Also, the strategy of the Harper govt. And ditto Quebec govt.<BR/>We all know that the modes operative of the Harper govt is "to divide and conquer". It has always been a neocon game plan. So here the Harper govt tries to pit Quebec and NFL/Lab prov govts against one another. However, both Que & NDF/Lab share a grievance against the Harper govt concerning the recent budget for reduced equalization transfers. <BR/>Although not related they are related and the political play is within this political nesting theory situation.susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-38855186695770834432009-02-14T21:47:00.000-03:302009-02-14T21:47:00.000-03:30http://www.geocities.com/yosemite/rapids/3330/cons...http://www.geocities.com/yosemite/rapids/3330/constitution/labr.htm<BR/><BR/>A great URL for those that like to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-10442277464144759392009-02-14T15:55:00.000-03:302009-02-14T15:55:00.000-03:30and...Article 2 of the Terms of Union states:"2.

K. Johnston (N. 37) and by Stanford (N 40), the southern boundary of Labrador is shown as running, not from the point where the north and south line drawn from Ance Sablon meets the fifty-second parallel, and in a straight line along that parallel, but from a point where that north and south line would reach the watershed north of the fifty-second parallel, and in a straight line along that parallel, but from a point where that north and south line would reach the watershed north of the fifty-second parallel and along that watershed as far as the head of the Romaine River. A boundary so drawn along that watershed would not doubt be more convenient than one which follows the arbitrary line of the fifty-second parallel, and would have the advantage of throwing into Canada the whole course of the rivers which run into the gulf of St. Lawrence. But their Lordships would not feel justified in adopting a boundary which, however convenient in itself, is not warranted by the terms of the statute of 1825..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-90866627115116378562009-02-13T17:47:00.000-03:302009-02-13T17:47:00.000-03:30Sorry for all the Postings Patriot, but I'm starti...Sorry for all the Postings Patriot, but I'm starting to think that Williams has finally seen the light in regards to secession from Canada.<BR/><BR/>I'm just preying.Preying hard that this will be what we have waited for, for far so long.<BR/><BR/>It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark<BR/>And service high and holy,<BR/>Would be profaned by feelings dark<BR/>And passions vain or lowly;<BR/>For, Freedom comes from God's right hand,<BR/>And needs a Godly train;<BR/>And righteous men must make our land<BR/>A Nation once again!<BR/><BR/>Is it time to start sending money home to a Political Party that will do what needs to be done.Ussrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368238716997023662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-11228564546416933972009-02-13T17:18:00.000-03:302009-02-13T17:18:00.000-03:30Sorry USSR, not a word.

This is a Government that is willing to fight at the drop of a hat and they are very loud but they are also very smart.<BR/><BR/>If I was going against them(gov't) I'd be more worried about them when they don't jump on something right away with a lot of noise. <BR/><BR/>Because if they are not saying anything then maybe just maybe they have something up their selves and just don't want to give it away yet.
