August1991

I completely disagree. === America won the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Now, it is in a different type of war against China.

People in Greenland have no allegiance to Danmark. How many people in Greenlnd speak Danish?

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.

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.

You miss the point of my OP. In 1911, some 100 years ago, what was the alternative.

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.

Agreed. But never under-estimate federal Liberal self-confidence.

Democrat? Big D or small d. I am a Canadian citizen.

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.

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.

Hydro-electricity emits no CO2.

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.

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.

In 1984, they were reduced to 40 or so. I think that it will be fewer.

The caucus and cabinet are confused and desperate. They will likely choose Carney.

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.

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 .

Why does this power of pardon exist?

Strongly disagree.

Bump again.

According to Wikipedia, he was born in NWT. I have never met him. I know people who I trust that know him. He is arrogant. I wondered how he became Governor of the Bank of England. He married up. ====== The federal Liberal Party has a choice between Carney and Freedland.

Bad design: The points on the keyboard to indicate the F and J keys. The keyboard should have a touch to indicate F5 - with a physical bump - how to illuminate the keyboard. === Pros: This keyboard snaps into place. The way the pen sits is perfect. This is very well designed.

The keyboard, while connected loses contact with the screen. This is a known issue. I really liked the Surface Book 3 and its microSD slot. If the Surface 11 Pro screen were 1 inch larger, it would be better. ==== I have had no issues with the ARM cpu - except PDFGear which is slow.

In 1911, about 33 of 100 Canadians worked in food production.About 1/3 of Canadians worked to feed us. Nowadays, in 2025, only 2 Canadians among 100 work in food production. Since 1911, some 31 Canadians of 100 have lost their jobs - and now do other things In 2025, about 2 in 100 Canadians produce the food we eat. The milk, cheese. Sadly, the cheese. Abroad, the choice of cheese is great.

Ontario would be Michigan - and Toronto would be Detroit or at best Chicago. What holds Canada together?
