Welcome to the forums Nibbles19. A word of advice though: not a good plan to start the same thread in two different forums. You're unlikely to get any better response, and it's likely to draw a mild rebuke from the moderators. At least, it'll be mild the first time... :wink:

What is popular is not always right.
For example, Canadians like Medicare, and the right doesn't.
What is right is not always popular.
For example, Harper didn't win a majority.
