August1991

Betsy, wherever you were born, you have passion.

Because like many Third World countries, our elite is inter-mingled. ===== I'm like Trudeau Snr: I prefer counter-weights.

In 1984, who organised the campaign. In 1958, who organised the campaign.

You lost because of francophones, and urban women. This should have been a total defeat of the federal Liberals. ====== Urban single women vote NDP, or Liberal. People in Quebec look for an alternative.

Carney clearly married up.

Uh, they do. Federal Liberals do too. What happened to Ignatieff? Dion?

I met Ignatieff. He was a decent person. Carney? Never met the guy. I am told that he's difficult uh ambitious.

Carney has invited Charles III to open our parliament. ==== We are facing a guy like Trump who looks at real numbers. Carney, you care about symbols.

Mark Carney understands pension schemes. If I were Alberta's premier, I would read the riot act.

I wuz wrong. This guy Poilievre is like Nixon and Clinton - the Comeback Kid. ===== Churchill crossed the floor.

Betsy, Where in the Phillipines are you from? Visayas?

Note to Westerners: I know that this is very difficult for many of you to understand - you're clueless, can't speak French - the reason we still have a federal Liberal as PM, it is Donald Trump. Americans voted for Trump. Trump defends America! ====== Carney worked for banks in New York, he speaks French, he has a foreign wife We in the East vote for a guy like Carney. Carney defends modern Canada!

All true. (riding, not writing) Note Boulerice. And Chretien's riding in Shawinagan.

With Trudeau Jnr, we Canadians got along - until his wife left him.

I remember Chretien, and Martin - and even Trudeau Snr. We did not get along. ==== I suspect this guy Carney is similar.

At issue, is whether Canadians get along. ====== Mulroney and Harper made Canada work.

Even Putin and Trump don't sign the money in their countries. ===== I reckon that Canada is now officially third world.

Local work is about 5%. True, Poilievre could have done more for his local workers. === In his place, I would have done as Laurier, moved elsewhere. Poilievre should have run in western Ontario, Alberta. "I am unelectable in Ottawa - even its suburbs."

Apparently, he has a wife from New Zealand.

At the federal level, the BQ and the NDP are our best protection. ==== In Canada, we have provinces. PEI. And we have languages, a supposed Charter.

We know nothing about our minority PM - other than his signature on our money. We know nothing about his wife.

Apparently, some Canadians prefer to hire someone who worked for Goldman-Sachs. ==== I suspect that Canada is a work in progress.

Open your wallet. Take out a bill: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 Look at the name signed under the Governor. You are likely seeing the signature of our current federal PM.

Poilivere's loss? Strongly disagree. ====== Years ago a friend asked me to help his campaign. NDP, urban Ontario, provincial, I drove to Toronto, slept on the floor. I remember knocking on doors, talking to people.

Disagree. The government of Trudeau Jnr collapsed when his Finance Minister (Freeland) resigned. ===== No, the pro-federal Liberal polls went up when Trump called Canada a 51st state.
