In Canada, we can't do that. ==== I pay Montreal property taxes. I pay these in person. I also pay income taxes to the province, Quebec. Finally, I pay taxes to the federal government, the CRA.

Shady, This forum is remarkable.

To clarify, "local" means state or municipal/property.

In Canada, we can't do that. In Canada, we cannot reduce our federal taxes with provincial government taxes paid - except in Quebec. ==== IMHO, Trump made the US tax system more "fair" - more accurate.

On this, I strongly agree with Rand Paul. (Otherwise, I think he misses the broader point of life: we have to get along.) In Canada, we do not have such a federal department. For many reasons, in Canada, we leave education to provinces.

Disagree. In this day and age, wars are still fought by naive young males.

US Republicans are proud of Reagan. He supposedly defeated the Soviet Union. I disagree. I frankly think that the Soviet Union could have survived for many years after Brezhnev. If Andropov had lived, the Soviet Union could have existed for many more years. ===== For better or worse, Gorbachev foolishly chose to do things differently. Like Trump.

Cabotage. We agree. ==== 1. Have you ever noticed why the Caisse Desjardins/ATB is not a "bank"? 2. Have you ever noticed why grocery stores have two cheese sections? 3. Have you heard of Videotron?

Wars are fought by young foolish naive men, aged 16-19 or so. Ukraine has no such men. Russia does.

Compared to China? ==== We Canadians get along.

Europeans often kill each other. Americans once killed each other. We Canadians get along.

So incensed, Napoleon went back and defeated the Austrians at Austerlitz - close to Hubertusburg. Hitler did the same at Compiegne.

The Treaty of Hubertusburg, signed in February 1763. It ended the Seven Years War between Prussia and Austria. Nowadays, the Palace of Hubertusburg is in once was East Germany. It is under renovation. Stanley Kubrick made a good movie.

Let me come back to this. If I understand properly, in the US, if I make gross 200k - I only have to pay federal tax on 150k.

Mighty rebellion? 1837? Gimme a break. ===== Curious, I looked further at the context of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. I discovered that the Seven Years War had two treaties. The far more significant treaty was signed in a hunting lodge in Saxony - between Prussia and Austria. === Napoleon, like Hitler, once made a point of winning in the same place.

While walking a dog, I thought of your point. -Squirrels. -Canada is cold. Let's see what happens in December

We Canadians do not allow foreign financial institutions into Canada. We do not allow foreign airlines into Canada. We do not allow foreign cheese into Canada. We do not allow foreign phone providers into Canada. ==== Trump is correct.

Precisely. I'm with Trudeau Snr. An airline is not a measure of a country.

Disagree strongly. Robosmith, your answer seems like an AI based on Wikipedia.

Disagree. Strongly. Ordinary people -around the world- generally waste less than we Canadians. But they need hydrocarbons. ==== I am amazed that we rich Canadians would stop foreigners from our wealth.

There used to be a similar French-language forum. It no longer exists.

IMHO, this forum offers the best of English language Canada federal Left/Right political opinion.

Huh? Nowadays, some Americans hate Trump. In the 1860s, some people were Catholic and others Protestant. In Canada, we got along.

No, in Canada at large. Ontario's first premier was Catholic. Google it.

Vacation airlines are always difficult. Butts in seats. Since Westjet bought Sunwing, it is an utter disaster Before, Sunwing knew its customers, pilots, staff: Sunwing knew its market, business. Westjet doesn't ==== You Albertans don't understand Canada, Quebec.
