Argus, Do you understand how difficult it is for a politician (Protestant, Anglo) to win seats in ridings (Catholic, French) - when facing a Catholic, French opponent? Harper managed to get many people (11 ridings of 68 - off the island) to vote for his party - despite being Anglo/Protestant. ==== Scheer is Catholic, BTW.

Jack Layton was a WASP, with a wobbly version of French. And with a connection to Quebec (he was born here, store). But Layton reminded me most as another version of Jean-Paul Harney. ==== True, Layton had the chance to be a federal NDP leader against Ignatieff and Harper in 2011, neither were Quebecers, Catholic nor Francophone. ====== We'll see what happens in October 2019. The Greens offer May: Agnostic/Anglo. The Tories offer Scheer: Catholic/Anglo. The Liberals offer Trudeau: Catholic/Franco. The NDP offer Singh: Sikh/Anglo. The BQ offers: je ne sais pas qui...

She was literate because she could take a boat to school. (I've been to the island; the school no longer exists.) ====== taxme, this world does not lack for children. We lack educated children. Canada lacks real and true conservative free enterprise leaders in government. Canadians do not need a big brother liberal socialist government, they need fiscally responsible politically incorrect politicians who believe in more freedom, less government, less taxes, and a lot less immigration. Take on those mentioned above and Canada can really see it's potential and become a truly great wealthy country. Government "IS" the problem, and never the solution. As I said many times before, Canada has been controlled by too many special interest minority groups who have done nothing for Canada but to make it un great. A country cannot expect to do well when it panders to a small minority who are totally clueless as to how to run a bloody thing. This world does not lack children alright. One just has to go to China, India, and Africa to see that. Way to many children are suffering because of the amount of children being brought into the world in those countries mentioned where those people cannot even afford to have one child. And then Canadians and other western countries are being forced by their politicians to help pay for and to try and keep them all alive and well. I say no more foreign aid to any country. Keep our tax dollars in Canada to try, and make Canada great, and look after our poor, and not bankrupt and poor. Canadians do not owe the rest of the world anything. They brought their problems on themselves, and they must be left to live with their problems and fix them. My opinion, of course. Works for me.

Queenmandy85 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I don't know if this has already mentioned, but Justin Trudeau is half Scottish, 1/4 Anglo-Irish, and 1/4 French. So, basically, he is a Scot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear to me as though there is a real and true lack of absence of educated and intelligent people in Canada, especially in the government, as to why there are so many reasons as to why Canada is in big time ridiculous trouble today. Sometimes uneducated people do have great and good and intelligent ideas and do have some fantastic answers. But they are purposely ignored by the so called "educated" ones. Canada was not built up by educated people. It was built up mostly by uneducated hard working settlers, and not university so called "educated" people. The people that are trying to make Canada great are the ones who did not go to a university. It's mostly the ones that have gone to university that are f'n everything up in Canada. The ignorance of some of these so called university "educated" people is really overwhelming and rather pathetic indeed. The sad part about it all is that those who like to consider themselves "educated"(no names will be mentioned)and who think that they are Gods gift to mankind, and who try to pretend that they have all the answers, are the ones that have been and still are f'n everything up. I wonder as to who they may be? Just wondering. There are many people who go to a university, and end up coming out university more stupid then when they went in. Just saying. Spell and gramner check please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus, Disagree. Strongly. What makes Canada remarkable is that people who perceive themselves as a minority, given the choice, nevertheless choose someone else. ==== Tribal? What defines a tribe? Left-handed people? Language? Religion? Eye-colour? ========= As I argue in my OP, what makes Canada remarkable/civilized is that for centuries, left-handed people have been willing to vote for a right-handed candidate even given the choice of a left-handed candidate.

Stop, the Queen is a figurehead and Canada has no responsibilities to Great Britain apart from membership in the Commonwealth and upholding the very good and adaptive parliamentary democracy that was adopted by Canada minus the House of Lords and a few quirks. The Governor General is head of state, though we retain the Queen and monarch as a cultural tradition, a powerful one. The GG can dissolve parliament, call and election, and give signature to constitutional changes and legislation. The military is answerable to the people.

I don’t know what happened to you that makes you so bitter towards Canada. It’s unusual. If it’s along the lines of a military service related depression or PTSD, I recommend that you look at the US veteran suicide rate. It’s in the thousands and very alarming. Canadian soldiers also suffer. Military life, especially for those who have done tours, takes its toll.

I don't complain, the Canadian Forces treated me very well, it's a joke when it comes to combat power, but it's honestly very cushy in terms of lifestyle. I never suffered any injury to speak of, I was lucky, I feel bad for the guys who were injured for Canada, I wish I could help them, but there's no cure for being duped by Canada. In terms of suicide, I'll wait until I get some terminal disease before I put a bullet in my head, I'm not afraid to do it, but there's no reason to do it until you get the throat cancer or whatever.
