Can you imagine the PM and leading political party of Canada being as deeply committed to Canadian sovereignty and Canadian identity as the BQ and particularly Jacques Parizeau is to Quebec sovereignty and identity?

Whatever your feelings towards the BQ are, it can not be doubted that they are tremendously effective in advocating for laws and legislation that protect cultural identity and sovereignty.

    Something the Americans do not want the world, and especially other Americans, to know about Canada. Canada is at the forefront of developing the next stage of clean, harmless, safe nuclear power that actually uses existing nuclear waste as the fuel.

    The irony is that Canadian physicists were instrumental in developing the technology 50 years ago. It is the same technology that the Americans used in their nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. But because of ‘security concerns’, the Americans prevented the Canadians from even mentioning the technology, under fear of lifetime incarceration. It was ‘Avro Arrow’ silencing on steroids. However, these reactors were so small, that development on them could be confined to the basement of a University physics building, or even under a greenhouse. Yet not only did Canadian universities, engineers, and scientists have to deny they existed, they could not even say they do not exist, because that would acknowledge they even recognized the possibility of the technology. Yet there they were, in American submarines, clear as day evidence that they existed.
