| Our stock in the world just went up 100% by rejecting BMD. Its probably out of the question to actually join the EU, but some kind of associate status is quite possible.

Harper -- what an idiot. His argument seems to be: The Liberals were once as bigotted as we are now.

| You could also add that the American colonists were enraged with the Quebec Act of 1774 that created the vast Catholic colony to their north. Most of the Americans in the eastern seaboard were Protestant dissenters, and this Catholic realm behind them was a bitter pill. Again you see the historical ... |

| The same thing is happening across the country. I was home in the place where I grew up -- Chatham, Ontario -- over the holidays. Chatham was the headquarters of Union Gas, one of the biggest natural gas suppliers in Canada. The best white collar jobs in Chatham (pop 43,000) were at Union Gas. (Othe... |

| Robichaud was definately a scrapper (in addition to be a staunch federalist, from all accounts). And his revolution was over by the time he was 44, amazing. <br /> <br />One of the products of his reforms is Professor Donald Savoie of the University of Moncton, who is probably Canada's e... |
