The lack of historical knowledge amazes me! A couple of links for a little historical enlightenment Bill! Sweden or Norway...give me a break! In the Socialist paradise of Venezuela, the UN Human Rights commission just released some estimates on how many Venezuelans have been "extra judiciously" killed under Maduro in the last few years...the number is estimated at 5,000-7,000, with an estimated 4,000,000 +- escaping to other countries. Another benevolent Socialist leader and how many died and/or are imprisoned in Nicaragua trying to break the yoke of Socialism there? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...a-madhouse.htmlhttps://historyofrussia.org/stalin-killed-how-many-people/

I didn't refer to the presidents by name, others did: Slick Willie, Bush, Obama and Trump. All pulled the strings of a mixed, private-public economy, head office Washington.
Americans adhere to the same social comity as the Chinese have with their command economy, waiving economic and political liberty for a better standard of living.
Only difference is the gap widens between commoners and the one per cent while China has lifted hundreds of millions from poverty.
You may have forgotten that Republican and Democratic presidents precipitated massive debt and 2008 by removing regulations.

You've got to be kidding, King! Republican presidents generally back off the regulatory gas peddle, Democrats generally step on it. There is a difference. As Trump and the American people are finding out there is a vast cabal based in Washington comprised of members of both parties dedicated to ensuring the overreach of government in an effort to build their own power base and line their own pockets. Hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty in China specifically because of China's limited (and temporary) abandonment of socialist principles. And, as they revert to form, problems will follow....they already are. Are you anxious for the state to start judging, and punishing you, if you don't meet their standards of social behavior ie are you a good citizen in the government's view? Americans adhere to the same social comity as the Chinese?? Really??? Please give me some examples. And if you think the gap with the 1% is widening in America.....go have a good look at China. Finally, Republican presidents didn't precipitate the recession of 2008....that is squarely on Bill Clinton and his race politics. Governments role should be regulatory. For the common good and with common sense. Clinton deregulated the mortgage industry specifically to put low income people (read black) into home ownership with mortgages they were never going to be able to afford. Do we have to re-hash this one every time?

Halifax is a pleasant city with hunting and fishing close and plentiful. It makes a special effort to welcome immigrants, like the rest of Canada, leading the world in that respect. Generations of entrepreneurial and hard-working Lebanese and now Syrians have made Arabic its second language.

Don't know a whole lot of the new green, craig. I do know the old measures of economic greatness were steel production and technology. China leads in steel and wireless technology and making a lot of new friends with trade diplomacy. The US has turned against its allies, no longer considered trustworthy.
