FIFY
Nothing personal, but, I have never understood the attraction of Leonard Cohen. I put him right up there with Bob Dylan. Probably the most over rated duo of our times. JMHO.
I think this is the third article I’ve read on this today. Who is this cretin actress? I know they care because she’s a lesbian, but is that the only reason?
I’d add X-Men to the list and then you are right. That X-Men movie made well over 400K or so. I’d hardly say that wasn’t a hit.
She had a very minor part in that movie and contributed nothing to its success.
The point that I was trying to make is that even though you can say the same thing about big urban areas like Toronto or Vancouver or most of the province of Quebec, the Maritimes tends to be a lot like the very blue Democrat areas of the United States regarding having big government programs and spending and being very anti-conservative in their thinking. They depend a great deal on transfer payments from the more wealthier provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan to pay for their very liberal ways. This is the sort of thinking/worldview that this young lady tried (unsuccessfully, of course) to impose on Senator Cruz.
Or Vancouver?
“PLEASE do not lump all Canadians in with this airhead. We’re sorry for Beiber, Neil Young, Michael J. Fox, etc, etc. Give us a break this time. :)”
I’m so glad to see that Gordon Lightfoot wasn’t in your “sorry list”. I have loved his music for 40 years. I really don’t want to know his politics.
I put him right up there with Bob Dylan too. LOL
Different strokes for different folks, I guess ;-)
Me neither.....Gord’s Gold is the shiznit
Have seen him live several times, that’s one of my favorites. Thanks ;-)
Ok, I’m with you. I knew people in Alberta aren’t that hot on funding the Canadian welfare state, but didn’t know the Maritimers were so left-wing. Maybe it’s the tides there?
