When you're making shit up, and claiming somebody else thinks, feels, or said it.
Recognized under what pretenses? A Right to exist? No other nation has a Right to exist.
Precisely. Israel is the first (and to the best of my knowledge, only) nation-state whose existence was voted on by the only body with an claim, however weak, to represent the whole species. . . the UN General Assembly.
If Western Canada splits are we violating Canada's Rights to exist or validating our Rights to exist??
I just hope they treat you like we treated the Confederacy.
