Yeah it's allegedly a hot topic up here right now. Though I don't see why or among what portion of the population. Maybe just because it's a hot topic elsewhere. |

What's the general perception of Trudeau? From reading the press, I get the impression he's generally liked. That true? |

I would say so. However, at present there is really no alternative in Ottawa - both opposition parties are in disarray following the last federal election. in any case I do not think that Americans can get their head around the fact that politics in Canada is very much at the provincial level and as a result regional in character. |

Kevin O'Leary is an ass. He is also a media whore. Besides that he can't speak French. |

A Canadian Trump? A Canadian Trump? A Canadian Trump? Is French a required language in Canada? I know the country is officially bilingual, but is French taught in schools, etc? |

Generally speaking yes, French is required curriculum although it varies from province to province. Here in Alberta French is a compulsory subject from grades 4 to 9. Grades 10 to 12 it is an option. There are also many French immersion public and Catholic schools available to which parents can choose to send their children from grades 1 to grade 12. There are pros and cons to this approach. Personally I feel that unless French is spoken at home and can be as such reinforced, French immersion from grade 1 is not a good choice. |

Interesting... just as the US media elites are proclaiming Trudeau as the anti-Trump and the Savior of Western Democracy, he seems to be losing some of his luster in Canada. And yes, Kevin O'Leary is a complete ass. What an obnoxious douchebag. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

yeah, I am very disappointed about Trudeau's inglorious retreat from electoral reform. Actually not disappointed, right pissed off. |

I like Trudeau. He's not his dad, but he'll do. His dad would've skewered poor Trump in those meetings 2 weeks ago ... He was an oracular genius. I can hardly wait for the end of May .. good stuff to come for investors and those waiting for legalization of certain medicinal remedies .

What sort of electoral reform are you (or the Canadians who support Trudeau in general) expecting? If it's too complicated to explain, would you please point me to an article or webpage that describes the desired reform? Thanks in advance. |
