What are your thoughts on Western Sepertism?
Take This Into Mind:
HOW TO STOP WESTERN ALIENATION
Fact: The Ottawa Liberals only won 14 of the 88 Western seats in the November 2000 election. But the Liberals are past masters in dealing with separatists. They are going to treat the west to some tough love just like they did in Quebec.
They could:
1. Build fountains in rivers.
2. Give HRDC grants and huge bank loans to struggling golf courses and hotels in Alberta.
3. Send Heritage Minister Sheila Copps as a special representative to teach those unworthy westerners about national parks, true Canadian heritage and tough love.
4. Send about a hundred trainloads of new refugee claimants to the West in order to impress those westerners that Canada is a bilingual multicultural country according to the Charter of Rights.
5. On the last day of the parliamentary session, just before the 3-month summer break, at about the time that MPs usually improve their pay and pensions, also proclaim a new improved and environmentally sensitive National Energy Program. Or better still, do it by order in council in the middle of the summer when everyone out west is busy on the farm. It will all be forgotten by late September when parliament resumes.
6. Improve the Access to Information Act so that those busy-body journalists cannot access anything the Liberals are doing. That way everything will be quiet and peaceful and no messy questions about HRDC or the missing billion in parliament.
7.Open at least ten more CBC radio stations in Alberta broadcasting in French.
8. Send Jane Stewart and her HRDC ministry to Calgary and when half the city of Calgary is employed at HRDC, all that western alienation will just disappear.
