  1. I looked at that site, for ridings in Quebec. On island, the federal Liberals will keep some. Off island, I reckon the federal Liberals will lose allL Largely BQ and maybe PC I wonder about Papineau: BQ or LPC. The NPD will get nothing.
  2. The federal Left in Canada are seriously confused. Singh? That's identity politics. (Everyone knows how he won... ) Trudeau Jnr? Everyone knows now why he won. ===== Canada's Left needs someone. Mulcair? You speak French. You're Catholic. And you seem like a guy who wants to get along with others.
  3. Another international big ego who will never be Canada's PM.
  4. I understood what you posted. Most people in Greenland do not speak Danish well. And I think that many people in Greenland have no allegiance to Denmark, just as many people in our northern territories have no allegiance to Canada. Ontario is not Canada.
  5. Trump is correct. America could hold a referendum and buy Greenland. Heck, America with a referendum could buy our Northern Territories It bought Alaska - without a vote.
  6. IOW, 88% do not speak Danish. Inuit population?
  7. I completely disagree. === America won the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Now, it is in a different type of war against China.
  8. People in Greenland have no allegiance to Danmark. How many people in Greenlnd speak Danish?
  9. Trump is transactional, he understands the idea of positive-sum thinking. But nevertheless, given his age, he's a zero-sum thinker. ==== Putin is not a zero-sum thinker.
  10. I disagree. Trump is a showman; a buffoon. He is competitive. He wants to win. The American Left thinks that he insists on loyalty. They are wrong. Trump wants to win - and he thinks that if he wins, America wins.
  11. You miss the point of my OP. In 1911, some 100 years ago, what was the alternative.
  12. People in Quebec voted for Protestant Macdonald. People in Ontario voted for the Catholic Laurier. === In federal Canada,we have a history of voting across, uh, tribal lines. We get along.
  13. Agreed. But never under-estimate federal Liberal self-confidence.
  14. Democrat? Big D or small d. I am a Canadian citizen.
  15. Let me get back to the point of my OP. When Nixon got elected in 1968, he had been in the White House, lost an election. He knew the game. Like Trump in 2024.
  16. In Summer 2016, Barack Obama ordered the FBI to listen to telephone conversations of an opposing candidate. In Summer 1972, Richard Nixon asked the CIA to stop an FBI investigation of his campaign's amateur attempt to listen to an opposing candidate. I see a difference.
  17. Jagmeet Singh is NDP leader because some people vote by tribe. This is not Canada. The NDP will change their leader. Mark Carney is another Ignatieff. Arogant. Freeland? I think that she may be chosen, and then later win to be PM.
  18. The federal Liberals will get no seats west of Ontario. I reckon that they will get no ridings in the Maritimes and Nfld. 32, clean sweep for the Tories, Poileivre. The federal Liberals will get seats in urban Anglo-Quebec. And parts of Ontario.
  19. In 1984, they were reduced to 40 or so. I think that it will be fewer.
  20. The caucus and cabinet are confused and desperate. They will likely choose Carney.
  21. In Canada, our GG does not have the power to let people free. Can King Charles let people out of prison? ==== On a related note, I was recently called to court. The document referred to Charles III. IMHO, it should refer to the State of Quebec.
  22. IMHO, Nixon did nothing wrong except, as he said, he gave them a sword. Nixon f*ed up -at the thing he was supposed to be good at .
  23. Why does this power of pardon exist?
