August1991 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Posted October 18, 2023 Our first Catholic federal PM was John Thompson - a Conservative. Turner, Clark - Anglophone yet Catholic Ontario's first PM was Roman Catholic? ==== I reckon that we do not vote by flag. We Canadians have two flags. Quote
August1991 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Posted October 18, 2023 The 1980 referendum did not pass - despite the logic. So close, in 1995. Yet, this other referendum did not pass. Why? Canada is a federal state that is sustainable - and peaceful. Why? Quote
August1991 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Posted October 18, 2023 Russians survive. We people in Canada get along. Why? Quote
eyeball Posted October 18, 2023 Report Posted October 18, 2023 We don't take ourselves to seriously. Even in Quebec, apparently. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

August1991 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) The people of Russia have survived the cold and several invasions. Which people? The Russian people alive today? In Canada. which people in Canada? ===== Margaret Atwood is simply a bad writer who wrote a foolish book about Canada. She's wrong about Canada - and she has no style.

Bulgarians, maybe. To survive. Russians lived under two centuries of Mongol rule. ==== There were two treaties in 1763: The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Hubertusburg was far more significant at the time. I have visited the palace, It changed my understanding of Canada. Edited October 21, 2023 by August1991 Quote

Michael Hardner Posted October 21, 2023 Report Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) There's a meme that says "If you're reading this in English thank a soldier" implying that military loss means the end of your culture. Well that doesn't explain Quebec. England forged Canada as a place where royal authority dictated inclusion of a French Catholic nation... and a place next door to the birthplace of modern democracy. All that, with a healthy economy, set up the political topology that is Canada. It will continue, once/if we adjust to the new public media sphere and world political economy. Easy Peasy ? Edited October 21, 2023 by Michael Hardner Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
