Since people who are not conservative are leaving the Catholic Church at a significant rate, it stands to reason that the people who are left will be more conservative.
I know one person who is a rabid defender of the Catholic church. The last time we talked, I was explaining to her that Jesus taught that you should love your enemies and not fight back. She said I was stupid and that I must have been reading a defective Bible.
Because he has the knowledge and experience to completely understand the final product. It used an approach that he hadn't thought of, that is better suited to the problem.
Canada got rid of the penny more than a decade ago, and it doesn't seem to have caused any serious problems. If you are paying cash, stores just round prices to the nearest five cents.
Aluminum requires vast amounts of electricity to process the bauxite ore. If I remember correctly, the factory in Alma, Quebec uses as much electricity as the entire city of Montreal. It has its own hydroelectric dam to supply this power.
How quickly is Trump going to be able to spin up a power plant to supply something like 400 megawatts of electricity?
Have you paid any attention to the political scene in the United States? There is no way that a billionaire could be convicted of any crime. In the rare event that they are charged, they can delay and obfuscate so that they die before any repercussions must be suffered.
I don't think that the truth of the two-tiered American justice system has ever been so clearly delineated.
It's a good thing that there is no history of soldiers obeying illegal orders and committing atrocities. Of course, there are plenty of people in the military who are quite happy obeying those orders because they agree with them.
I think you forgot the part where the Supreme Court declared that basically anything the president does is legal. Citizens United drove a stake through the heart of American democracy, and this latest ruling cut its head off.
Do you tell him that Trump has filed for bankruptcy six times with his companies? What does that say about his business acumen? How often has your uncle filed for bankruptcy?
Also, the term "pre-health science", that "she" used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don't even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.
Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:
Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.
We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.
And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never "uni" as some benighted countries call it).
No, Mao and Chiang Kai-Shek were tools of the international Jewish conspiracy. I think she said that Zhou En-Lai was the one who started helping them to destroy China by bringing them under the control of the Americans.
A Chinese person I know believes that Jews control the entire world. Even China was controlled by the Jews until Xi Jinping came along and tried to throw off the yoke. Apparently, the hooked nose is a dead giveaway for spotting Jews.
Fortunately, she is mostly isolated (by her own choice, she has a vehicle and plenty of time and money to socialize if she wants) aside from communicating online.
She also told me that the Mexican government had been taken over by Freemasons in the 1800s and become extremely hostile to the Catholic Church. Priests were killed or driven out of the country, monasteries and convents were closed, and Church property was forfeited to the state.
Actually, to my greatest astonishment, that last paragraph is completely true. Look up anti-clericalism in Mexico. The remnants of these anti-clerical laws were only removed from the Mexican constitution in 1992.
Of course, it's more than just losing their jobs. What employer would hire someone with a target on their back from the President of the United States?
