I know. I'm a catholic ethnically-Irish guy (half at least) from Massachusetts. I've read at least 8 books on Kennedy.

I don't think it was the Communism thing is what I'm saying. Dulles was instrumental along with Kermit Roosevelt in toppling the Iranian Democracy. I think they just thought they could do whatever they wanted.

Iran was the "we can do this in any country we want!"
Cuba was the "no you ****ing can't"

I think they saw Cuba has the woman they couldn't have and took out anyone they thought would get in the way.

That's no indication. IIRC Biden told Obama not to do the SEAL strike on Bin Laden. Presidents do what they want.

Jon Stewart is our best American.

I actually get a feeling of patriotic pride when I read about what he's doing and how hard he fights for people.

He's my hero.

We actually had a contest to decide who the greatest Canadian was. I don't remember voting in this poll. I agree with #1. I'd put Banting and Bell #2 and 3 though.

Has this been done in the states before? I'm curious.

Terry Fox was pretty rad.

Yes he was. ESPN did one of those 30 for 30 shows on him. Steve Nash, the basketball player, narrated the story. To run a marathon every day with 1.5 legs, that's incredible.

I'm beginning to think that too. He's sure done a lot more than just the Daily Show.

The work he's done for vets and first responders is inspiring.

I heard he had become an advocate for more funding to support vets and first responders. We need to do more to support our vets and first responders in Canada. Nurses, especially, are leaving the profession in droves. Towns are putting full page newspaper ads to get doctors to come to them.

What's really good about Stewart is that he is the one person that seems to be able to hold the Senate accountable. I bet he isn't on Mitch McConnell's Christmas list. :laughing:

He knows how to give people sh*t, that's for sure.
