Don’t worry if you lived in Montreal you’d understand our accent in no time at all. Because of the way I was raised, I speak French in the more formal way you mentioned and French speakers from all over the world understand me but let me assure you that you’d find more hard to understand French accents in France than…

What you say is quite true and all the more reason for workers and the rest of the population to stop believing corporations who imply that the only way they can keep their job is to accept paltry salaries. Generations of bank tellers and telephone operators could have had decent salaries that allowed them to give…

You can star someone if you press on the number by the star or the space where the number would be.

True and another thing to keep in mind is the the thousands of people who are accidentally killed or injured with firearms not safely stored. People buy a gun to protect themselves from the very unlikely situation where a robber will be so brazen as to rob an occupied home. Since the gun has to be stored loaded and…

Anyone who doesn’t understand this only has to see how ATMs replaced bank tellers. In the 80s those machines were as expensive as the yearly salaries of 2 dozen tellers getting minimum wage.Add the building modifications, maintenance,security and replacement costs on top of having to convince customers to trust a…

I suspect it’s more shameful than delusions of being inclusive. A lot of my friends were shaken by the report about the abuses Native families were subjected to but it was as if this was shocking because it was the first they heard of it. All these years I’ve been telling them that hundreds of treaties- which didn’t…

No he wasn’t going to starve but residuals aren’t the same as getting a fresh paycheck and as we’ve seen with Cosby, you’re one scandal away from suddenly having no money to pay the multiple obligations that American stars seem to get saddled with the second they’re successful. It’s absolutely not the same as getting…

I have no doubt that Amy Schumer could be a great voice for this issue as humor often achieves what scolding can’t but that degree of involvement has to come from within because there really is a danger and possibly a cost in life and income and it’s for her to decide if it is worth the risk. I understand that causes…

I think it was a mistake for them to join the EU but mostly because previous governments wasted the opportunities the loans gave them. I wonder what will happen if they don't revert and get most of their debt forgiven.

No they don’t but they might have in the 19th century if New Mexico’s financial problems had been foisted on them right away once it joined the US. If this crises had happened fifty years from now when people feel more European than citizen of their own country, I don’t think there would be this much squabbling and…

I agree with that point of you but we talking about the sense of individual entitlement that breeds contempt of those you think are taking something from you to where you think you can hunt them at will. I wonder if slavery combined with a sort of colonization of many countries and nation building doesn’t make too…

We’re polluters all right but when you’re wrecking your own land you could argue it speaks more to lack of variety in opportunites than entitlement. Albertan farmers were always one crop away from disaster until the oil sands created another income option. Same could be said of Newfoundlanders with only seasonal…

Being the relative of someone who survived a shooting doesn't make her any relation of Schumer or mean she gets to shame anyone into getting involved in what could become a dangerous cause. If Clements and her relative want to be activists that's their business. If Schumer wanted to get involved I'm pretty sure she…

I know, right. Having media that mostly tries to see all sides of a problem without fanning the flames also helps. Anti-muslim feelings that might rise in the population for example, gets countered by showing the devasted parents of kids who left to join Isis. And since you’d have a hard time finding a news outlet who…

One could also argue that this is at least the second shooting in a movie theater so theater owners should have gotten called out or that with all the school shootings teacher’s union would be called to action. If the President can’t change anything asking a young woman to paint a target on her back for a cause you…

I honestly think Moore got it right in Bowling for Columbine and that being kept afraid is a big factor in gun violence in America because for most of my life in Canada getting a gun has been pretty easy and prevalent. We’re just are less likely to use them on each other.If you don’t think of others as a threat when…

I suppose Schumer’s job is already social commentary but I’d hate for someone to call me out to get involved in a quagmire with a bunch of gun-toting lunatics.

I’m sure he would especially if he was bailing us out. I'm not sure why people hate Merkel for her stand with Greece, her taxpayers and voters are handing over the lion's share of the bail out and she's supposed to play Donna Reed and serve coffe with a smile while that money goes down the drain and she's asked for…

Won’t change a thing. Something deep inside many people makes them believe that if you’re rich it’s because God is on your side. With that reasoning the bad things you do are acceptable or even right.

You can see my reply to others on this.We're comparing two actors at vastly different points in their lives and who also had vastly different means to develop their career after their landmark role. It's apples and oranges and though you may be pleased with Radcliffe's career, considering his starting point I'm…
