Canada 1896: Clifford Sifton

[August1991]

Americans don't know about this.

In 1896, we had a federal election. The federal Liberals were elected.

And then, around the federal cabinet table, there was only one single guy with a francophone name: Laurier.

All the others were Protestant, Anglo. including a guy named Sifton.

This federal 1896 election changed Canada .

How did it change Canada and what's the relevance to US Federal Politics?

You said it changed Canada. How?

You posted in this forum about Canada. Why?

IMHO, Clifford Sifton changed Canada.

robosmith, you are wrong about Canada

Rather than allowing people to move West, Sifton wanted new people. Laurier agreed.

Many people moved south - in New England, many have a French family name.

Without Sifton and Laurier, Western Canada could have been a different country

See what I mean about people who don't even know how to argue?
(For the uneducated, "Argue" means rationally discuss a subject, not yell at each other. Mom & Dad weren't arguing they were verbally fighting)

How did it affect Canada?
because in my opinion it did

What's it got to do with US Politics?
- can't answer at all  because it doesn't... it belongs in Canada/US relatioms

Trump paraphrased Hitler in a public speech and when called out, doubled down and used them again
- but what about Hunter Biden's laptop, Hillary's emails, it was about immigrants not Jews etc.

Come on let's step it up around here

Herbie,

Disagree.

Robosmith,

I also disagree with you. You are wrong.

You asked above how the 1896 election changed Canada. In 1896, federal Canada changed: with Sifton, people could immigrate.

Robosmith is on to me.

I think literally everyone is confused by your steam-of-consciousness word salads. You take the time to post. It wouldn't take much more time to post thoughts that are sufficiently complete to convey a clear point.

I am human, a real person.

But fair enough, I should think before posting. IMHO, this forum is like a bar. I can drink, talk and I'm not near a vehicle.

Robosmith posts as if Wikipedia responded to me.

Let's invert that. Imagine if your opening post was constructed with all the elements necessary to understand whatever it is you wanted to talk about? 

There really shouldn't be a need to ask basic questions about what you intend to communicate. That should be clear, no?

GH9dad,

You are halucinating!

Gates, Zuckerburg have a $1 billion to throw a way. This means 10,000 guys will get $100,000 each.

And all the guys have to do is read this forum, and post.

Oh, really? You didn't appreciate that nonsensical string on non-sequiturs with no clear meaning?

Compare that to your original post and understand why someone would have to ask you basic questions to even potentially engage.

On second thought, I disagree. Hodad, 

I reckon that Zuckerburg would spend his money in Pennsylvania instead.
