August1991

I have not read any of O'Reilly's books. And true, he has a co-writer. ==== He strikes me as the American equivalent of English-Canada's Pierre Berton. Years ago, in Quebec, we had Robert Rumilly.

If anyone delivers a service in Canada, they/we should the pay same tax. We should tax/treat foreigners the same as we do ourselves. ==== I am not a nationalist. Canada works because we Canadians get along.

And in the 1920s, the 1930s - ordinary people suffered.

Blah, blah. When this scheme collapses, what happens next? ===== In summer 1914, the scheme collapsed.

You must be Australian. ===== My daughter just drove 800 km to visit grand-parents - for a weekend. Their dog loves the fresh water.

Disagree. In the 2008 bubble, people thought that they could get rich - by flipping houses. Bitcoin? We'll all get rich on nothing.

AG, Blink. I have been twice to the monument. It was a bombing mission to St-Nazaire.

Michael, Still laughing. ==== Sadly, my old ginger cat can't hear.

Trump is now President. Bourassa was re-elected. Nixon became president. And Poilievre may have a seat

blackbird, are you from Iran? One of those Shi'ite Muslims? Most Sunnite Muslims tolerate the "Protestant" Christians.

What individuals do in private is their own business. "But when it becomes public, it's a different matter."

Should the State discriminate by your choice of tattoo?

Huh? Americans maybe. In 1979, Margaret Thatcher won.

I reckon that all were competitive. And all were ambitious. To me, there's a difference between competitive men, and ambitious men.

You came close. No cigar.

Taxage. === Extortion. When people want something from you.

Iran uses the term "Supreme" Leader - as translated to English. Imagine some smart guys in the 18th century looking for a term for "above all": "Higher, President, Sovereign, Ultimate, Senior, Supreme, Superior... "

Survival? Get along? What's the difference? To be honest, I'm still struggling with the difference between competition and ambition. ===== Some people are ambitious, others competitive. Some people simply want to get along.

Disagree? True. But we did not kill each other in a Civil War. For several centuries, unlike Europeans and our southern neighbours, we get along.

Disagree. Bitcoin is a typical Ponzi scheme. It's not like the real estate bubble of 2008.

And endless wars for the rest of us.

Finland? I suspect that you follow civil code. UK? I suspect it's the common law. In such matters, Canada has both common law and civil code - depending on province.

This bill C-5 is typical Argentine 1920s thinking. -a Strong Man will fix the problem.

Institutions, traditions, written rules matter. -The Chinese have Confucius. -Americans have a clearly written Constitution. ===== We Canadians have people who get along.
