Whatever. IME, the morning meal is the culture tell of a person. Later in the day, we try different food.

Herbie, True. But at a price well beyond what ordinary Europeans or Americans pay. ==== We Canadians have no choice. We must buy Canadian cheese. Trump is correct. Some people are left-handed, others right. Give us choice.

Slow news. Fires? Canada? Climate change? If it bleeds, it leads.

Herbie, Tell me otherwise.

Our Charter of Rights restricts the State: what the State can do. The US Constitution explains the various powers of a federal State. And then, in an amendment, it leaves all power to the individual. Power is control.

IMHO, there are three views of New York City: -Mazursky -Woody Allen -Scorcese

Disagree. Strongly. We Canadians cannot buy foreign cheese.

Carney is a guy like Andrew Coyne. Predictable.

Bien dit.

Trump is correct. We let no cheese into Canada.

Trump is correct. The USAID bought opinion.

With the Charter, Trudeau Snr wanted to restrict the power of the State. The Charter, like the US Bill of Rights, is written to protect an individual against the State. ===== Trudeau Snr favoured a federal state because such regimes made individuals free.

All for State genocide canadians and budget! Ukraine, gaza.

You must be American or Prussian - certainly Protestant. No pancake/waffle? ===== Elsewhere in the world, people have a different first meal of the day. And as I say, the first meal is a tell of our cultural heritage. Some of us try different foods later in the day; few after waking.

Disagree. The scripts of 1950s TV first tested the Hays Code. Pushed the envelope. ===== Nowadays, Trump can break the Code because of the internet.

Agreed. Natural gas turbines have the advantage of quick start for peak demand. ==== I reckon that this CO2 fear/panic will become something similar to eugenics: True, but maybe we shouldn't trust experts.

Look at the conditions for recognition. Carney is milquetoast.

Doug Ford at least seems to have a direction. Carney? He's no Blair - let alone a Thatcher.

You lost me at Marxist dictator. Whatever his sons (or wife) are, Pierre Elliot Trudeau was no Marxist dictator. Heck, he brought Jack Horner across the floor. IMHO, Trudeau Snr was a federalist before being a democrat. But above all, Trudeau Snr thought about the individual in a State: https://historyofrights.ca/encyclopaedia/main-events/1937-padlock-act/

I liked the take-away - quote of Dion: "Canada does not work in theory. It only works in practice." Unlike Dion who works in theory, not in practice. I knew his father, Leon. Smart guy but like Claude Ryan.

Across Canada, nowadays, people want a federal politician who says: this is where we must go. =Trudeau Snr did this =Macdonald did this =Mulroney did this =heck, even Pearson did this. ====== -this guy Carney is not doing this

Disagree. The Dems foolishly put Trump in court, and lost the 2024 election. ===== I reckon that if Trump puts Obama in court, the Repubs will lose the midterms. But what what do I know....

Disagree strongly. What strikes me about Trump 47 are the whistleblowers.

Democrats twice impeached Trump. The Democrats strip searched Bannon, put him in jail for several months. The Democrats woke Roger Stone. The Democrats forced Donald Trump to sit in a New York City court. ====== I reckon that we will see at least Brennan in orange.

Mamdani, Poilievre and even Nixon don't quite understand: Bourassa returns to power. Like Trump
