Arteacher - I obviously am not a student of Canadian politics, and having said that, your country baffles me. Banning handguns completely, in a nation with more open and wild territory than in the U.S. Socialized medicine decades ago - I forget the exact year. The constant crap with Quebec and the mandate, again years ago, that everything be bilingual. Back in the 1970s were we on vacation in the Bahamas, and I was sitting on the beach talking to a president of a Canadian bank, and a smart guy he was. He predicted, which didn't come true, that by the year 2,000 Canada, being so beset with division, would cease to exist as we know it. He predicted that the maritime provinces would go their own way as a separate country, aligned with Britain, that Quebec would finally secede, become its own little country, with its French culture and language. He thought that present day Ontario would be all that would be left of Canada, because he thought that the western provinces, whose people are westerners and have far more in common with the western U.S. states like the Dakotas and Montana than they do with Toronto and Montreal, would secede and apply to become U.S. territories. Not all that far fetched. And with our wonderful diversity crap in the U.S., it just shows how people think once they fail to remain "one nation".
