Did Provincial regs end? Nothing but redundancy changed and you still never answered what would be different if the Libs carried out the gateway plan instead of Harper?
The easily quashed omnibus bills that were election promises to appease reform weirdos?
There has always been, and there will always be, federal involvement in the environment.
No omnibus bills have been quashed (or altered for that matter) while Harper's had majority.

Actually, red is the colour of a living maple leaf too - once all the chlorophyll (the stuff that makes it green) is gone. Quite appropriate for Harper disregard for anything environmental don'cha think?
I voted for my local MP not Harper.
It's good to know the Lieberal supporters are so loving to their fellow man.
Love is a two way street. Some folk are smart enough to give as good as they get
LOL!!
And you wonder why we all keep guns....
Much faster way to take your nuts off ;-)
None of the bills are quashed because they have a majority and didn't take any of the recommendations.
Bummer eh. Lots of the bundled bills no longer exist after challenged through court, never materialized or were nothing to fear. Lots are bills were written to fail. Role play to appease.
I think a couple years ago, there was a motion to discuss every item in the budget bill and they had a sleep over party.
Disrespectful to who? Maple trees? Is that what you mean by poor taste? I get it now. Disrespecting the flag is like putting corn syrup on your pancakes.
I always told we became a nation in 1867 and in BC when we got that damn train Macdonald promised. I'd rather it be about trains that senseless waste of human life, the first world war. It wasn't a war fought for noble purposes and it was characterized by pointless slaughter, more so than most wars.
I basically agree with your assessment of the Great War...........Europe fell into a senseless slaughter, and we were pulled in simply because of our lack of status as anything but a colony of Britain.
Which does not change the fact that we quickly became a force in the war, we punched well above our weight. We became increasingly valued by the Brits, and by the end of the war were serving as a unified Canadian Army, instead of simply a branch of Britain's military. It is no accident that by the mid 1920s complete Parliamentary equality of authority with Britain was in the works.
While I sympathize with your preference that our nationality be built on a railroad instead of a huge heap of dead bodies, the railroad was purely a domestic achievement that demonstrated nothing to the world at large, and contributed to our union, not our independence.
