Independance you say? Dear Lord we only repatriated our constitution a few years back under the government of PET, Quebec of course refused to sign so we are still not a unified nation, as for Canada doing well, the province I live in has a five billion dollar public dept and has no cash whatsoever to maintain our roads and other infrastructure, we only survive by selling our food and other natural resorces, along with our oil, to China and the USA at a fraction of true value'.Like many "Poms" you dont have a bloody clue about the real situation in Canada, now I must go and smash a few skulls on cute baby seals so we can eat this winter!
