Why 2 prime recipients of transfer payments -- Elijah Harper & Clyde Wells were allowed to scuttle a low cost initiative to redesign Confederation only a forensic sociologist could say. Rene Levesque put it best when he reprimanded errant party members with " dissention has run amongst us like a rat for 300 years." But English Canada can no longer count on this lack of focus.
