Stage 1: Disaster strikes. Stage 2: Plea for help (from victims, Red Cross, etc.). Stage 3: Many people help, but a few dolts who think this is some form of just desserts for voting one way or another in a referendum see this as an opportunity to a) Shirk their responsibility to their fellow man and b) Kick a few seperatists when they're down. Very mature. Stage 4: Some seperatists, clearly out to prove that they can be just as thick-headed as those described in Stage 3, label the obvious minority of those who actually are as described in Stage 3 as the prevailing opinion in the "ROC", and cite this as proof that Canada no longer works, Quebec should seperate, blah, blah, blah.... (Note: those who recognize that Stage 3ers are in the minority may flame them at will, with my blessing). And Presto! Yet another incident which has absolutely nothing to do with Quebec staying or leaving Canada gets blown into yet another Quebec-Canada "struggle". This exchange could have been written ahead of time. You people are nothing if predictable. A plague on both your houses....at least you've got one, unlike many in the flood zone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean Maguire, M.P.A.
