The tax on digital media was to help finance Canadian content and pay our artists, this would be the opposite of what the US wanted since it prevents them from swamping our country with their content.

You may be aware of things I’m not but unless I’m mistaken the majority of economic problems faced under Nixon were caused by the oil embargo put in place by Arab countries to retaliate for support of Israel. That didn’t only affect the US’s economy but caused pretty much a worldwide recession and energy crises. I…

Yes, he did. This would have dragged on for years and the scandal was punishment enough considering that Nixon had been competent as President over all but was reviled until he died.

Upthread JudasIscaredycat put a link about the President’s pardon and it seems unlimited by the person being or not being charged with anything. You description  of sweeping, all-inclusive seems to apply.

Yes! He’s moving to another denomination apparently.

Don’t forget losing her mother when she was a little girl.

I wasn’t thinking of millenials, that group didn’t turn out to vote so much but those 35 to 55 sure did.

I think there was some of that and a lot of reflecting on the long path to here. It seems like a trailblazer telling others what to expect and not be thrown by.

Well, they just announced tour dates for Dylan in the UK for 2017. I suppose he could be senile just the same, but if he can perform, he could go get his prize.

Hillary hasn’t been charged with anything so a pardon would be out of line, no?

A civil rights activist over one who designed airplanes? Absolutely.

True, about the Heritage Minutes but then again, they were produced based on real life so nominations influenced by that wouldn’t be far off the mark.

You’re quite right since it seemed she was set to perform before he was selected. Still,I can’t blame her for having more class than he does.

I should hope so. Remember when people were asked to name a ship in the UK and the winning name was completely ridiculous (McBoatyface)?

No, it doesn’t. If it was up to your politicians, Canada would have dismantled most of its social safety net to make it as inefficient as the American one, but, they couldn’t even affect our policies much less our laws.

And yet she was among the leading candidates submitted by ordinary people for the honor. Your lack of knowledge about her doesn’t mean we’re all in the same boat. Aside from her, Saint Jean is the only one I really knew of mostly because I’m in Quebec and yet she is definitely in Therese Casgrain’s shadow even here.

I don’t even think they’d want to. Conservatives aren’t nearly the creeps that Republicans are.

They did but that’s because we were still voting on which woman should be on our money. She was chosen among submissions from the public so it’s a longer process.

You know, to a Canadian, it feels as though some Americans don’t know their country. They sound like the citizens of some tiny hole in the wall with no past and present of greatness.

Lol, all kidding aside she won by popularity not by a politician’s choice.
