   I appreciate you being polite about this stuff. I hesitated to write   
   this note in the first place expecting nasty arguments. Just take from   
   it that my sources of information are different from yours and it's hard   
   to say which is right or if the correct answer lays between somewhere.   
      
   AT>How do you see Trump favoring the rich?   
      
   It was just reported that he has promissed big tax cuts to the rich   
   and that he expected to use the tariffs to pay for it.   
      
   AT>The prices on homes in Ontario are outrageous.   
      
   I Absolutely agree with that. It's ridiculous and went wild during   
   the early Covid years. I don't know what people will do if they   
   don't already own a house, how young people could buy their first   
   house. That said, I had to work 3 jobs when I bought my first house   
   at age 21 and my bank said my income would have to be triple what it   
   was to qualify for the mortgage, so I went to a mortgage broker and   
   paid a higher insterest rate.. and never missed a payment.   
      
   But prices can't stay this high or wages will catch up to match.   
   I bought my first place on a high too and, although prices didn't   
   drop, they didn't go up any more for the next 8 or so years either   
   so the incomes eventually caught up with the costs.   
      
   AT>I appreciate your reply, and you sound like a very sincere and polite   
   person,   
     >t I have to tell you that you're doing quite a bit of generalizing, which is   
     >e, but "better supported in general" how? We have people (in the states) who

     >, some with free food, and everyone in the states with low income has free   
   he   
     >h care.   
      
   My thinking may be a bit warped there since my experience and friends   
   whose situation I'm aware of are seniors, and you probably saw my   
   reply about gov't support for them in my other messages on here.   
      
   That said, with healthcare and dental being mostly paid for for any   
   low income person it makes a big difference. Amounts of welfare for   
   those not working are all over the place depending on things, and   
   I haven't heard numbers in years but it was always far lower for   
   single males than anyone else. Ages back, maybe  20 years ago, I   
   heard people complaining that a single mother with a child with   
   the subsidies she got was living the same as a working person making   
   $50,000 a year, and money went a lot further back then.   
      
   AT>Based on what you've said, I'm glad that Canada has so much stability in the   
     >cess of changing things like education. I've always looked up to Canadians.   
   B   
     >to shed some light on this subject: the extreme sex/gender indoctrination in

   w   
     >is president, the left controls public education one way or another.   
      
   That's interesting.. and things these days are screwed up in one place   
   or another. My niece is a teacher in younger grades, K to 3, and she's   
   been punched and hit with objects by 'problem' kids and the school   
   system does nothing about it other than tell her she CAN NOT ever grab   
   a kid to stop them. For a while one principal had removed all books   
   from the school library that had white people in them. I had to ask   
   her twice to clarify that, and that's correct. They only had books   
   there that had minority characters in them. Fortunately the next   
   principal a couple of years later backed off on that.   
      
   And I think I mentioned that they tell all these young kids about   
   sex and gay/trans couples but they don't talk about heterosexual   
   couples at all. I sure hope the pendulum swings back a ways in the   
   coming years, either that or I can just be happy I'm too old for   
   most of this stuff to effect my life, at least for long..   B)
