Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-07 12:29:28Copy HTML I believe Saskatchewan has every mineral know to man and some more and is a very wealthy province which could join Alberta in dropping frog domination. I look for Saskatchewan to join Alberta and either become US states or form their own nation. WEXIT is the Western Canada secession movement. Northern BC and the Yukon may join them. |

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-07 02:14:00Copy HTML When it happens I'll also invite you to my wedding to Britney, we'll hold the reception on the Moon.

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-07 02:53:30Copy HTML I'll wait until I hear it on the BBC, YouTube isn't a reliable source of information, good for cute kittens though. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-07 04:51:27Copy HTML I don't see that happening, Grey. After this all shakes out it will be status-quo. The problem is that Canada has treated Western Canada like dirt for years. A lot of Westerners do not want the Canadian Maple Leaf for their symbol, either. They are very angry with Canada. |

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-08 09:53:25Copy HTML Trump has turned his attention to the colleges now, who are super left wing and stripped them of their government grants. He’s taken $400 million off Columbia university, a politically radical university which openly practices anti semitism. (Virtually every U S university does) Then there’s $9 billion off Harvard. Do you know 50% of universities now offer racially segregated dorms, following New York’s example. However, besides the more notable universities sweeping up these astronomical grants, 50% of universities nationwide have declared their closure. Harvard has predicted that 50% of all colleges across the US will close in five years time. Go woke go broke. |

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-08 10:16:31Copy HTML The US has discovered Chinese spying stations on Cuba. There are giant surveillance capabilities now in use. You do get the feeling the US knew of this long ago but Trump intends to take the credit for it. |

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-09 10:57:58Copy HTML American governance is a collaborative venture. To govern a president must work with Congress, heed the courts, and respect the authority of the states. Trump rejects all of this. He sees himself as a boss, whose will is law.

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-09 11:28:53Copy HTML It has an element of truth I'm sure. I get the impression that Trump would love to get rid of accepted rules and govern by decree and is testing how far he can push it, therein lies the danger. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-09 01:32:41Copy HTML Every president we've had since Washington has tested the boundaries of the powers of the Executive Branch. That is as it should be because it makes the other two Branches do their jobs. Some powers are clearly defined and others are very murky. It's up to the Legislative and Judicial Branches to clear the muck. Trump is simply testing loudly. I promise you, Mark, in November 2026 you can rejoice to your heart's content because one or both of the Houses of Congress will flip to the democrats and Trump will get nothing that he wants. It's the American way.

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-10 07:38:20Copy HTML Trump is very fond of telling us that Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if he had been President, as if his very presence on the world stage is enough to keep the peace. It's a pity that India and Pakistan don't feel the same. They never went to war when Biden was President. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Politics Date Posted:2025-05-10 09:11:05Copy HTML The history of the UK & Ireland
There was a divorce & the UK got custody of Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland turned out to be a difficult child.
The UK turned out to be an unfit father.
The relationship now is compared to King Charles & Prince Harry. |
