Dear Mr. Fat Domino

You deserve to get some respect for that comment from me, Mr.

I understand what you implied was correct, credit cards he paid off... with tax payers money.

I'm glad people watched this on television tonight.

I wasn't home to watch, but I do have opinons to give on Canada's PM ADSCAM rebuttal.

I thought the minority of Canadians do understand "credit card" pay-offs equate to the tax dollars government controls. Our taxes create our government in return we get a place within which we move freely? That's the deal of government.

The priorities within that government provides us with a benefiting "plaid suit" (i.e. like sales person approaches you with some interest or forms an ideal partnership with you for commision/profits).

Let's say the priorities are in random sequence, but I will list the ones I think might a majority of Canadians agree upon?

1 Health Care
2 (Quebec federalism)
3 Rights of minorities (e.g. immigration laws/ equal rights etc)

I believe in principle... that the Quebec agenda in government is a priority. However, why didn't Paul Martin just not say, "We want the province of Quebec to be a part of Canada. Therefore, what we didn't tell Canadians wasn't as necessary because its important FOR EVERYBODY."
Instead the feds "screwed up" and it only looks as though we're being screwed?

Why not had Martin able to address to us, something with courage and respecting people's sensitivity on this issue? There's a margin of error involved. If Canadians can grasp the fact, Quebec doesn't want itself on a leash it's only due to their distinct society status. But put the showmanship aside, and it's a leash that every other province already has. Quebec needs a sample size leash that they'll get comfortable wearing and not feel patronized. The problem with the government of Canada's inability, might be how Quebec sees itself. ADSCAM is fundamentally the leash we were attempting to see if it would fit Quebec and draw them nearer. The bigger picture is being totally flushed down the toilet.
