Speaking of following your own words, you and the other on board Tory Spinmeisters still haven't explained Mr. Harpers and his 'Alberta colleague's'
deafening silence when the Bush Administration closed the borders to the Canadian LAAS program, bankrupting at least three Canadian manufacturing firms.....
Still waiting for an answer, CM , Colpy, Boomer et all....Crickets crickets crickets....:lol:
Never heard of it so it couldn't be very important.
1. Secession is not illegal in America in the sense that it has never been legally tried. The US Civil War started when South Carolina opened fire first. I'm not necessarily saying the US would permit a legal secession if it was tried. They seem incapable of resolving anything without a gun. But legal secession has never been tried because the South tried guns instead.
2. Texas secession had little to do with starting the Civil War. Texas has it right in their agreement to join the US that it is allowed to secede.
Back to Canada. IMO Trudeau showed himself to be possessed of poor national judgment when he tried the marijuana issue as an opening shot. I agree with him on the actual issue of legalizing mj, but to stake a prime ministership on it by making it part of his opening national shots was immature. As much as I thought I would never hear myself say it, the federal NDP will get some of my attention unless things change. The conservatives are too American and too close to business to be entrusted with the governance of people, and they've been in power too long. The Liberals are too dilettante. We have wandered far enough right - it is time to wander back left.
This anti-French rhetoric sounds like pandering to Yanks. America got its **** in a knot when France quite properly told the US "no" after 9-11. Many others told the US "no" at the same time including Canada.
Don't think Quebeckers can fight? Try taking on the Van Doos.
