Looks like you didn't learn it very well.  One vote, one person, one 
party.  That is the way Canada works, the people decide.  Not the edicts 
of the GG, not the backroom secret dealings of the 
Liberals/Separatists/NDP.

The interesting thing is that the polls agree, that leaves your wantonly 
ignorant and misinformed opinion pretty much out in left field.

The short answer is that the power will come from the state itself."
