And what is wrong is the post-Christian morality imposed by the first Trudeau regime: non-enforcement of abortion laws plus no-fault divorce. As a result Canada went from being among the youngest countries, if not the youngest country, in the West, to another geriatric basket case*, where waves of new immigrants replace the declining ranks of earlier immigrants and their descendants. Canadians are like all the other European peoples, disposable and easily replaced units of economic production. Pathetic, really. <br /><br />*The term basket case derives from the practice at some times and in some places (e.g., ancient Egypt) of burying the dead in a basket.

To say absolutely nothing of any meaningful content, whilst illustrating Presentation Skills quite brilliantly, was something I have never seen before presented in this way. I suspect this man is making a fortune teaching politicians et al how to speak with a live audience. Some people have most of these skills naturally - others go into a panic state when asked to speak - to give a speech - but if worked on by an intensive course in Presentation Techniques - they can improve dramatically - even if naturally very introverted. This is a good thing - because many introverts who study a lot when alone - have the best ideas - but are completely useless at communicating them.<br /><br />Re European extinction - in my experience - most people - despite their cultural upbringing - wherever they are in the world exhibit the same diverse ranges of human personality and performance. We are all a bit tribal - but most of the tribes are pretty much the same. Same emotions - same capabilities - similar percentage of born psychos.<br /><br />And no I do not want 100 Million people moving to the UK. We are full...Go to Canada instead -you guys have got loads of space as have the Russians..The only reason you want to come here - is because us British people are the nicest. I know our government and politicians are rubbish - but so are yours. Have you any ideas how to improve matters?<br /><br />Tony<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
