A tip of the old hat to the Ottawa Citizen which has come onside with the Country’s bilingual language problem as brought in by former the Trudeau liberal government, many years ago.
This policy of his has become so divisive that to this day, its impossible to say it has done anything for unity – the west is totally annoyed and understandably so with beng kept out of the Halls of Power because French was not, is not and will never be a language spoken by the majority of westerners, even here in Ontario.

UN chief presses Canada on climate change
Global televised his statements – Ban Ki-Moon’s words were how great Canada is, then did the emotional blackmail thing for us not sticking our butts into the air.

Re: #3 — I don’t believe much of what I read on CBC, Don. Here’s truth — Harper is a “crafty guy” and it’s “rope a dope” time.
All should be aware that Canada has not yet passed legislation that formalizes Kyoto and until we do it’s all bullshit — every word of it. Under a Harper minority government I can’t see that happening anytime soon for a variety of reasons, the big one being it would be a money bill and force an election.
Under a majority government?
Give me a break.
