Does it matter who is the spouse? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Fox_Carney BTW, a PPE from Oxford is also known - if you have one - as a "P*ss Poor Education".

In the choice of Carney, the federal Liberals are making a serious error. Like Justin Trudeau, they are choosing name/credentials over substance. ==== Pierre Trudeau, heck Wilfrid Laurier, understood this.

The last time the Finns fought was in 1940. (They sided with Nazi Germany. Whatever.) The Swedes? They got involved in the Thirty Years War. Since then, the Swedes are "neutral".

Strongly disagree Quebec dairy guys are like Brooklyn mafia. Trump knows this; he wants a better world.

I live in Montreal so I don't know what other people elsewhere in Canada think. With their choice of Carney, federal Liberals have not destroyed their party - but close.

Disagree. Air Canada and West Jet do not want anyone flying YUL YYZ. Landing rights, times? === Junkyard dogs.

Norwegians do not belong to the EU; unlike Albertans, Norwegians do not participate in equalization payments. (Indépendance selon Lévesque) Swedes belong to the EU -share payments - but the Swedes have their own currency. (Indépendance selon Parizeau)

Agreed. But why do we have zillions of people living abroad, in Embassies and Consulates? Why can't they work at home?

Cabotage. Exactly. If I were a Cdn PM, I would negotiate.

I have a strong admiration for politicians like Lester Pearson. He brought Pierre Trudeau - guys like Jean Chretien - into federal politics. Years ago, I recall crossing paths with Jean Marchand in a Quebec City parking mall. I recall walking by tall Marc Lalonde in a Toronto airport.

Carney is for he/she - Singh is for nous autres.

Mulroney reduced barriers, and apartheid. And we Canadians still get along.

Economies of scale? Buying power? Drugs? In some cases, it's better to be the small guy. ==== Zero-sum game thinking.

"Carney is here for himself." At least Ignatieff made an effort to be humble. ==== The federal Liberals are clueless.

Disagree. You guys won. Kennedy, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon. You won the Cold War. Reagan took credit.

I wish for such good news in eastern Europe. === Make no mistake: We Canadians get along.

Good news. ====== H-Q, Sabia, Churchill Falls Pierre Trudeau, Joey Smallwood Rene Leveque. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2146560/hyrdo-quebec-tnl-williams-sabia

Fair enough. I'm wrong. But Americans (Trump, Bush) seem to think they rule the world. Obama? Even he's an American - and he too wants to rule the world.

Art for Arts sake. Have you ever seen words around the the lion?

Frankly, I think that Trump does. Why can't United fly from YUL to YYZ? And why can't I buy awful Vermont cheese in Provigo?

For several years -since 2022, the US MSM narrative- has been entirely wrong about this war. Narrative? Wrong? In America - it's White Hat, Black Hat. "Gay/trans good, Russian/Chinese bad."

By ship?

BTW, both Napoleon and Hitler took power after European cataclysm. Hitler, after 1914. Napoleon, after 1789.

Napoleon wanted to change the world. Hitler too. Both were psychopaths who killed millions and lost because they invaded Russia .
