WASHINGTON—In the yearbook photo of the 1981 graduating class at Westmount High School near Montreal, the left hand of a beaming Kamala Harris is resting on the right shoulder of Hugh Kwok.
When Kwok was asked in December for his thoughts on his old pal’s potential run, he answered a reporter’s question with a question.
“She’s running for president of what?” he asked in a tone that suggested he thought the answer might be the local Rotary Club.
Informed that it was the presidency of the United States, his voice rose. “No way. Oh my goodness. I can’t believe it,” he said. Then he decided he was supportive of this idea.
“We could use a good president,” he said. “She was a sweet, kind person. Very happy, very social. I’m just very excited for her, if that’s what she wants to do with her life.”.
This is at least the fourth consecutive presidential election in which a major candidate has had family ties to Canada. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who lost the Republican primary to Donald Trump in 2016, was born in Calgary. Former president Barack Obama has a brother-in-law from Burlington.
Eyal Dattel, a human resources director in Vancouver, said he recalls his drama classmate as “always a truly nice person” and now sees her as “an ideal candidate for a progressive future.” (snip...)
“In my opinion, she’d be a great president, because she’s fair,” he said.
John Dila, a Harris classmate who is now a Harris constituent as a businessman on the California startup scene, said the Westmount students of the day regularly discussed politics.
(Snip...)Dila, who praised Harris at length, said he thinks she understands policy issues better than American colleagues who have had narrower life experiences.

"We could use a good president"
"Dila, who praised Harris at length, said he thinks she understands policy issues better than American colleagues who have had narrower life experiences."
She has the Canadian Vote!
Her Grandfather from India was a diplomat , Both Immigrant parents (Student visas?, 7 or 8 years spent in Canada. Spent time going back to India to visit family, etc. (I think we have seen this before.)
So. Did her parents become American Citizen before she and her mother moved to Canada? Did they become Canadians after moving to Canada? Just a wondering. (Anyone know how to research the Canadian thing?
Cheering for someone not eligible is proof of ignorance.
The Ministry of Propaganda is going all in for Three Nationality Harris.
She could be Four Nationality Harris if she became a Canadian.
Another puff piece propping up Soros’ ignorant slut.
I hope she has protesters showing up to her rallies with signs:
“PRESIDENT OF WHAT?”
She’s another Deep State plant with sketchy origins. She’s the “anointed” one Part II, but she can’t cover up her lies as smoothly as The One. Her candidacy will eventually fail!
Certainly looks like it was a “diverse” school.
“She was a sweet, kind person. Very happy, very social. I’m just very excited for her,<<<<<<<<
Willy Brown said the same exact thing about “Heels up Harris”......VERY social.....
“Cheering for someone not eligible is proof of ignorance.”
Wow Great analysis! (These comments are her Canadian Classmates! )
S.A.M. This is probably not the thread you are looking for,
This is the thread you are looking for.

Its probably very attractive to the left to have someone who is not firmly based in US Culture run for president. The entire point is to break down our culture.
The article has more information.It does look diverse, but it wasn’t like it was Little Rock or Selma.
The question is, how do we share with the people around us that not being educated in the U.S. is not a good foundation for the presidency, especially since she seems to share the same Anti-American feelings as B.O?
It’s even more important to back up Precedent Obama with another violation of the Constitution to render it meaningless.
Montreal also dumps their raw sewage into the river to let the ocean take care of it.
But progressive? Yeah, baby.
And isn’t that the case! The more you repeat the violation the harder it becomes to enforce!
Great! I will be certain not to order Fish the next time I go to Montreal!
It’s okay, they catch them upstream from the sewage outflow and the current is strong. Just don’t order fish the next time you’re in Sorel, Trois-Rivieres etc.
So more generally, I had a quick look at her bio, she spent her high school years in Canada after her parents divorced, and returned to the USA for university.
To be honest, it probably wouldn’t make any difference, most of the Democratic politicians educated at big city U.S. high schools were probably exposed to ritual lib-left views on American politics, whereas in Montreal, Kamala Harris would have been exposed to almost no views on American politics, such courses as she might have taken would have concentrated mostly on Canadian politics and history. Our kids in Canada are not taught very much about America at all, they might know the basic facts about the division of powers and large-scale U.S. history but I only got into that sort of reading in university, those were subjects never really mentioned in high school.
So what I’m saying is, she won’t be any weaker than the field as a result, it’s probably a net positive to have avoided the liberal spin of American high school teachers.
She doesn’t sound like the worst candidate either, I would prefer her to Bernie or Beto if there had to be one who won. However, I suppose the more important question is, who would be easiest for Trump to beat? There again, would prefer Bernie or Beto.
As to the high school being diverse, hmm, maybe they put all the “students of color” on one page? Montreal in the 1980s was not as multicultural as it is nowadays, a lot of Haitians moved there after the 2010 disaster, but it is a largely francophone city with European immigrant groups like Greeks and Italians more than what you might expect to find in Toronto or Vancouver which have large Asian communities (meaning Chinese and Indo, mostly).
Westmount is a ritzy inside-the-city enclave (a separate municipality from Montreal) which is also the original home of Pierre Trudeau. Kamala Harris’s mother went there to work at some medical research place associated with the university and big hospitals. Montreal is a leading health research centre. I doubt that much of the outside-Westmount Canadian culture rubbed off on them, it tends to be one of those places where people believe the sun shines from their derrieres and all should bow down and worship.
For evidence, take our current glorious leader up here.
I mean, please, take him, before he does any more harm. You still have mental hospitals, right? Ours all closed down. For evidence, take our current parliament.
Let her run for office in Canada.
