While many embraced it enthusiastically, Quebec turned it down as squarely as Alberta and I think you are quite right at pointing a figure at emotional, angry rhetoric politics. These play a major role in political life. Manning and Bouchard were and remain masters of the style of politics which reminds me of Ian Paisley?s. I still question myself often about what would bring a human being to throw a balloon filled with urine on to a Catholic little girl on her way to school. I don?t want to see this in my country, ever (again). Here for an insight on Quebec Civic nationalism and French-Canadians from Denise Bombardier in Le Devoir yesterday. http://www.ledevoir.com/2006/11/11/122635.html<BR/><BR/>As for the Constition, I think we should always remember, and write and say, the Charter of Rights AND FREEDOMS. Never omit the freedoms. That is what I, for one, hold dear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22662330.post-1163269460708923902006-11-11T14:24:00.000-04:002006-11-11T14:24:00.000-04:00Leave Alberta the way it is!

We will do things our way, not what some asshole bureaucrats in Ottawa want. <BR/><BR/>As for Charlottetown it will never pass in Western Canada, so reintroduce it if you like but in the end you will say goodbye to either Western Canada or Quebec. Make your choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22662330.post-1163233998563400092006-11-11T04:33:00.000-04:002006-11-11T04:33:00.000-04:00National standards would help to tell whether a 80...National standards would help to tell whether a 80% in high school in Alberta is the same as in BC. I was told by a UBC recruiter that they added 5% to the averages of applicants from Alberta. <BR/><BR/>We could make sure that coming into first year university in another province, that you knew the same stuff.<BR/><BR/>Also, you can teach a unifying history, and have everyone taught it. Whats wrong with that?<BR/><BR/>National standards might force Alberta to be a little less right wing, how could that be a bad thing?Concerned Albertanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809909593653580510noreply@blogger.com
