feeding their dog_ } Clueless.

Macron is about to arrive in Canada. Our PM should speak French as his father. IMHO, Poilievre should remind the French President that we don't want to get involved.
