August1991

This is not about you Americans. It is about my place in the world.

The MSM/CBC will not report this. ==== Carney approved. The people behind made it happen.

Sickening? ===== I view tattoos as any other signal. Some of us flash an Amex card.

Carney (our PM) gave the union/Air Canada management money. FFS.

AG, I am serious. Carney (and the people behind him) foolishly believe that Ontario is Canada.

Trump recently stopped funding. I tend to agree Canada, I have a different perspective.

No one talks about this anymore. Air Canada? Unions? Silence.

Carney paid someone at Air Canada.

Note to forum adminstrators: His name is Emanuel - one M. Please correct the OP/title Or whatever.

Who paid whom how much. Borrowed money.

Ontario is not Canada. The federal Liberals are wrong.

IMHO, this war is a foolish civil war between stubborn Slavs. ====== You Americans won the Cold War. The Soviet Union is no more.

1. I agree that the Russia-Ukraine war has exposed the importance of drones. 2. Declining/aging population? Men into combat? You lost me. Wars are fought by young men. This will not change. Religions/Tribes/Ethnic Groups/Countries win wars because young men are foolishly willing to die. 3. Conflict zone? You lost me. Sometimes new technology gives the offense an advantage, sometimes the defence. I have walked the remnants of Great War trenches, seen the closeness of Beaumont-Hamel. Austerlitz? Immense.

IMHO, a property tax is like a monthly HOA fee. You know, the cost of getting into Disney World.

Boges, Rabbit hole? Search wikipedia for a Lindahl equlilibrium.

Moonlight Graham, I didn't vote because your poll lacked the option: none of the above.

There is absolutely no way an Ontario Premier would ever be PM of Canada. The Tories tried this premier in the past: Stanfield Only someone from Ontario could imagine this = likely an Ontario federal Liberal. ===== In the US, state governors become presidents. In Canada, provincial premiers do not become federal prime ministers. And since Trudeau Snr, our federal PMs must baraguoine French - even crappy.

The political situation in Quebec has nothing to do with Americans. You Americans are narcissists. Everything is about you. ====== Have you guys ever seen Shirley Valentine? Shirley Valentine: I mean, most fellas ya know, they've got no idea how to talk to a woman. Costas Caldes: No? Shirley Valentine: No. They feel they have to take over the conversation. I mean, I mean with most fellas if you say something like, like my favorite season's autumn, they go oh, oh, my favorite season's spring and then you've got 10 minutes of them talkin' about why they like spring and you weren't talkin' about spring, you were talkin' about autumn. So what do you do? You talk about what they want to talk about. Or you don't talk at all. Or you wind up talking to yourself.

Compared to Europeans, you Americans largely get along. Asians? They are peaceful - until they kill each other, Buddhist/Cambodia style. ==== For centuries, different languages, different religions - we Canadians get along.

1. You Americans foolishly believe that Russians are still Soviets, Communists. (This was Nixon's wrong opinion in 1993.) 2. You Americans foolishly believe that Russians are like Americans. (Carter/Clinton thought like this.) 2. You Americans foolishly believe that Putin is another Hitler. (O'Reilly, Applebaum thinks like this.) ==== I am Canadian. We Canadians are different from you Americans. We live in a multi-polar world.

Trudeau Snr was born in 1919. Trump in 1946. Both were privileged guys. Both did deals. Both married outside their language. ===== And both guys decided to do something good for their country.

1. Of course, you can use a Smartphone. I recently saw two older people tapping and then pushing a phone across the table to have a conversation. 1a. Many more years ago, I recall seeing two younger people flipping through a small dictionary. 2. I reckon that it is best to learn a language in bed. 2a. In bed, there are two people - but one language. 2b. The person who can speak best the other language, will learn most. 3. Music. The best way to learn a language is through music, lyrics. 3a. IME people who sing well on tune also have good accents. 4. Numbers and license plates. All languages have different ways to count. As you walk down a street, look at the plates and say the numbers in your mind.

Carney? People like him lead ordinary people into the cataclysm of Summer 1914.

CdnFox, I agree. ...... It is like the Ukrainian-Russian situation in 2014. It could have been avoided.

Kennedy, Clinton and Obama wanted to make America better. How to do it? ===== Trump is no different.
