August1991

Carney as Liberal PM? This is a huge mistake for English-Canada. Canadian banks have never chosen sides.

Churchill referred to the wars of religions, nations.

Audit? The US federal IRS system seems to be random. Like the CRA. Revenu-Quebec seems to know about me.

Disagree. This forum is remarkable. It has survived.

It is not a petty issue. In France, I buy food that clearly states its origin. ==== When I buy milk or cheese in Canada, I want to know its origin. Heck, let me decide whether it is good.

I saved money, at great expense; I first travelled abroad because of the 747. British Airways. I flew home on a Air Canada DC-8. ===== Ernest Hemingway got to Europe in 1917. How? I suspect that he was white, male, tall, rich.

Thousands, millions, billions, trillions - at some point in the future, we will measure in quadrillions. Nationalist, you miss the point

Disagree. We Canadians often hate each other. Indeed, we often hate each to the point of violence. But then we get along. ===== Check out the FLQ.

I don't like this guy, Scheer. I met him once. He's no Chretien. But he shows the same logic: https://x.com/AndrewScheer/status/1941244552003846436?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet

Why are urban educated women so opposed to Trump? Yet many young skilled men -handy men- favour him?

I admire you Americans and your Constitution. Heck, you Americans -divided- fought a horrific civil war a century ago to maintain your Constitution. You seem divided now.

WTF? 1. How does the federal IRS (CRA) calculate how much state sales tax a person paid? 2. Huh? 200K - why, God wish. In Canada, this would mean that if the provincial government taxes me, and if I earn more than 200,000, I could reduce my federal tax by the amount I paid to provincial tax. Heck, Quebec already does this.

Hilarious.

Kennedy created the Peace Corps. Trudeau Snr did the same with OFY. They both wanted to duplicate their Trust Fund life.

Note to people who fly economy to Cuba: Your CO2 emissions are about the same as if you drove the same distance in a car alone. Many people have no car, but they fly.

Note to Quebecers: Norway produces neither cars, nor jets. And it's not part of the EU. Norway, as Parizeau wished, has its own currency. ===== In Norway, a kwh is about 4X the price in Quebec. Norwegians do not waste their resource at home - they sell it abroad,

Quebec produces Bombardier Challenger Jets that rich people use to travel. Ontario produces ICE (internal combustion engines - based on gasoline) cars.

Additives? Gimme a break. ==== Here's your tell kids: Have you ever noticed that grocery stores have TWO very separate cheese sections? -One section -close to margarine- is for the standard Canadian 400g Cheddar/Brick/Mozzarella. -Another section in the store -closer to the deli- is for the high-end Oka, Brie.

Coward? Barquentine, I have not read through this thread. ====== Mackenzie King lost a seat, and then ran in the same election, to become PM. Mulroney lost, then ran in Nova Scotia, and won in Quebec. Pickersgill was parachuted. Welcome to Canadian politics. ===== What strikes me about Poilievre is that he's like Nixon (or Clinton). He comes back.

Why did they disagree? Both were federalists. In general, we Canadians get along.

Canada has a GDP of some 2 trillion. 90 billion? Is that a rounding number? My daughter owes 2 thousand on her MasterCard. ==== What do these numbers mean?

Disagree. Strongly. We Canadians have been involved in too many wars abroad. But amongst ourselves, we get along. We Canadians have a long history and despite our differences: French, English, Catholic, Protestant, we get along.

Disagree. Still laughing. === Urban Montrealers are not Quebec. Canada is a remarkable country.

We Canadians get along. Nous autres, malgré tout, on s'entend.
