I've been thinking about this - the first *spectre* - national sovereignty. Really, what would Quebec (BQ) have done? Send tanks throughout the country? Made moves to destroy confederation? Invaded the other 9 provinces with its air force? Emerged as Canada's break away province, a new sovereign nation? At the time, the BQ was just opposed to [all that was going on], like the others were.
Here's my brief sh*tlist about this government (SPP list not included). There's really actually too much to document IMO, when I start thinking about the late appearances at photo shoots and embarrassment internationally etc.

- Fixed election dates (?)
- Original sin (party merger - Harper, MacKay, Orchard)
- Closing access to information vs transparency
- Imperial leadership aka undemocratic
- Inept Cabinet Ministers (Raitt [where's my recorder, sexy?], Ritz[listeria jokes], Bernier [where's my NATO file, honey-boobs?])
- Losing Quebec in a fireball
- Lack of respect for Office (e.g. Louise Arbour at UN, Linda Keen re nuke safety)
- Soliciting David Emerson in Vancouver Kingsway, Chuck Cadman (despite his contrary stance as Opposition leader)
- Income Trusts
- abandoning lucrative, global isotope business, no vision, defeatist! public asset giveaways!!!
- Kelowna Accord
- Duplicate speech (John Howard), 2003
- MP newletters & ads
- medical isotopes, selling a Crown corp (public investment $20b) this is a BIG **** up - talk about trade partners and duties, responsibilities - we look like ****
