@realDonaldTrump@elonmusk . What do you think of turning Canada into a US Territory, like Puerto Rico? Holding off decision on statehood for some period of time like 10 or 20 years. This would allow for a more managed integration of Canada, and prevent an escalating trade war.
@happyerinb@sirDukeDevin@kylegriffin1 So people who are enjoying their retirements. Not working age people who have to worry about a decline in the CAD or whether their livelihood is at risk because of depression era level economic shock.
@PeterSjostedtH Collingwood probably did suffer from memory loss from his stroke in 1937, and essentially forgot his reading of Bradley. And either from reading Russell's Mysticism and Logic, or E.G. Spauling's "A Defense of Analysis", acquired a completely mistaken view about Bradley.
