August1991

Kennedy was your first Catholic president. Biden your second. Both were Democrats. Reagan was born Catholic but converted. All your presidents have been Protestant - except for Kennedy and Biden.

In 1960, how many Catholics voted for Nixon? In 2008, how many Blacks voted for McGain? ==== In 1896, in a federal election in Canada, given the choice of a Catholic francophone, how many crossed lines and voted for an Anglo protestant. This is Canada.

I agree. I'm a Mulroney/Reagan, Chretien/Clinton kinda Canadian. Nixon/Trudeau, I understand. We have leverage. Carney/Trump, new world.

Disagree. I largely don't know who Kurt Cobain is.

After The Apartment, none. He had no hits; nothing popular. ==== Billy Wilder famously said, "I play polka. Don't ask me to play rock."

Years ago, I asked a young woman in western Ukraine about the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Why did it collapse? Her answer? Hungarians are unstable/revolutionary.

Play the game? Mulroney? What a guy! A Catholic who speaks English. On the take.... And yet Pierre Trudeau won votes in 1968 among anglo-protestants. Heck, Laurier did it in 1896. Wait, our first Roman-Catholic PM was John Thompson. :

IMHO, Carney is a typical ambitiious LSE, BMO, GoldmanSachs Harvard PhD guy. Trump is a typical ambitious Wharton guy. ==== Note to Carney: We Canadians get along with our neighbours.

You hate Trump? OK. You suffer from TDS. Trump is no psychopath.

Poilievre is no Trump. He is no Diefenbaker.

King was an insider - like Carney. Both know how to play the game.

Carney doesn't understand MAGA.

Disagree. Strongly Protestant Canadians have voted for a Franco Catholic candidate -and vice versa. We Canadians cross lines. ==== In 2008, how many blacks voted for Bush Jnr? In 1896, how many anglos voted for Laurier? Do the numbers.

Of course, I walk in the real world. Pay money to take the metro. I talk to myself.

When I speak to myself, in my own mind, I know that this is a person, me. When I chat with others on the Internet - they may be fake..

Point 2? Any Canadian politician - has more leverage - than Mark Carney. ===== Heck, Trump put a card in the hand of the PQ.

1. I made you Prime Minister. 2. America could not hope for a better neighbour.

Quebec voters do. They subsidize these CO2 emitting jets built - in Quebec - for rich people. ===== Hydro-Quebec CEO (even the Quebec PM) has several but they are classified differrently. Ford? I reckon that this is bad PR.

If the PQ drops the referendum, it wins.

I recently had the choice, same document from a public specialist: Public MRI - wait, we'll contact you to schedule Private MRI - about Cdn $800, next Monday.

Whatever their sexual orientation, or whether they use their left/right hand to write: Mackenzie King, like Mark Carney, are smart political operators. Poilievre is not.

I suspect that King was gay, like Duplessis.

Modern CBC nonsense -Mackenzie King was no fool.

Disagree, strongly. Unlike you Europeans/Americans, we Canadians have never had a civil war. We get along.

Taking sides - IMHO, Trudeau Snr understood this. Obama should have said: "My election is to put negros in their place. And their place is in America."
