August1991

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

PET won his first election in June 1968 - a majoriity, no landslide like Diefenbaker- but a true Canadian majority. He lost in 1972, then won in 1974 - barely, because of Quebec.

Many Quebecers are zero-sum thinkers. If foreigners use electrictity, this makes Quebec rich because Quebec has electrictity.

Tamara disagreed with a government of the State. ====== The FLQ wanted to change the State.

Pierre Trudeau created our Charter for precisely this purpose.

We Canadians have a federal Constitution. Like the Americans, our Constitution now has a Charter of Rights that protects an individual against the State.

Disagree, We Canadians have a desire to get along.

Obama played the same nationalist card. Trudeau Snr didn't. ====== Trudeau Snr famously said: "I want to put Quebec in its place; and its place is in Canada." Obama should have said this.
