"De Almighty says to quit changin' de subject and answer de focking question."
--Stephen, Braveheart
Man looks up on a yellow sky
And the rain turns to rust in his eye
Rumours of his health are lies
Old England is dying
His clothes are dirty shade of blue
And his ancient shoes worn through
He steals from me and he lies to you
Old England is dying
Still he sings an empire song
And still he keeps his navy strong
And he sticks his flag where it ill belongs
Old England is dying
You're asking what makes me sigh now
What it is makes me shudder so
Well I just freeze in the wind
And I'm numb from the pummeling of the snow
That falls from high in yellow skies
Where the well-loved flag of England flies
Where the homes are warm and mothers sigh
Where comedians laugh and babies cry
Where criminals are televised
Politicians fraternize
Journalists are dignified
And everyone is civilised
And children stare with heroin eyes, heroin eyes, heroin eyes
Old England!
Evening has fallen
The swans are singing
The last of Sundays bells is ringing
The wind in the trees is sighing
And old England is dying

LOL - If de Almighty don't care for de answer he should quit changin' de focking question
Have him call me, i'll sort him out. I've been meaning to talk to him anyway, i'm a little sick of his holier-than-tho attitude.Joking aside you must remember we are confederation, not a republic like the states. Basically canada is in essence the european union, seperate entities agreeing to a central power for things like money and travel and work without restrictions and such - although qualifications may differ province to province. Even our constitution gives equal weight to the provincial gov'ts as the federal. About the only difference is that each province is not sovereign.
So a referrendum on changing those powers is actually a referendum on our treaty and our alliances
Whenever we have a referendum to change the constitution it's a modification to the treaty that binds the provinces. And a vote on separation is really the same thing as the vote to leave the eu.And we've done both of those more than once, and it has been an acrimonious process on occasion, sometimes successful and sometimes not. There's been regrets after and issues have been revisited, etc.
So we do get what the UK is gong through. This is all very similar and familiar. Do we want someone in quebec making all our decisions for us here on the west coast? Does quebec want english canada to tell it what it can do? Are we ok with having different laws etc. "immigration', jobs, economy, refugees, yeah we get ALL that.
And we do vote on it. To be honest - i'm a little surprised the US has never done that more. The mechanisms are in place.
Demented Remainer Steve Bray, who has spent the last six years campaigning against Brexit outside Parliament - yet still gets paid, so who pays him? - has been booted out of a BBC debate.
Arch-Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg MP responded by making a very good point...
