August1991 Posted Sunday at 05:27 AM Report Posted Sunday at 05:27 AM Many EnglishCanadians -women in particular- are voting anti-Trump, anti-American. The federal Liberals are using this nationalistic card - "the federal Liberals are Canada". Carney may win with it. With Singh, the NDP cannot play the nationalist card. === The Bloc? I fear this kind of politics. Quote

And the metis rebellion. Do you know nothing of history? Quote (In 1837 there were minor fights in Ontario, more serious in Lower Canada - but nothing like the Americans 1861. Riel?) Europe? Europeans? When you consider the scale of the population, they were every bit as big. Quote We Canadians have a civilised society: a federal state with two federal official languages, and no official cultural. How civilized is a society that lets murderers out the day they're caught on parole? How civilized is a country that constantly votes in corrupt gov'ts that steal from the people and the poor to line their own pockets when they leave office? How civilized are we when a group of dumbass french people steal money from the rest of the country for years and have nothing but hatred for that country as a reasult of that generosity? How are you defining 'Civilized'? Quote Imagine. People can't afford homes. Or food. They feel they have no future. We are so weak even our allies attack us. Our population is so stupid that they keep voting for corruption. And the french are so dumb they live in a seperatist province and try to claim we all get along. 🙄🙄🙄 We do not get along. We are getting along less and less. Hopefully when we break up it'll be more peaceful, but we don't get along and that will never change while easterners like you pretend otherwise. Quote

The first premier of Ontario was a Roman Catholic: In the 1890s, our first federal Roman Catholic Prime Minister was a Conservative: John Thompson Our first federal francophone PM was Wilfrid Laurier. People across Canada voted for him in 1896. He was Catholic. He is on our five dollar bill. 1 Quote

There are no religious parties and the closest thing we've got to a language party only runs in one province Quote The first premier of Ontario was a Roman Catholic: In the 1890s, our first federal Roman Catholic Prime Minister was a Conservative: John Thompson Our first federal francophone PM was Wilfrid Laurier. People across Canada voted for him in 1896. He was Catholic. He is on our five dollar bill. I'm not interested in your weird thoughts on your imaginary friend. If you want to have some sort of religious belief you go right ahead but it's got nothing to do with Canada or it's politics. One more thing we don't get along over i guess. Quote

Compared to the US Civil War, the Riel Rebellion was nothing. The Plains of Abraham was a minor, irrelevant battle in a much larger war between Prussia and Austria. To understand, Margaret Thatcher wisely said that England has always sided with the weaker power in Europe. In the 1700s, it was Prussia. Prussia defeated Austria. England got Canada. Quote
myata Posted Sunday at 07:36 AM Report Posted Sunday at 07:36 AM No such luck: it's maple maga that is throwing around lies, division and hatred here, in Canada. Yes, they are doing it by choice, consciously and deliberately. No: nobody made them follow a pathological liar, convicted rapist and scoundrel, also a wannabe dictator. No, no way and no such luck: they chose it, freely and consciously having other options and choices. And they only have to carry full responsibility for their choices. This is how this reality works.

Just as Trump divided Americans to get votes, the federal Liberals are doing exactly the same to divide us and get votes. Vote Liberal to protect us against the nasty Americans! Quote

August1991 Posted Sunday at 08:42 AM Author Report Posted Sunday at 08:42 AM At the time, Turner opposed free trade with Americans - he wanted barriers as Trump proposes now. Irony. ===== At issue however is "nationalism". Mulroney was correct. He is a Canadian. 1 Quote
