First of all, please name exactly who makes up your "OTTAWA ELITES" and why you consider them to be elite, i.e. specialists in their fields.  Secondly, please provide some concrete documentation for the statements you ascribe to these elites.  Was there a context?  Was there any nuance?  Or are you just having a very good time being a reactionary to statements you have created in order to have your words out there in public and provoke some argument which, doubtless, you would call "discussion", thereby elevating your opinions to a level of seriousness they do not deserve?
