Good post, moon howler, with good responses.

Mr. Harper's actions and your post raise that old term, "sovereignty-association ." Do you suppose that is where we are going? I remember writing that to a newspaper editor once upon a time. There is a political drama/documentary for you. Mr Harper and René Lévesque in dialogue from opposite sides of the quarter century interval, 1990 - 2015. Perhaps we will see it on the Fringe circuit within a year or two. I'm going to whisper it in the ear of all the playwrights I know.
