August1991

The Soviet Union and Maoist China were a threat. JFK, Nixon, guys in Vietnam defeated them. Reagan won.

New Cold War? Strongly disagree.

The PQ will get elected in 2026. And there will be a referendum in Alberta. ===== And many people (immigrants) who came to Ontario will think about how to help their kids move south. Ontario is Michigan - and Toronto is Detroit.

I was curious about this. Why do we have so much oil? (Quebec has easily available shale oil below the St. Lawrence River basin.) Several hundred million years ago, no animal could digest cellulose. There were ferns (trees) - ants can now eat such cellulose. We humans cannot extract food from trees.

True. With current oil extraction methods, the US is energy independent.

User, you make a very good point. I strongly disagree.

IMHO: Guys like Carney and Bernanke screwed it up. They're too uh bureaucratic. Greenspan - like Trudeau Snr - had panache.

True. ===== I remember this time - the fall 2008: Harper, Obama, Bush Jnr. We didn't know what would happen.

Good point. But you avoid my question. ==== After 1984, Pierre Trudeau retired and then stayed in Montreal. He could have lived elsewhere.

Pierre Trudeau was born and retired in Montreal. Canada. User, where were you born?

Let's see if it passes the Senate. I have not looked at the details - but I trust Johnson. ===== SALT. In Canada, this is major.

We foreigners have zillions of paper claims on your US real resources. Trump understands this. ===== If you are an American at home, don't worry. If you are an American abroad, you may have a problem.

Agreed. But you miss the larger picture.

Lol! And my posts - my monikor - remain visible for all. My father was born in Newfoundland.

There's your tell. User is a Chinese ai robot.

User, were you born in Simferopol? I think that you were.

The general reaction of different languages/cultures when first meeting: 1. They are clueless. 2. Wow! They do things differently. 3. You know what? Same difference. 4. Amazing! We're slow they're smart. 5. This is complicated.

User, your location matters. Have you ever been to Crimea?

User, Make no mistake. It is. Were you in Crimea?

Trump is correct. Don't get involved in foreign civil wars. Slavic wars in particular: They never forget.

MG, My point is that after 1815, Europe got along. Then, in the Summer 1914, it didn't. China? Chinese? I suspect that we Canadians have a better understanding of life.

Agreed. It's a minority. But Carney is a very competitive guy. He wants to win. And he will do whatever it requires to get a majority. (I reckon many women voted for him the same way people buy at Walmart/Costco. I want a smart guy on my side.)

Very strongly disagree. Ask any person alive today. Ask about their family history. The 30 years between 1914 and 1945 fundamentally changed their family history. ==== In Summer 1914, Europe had many reigning monarchs. By Summer 1945, Stalin and Truman had to meet in Potsdam since Berlin was destroyed.

Disagree. The period of 1914-1945 was horribly violent. The Cold War was peaceful. We got along. Europe had a structure of peace. Since 1991, we are in flux.

What is a good prompt? What is the training data?
