  1. Interesting Lance. The murders committed across the country and outright genocide brought to northern England by the Normans, are glossed over in history, if history is taught at all. Because the Normans kept their base of interest in France, post-invasion England found herself more directly involved in European conflicts.
    Invasions have consequences beyond being forced to learn the conquerors language.

  2. With the serious issues around the globe and the how our countries are being managed on both sides of the border from health care and on to immigration and security what do we have? In the US we have wall to wall jackasses in the media and debate moderators talking about anything but. It’s all about national inquirer type banter about what Trump said fished from over a decade ago and threats of countering with Bill Clinton’s well known sleazy behaviour while sitting in the Oval Office. Sad to say where this will end but it can’t be good for the country we call the leader of the free world.
    We are not home free here, we have a weak leader who himself needs to be led. We have corruption in the Ontario government, badly in debt and still spending. We all need to wake up and stop being led by agenda driven media and pollsters who ultimately are interfering with our democratic process. People are taking their information and basing their decisions on it.

  3. The election success of Turdeau and the apparent failures of Sanders and Trump are not validations of their political positions as much as the deep disquiet in the middle class. These people are starting to actually question their governments ability to led or in essence save them.
    Since Canada is already a left wing monopoly (the Harper years were so disappointing) my biggest concern is the implosion of the GOP. I have kept waiting for a glimmer of a Trump ‘strategy’ when in effect there is none. The guy is a blowhard with little understanding of the real issues. The ‘middle class disquiet’ has simply carried him along. If only Mitt Romney had a tad of the aggressiveness that Trump has he would have been POTUS. Certainly the most qualified candidate in decades. Why people like Romney and Harper cannot explain conservative thought to the masses is a critical failure. The CPC in Canada is crumbling just as the GOP is/will in the USA.
    Clinton will be elected and heaven help the world.

  4. Pre debate polling: not good. Post debate from Dilbert. No warm and fuzzies at this front but a good read and yes some hope:
    “The best quotable moments from the debate are pro-Trump. His comment about putting Clinton in jail has that marvelous visual persuasion quality about it, and it was the laugh of the night, which means it will be repeated endlessly. He also looked like he meant it.”
    Clinton’s Abe Lincoln defense for two-faced politicking failed as hard as anything can fail. Mrs. Clinton, I knew Abe Lincoln, and you’re no Abe Lincoln. You know that was in your head. Or it will be.”
    Most of the rest was policy stuff that no one understands or cares about. We don’t know how to fix Obamacare or what to do with TPP. But by acting competent on these and other policy issues, Trump gains more than Clinton in persuasion.”
    His Swiss notes are very interesting and I think instructive.

  6. The Access Hollywood Production crew that Produced (edited) the Trump Video ( not a video, a composite) are hearing footsteps… NBC fires Billy Bob, because they hope to escape liability for leaking privileged speech… Trump will win Millions if not Billions… They “knew” what they were doing was NOT Journalism.
    The Media have forgotten what happened to 2008 Dem ABC Moderator Obrian… Fired
    The 2012 CNN Candy Ass who scripted Mitt the twit…. Fired
    Now they have put CNN & ABC together in a “gotta” debate..Welcome to the cesspool….

  7. We want change, we demand change!
    OK but it might just be a little bit tougher short term, you might have to rethink some things and deal with reality.
    The devil we know, the devil we know! No worries as long as my Congressional seat is safe.
    Baaaah. Or is it just jump into the nice warm pot? Let’s turn up the heat a little more; honest, you’ll be more comfortable. We know what’s best.

  8. The MSNBC Mole in FOX, besides Kelly
    Geraldo Rivera (MSNBC) was in a waste land after his Clinton defense in the 90’s, Fox & Trump lifted him up got him on his feet.. No good deed goes unpunished
    Is NBC still paying Geraldo Rivera
    Is Trump holding Paper (mortgage) on the “Grand Central” VIP Apartments.. eh Cooper?
