I am indifferant to the constitution and the charter of rights.  I am led
to believe that Great Britain has neither and the Soviet Union has both.
Need more be said???

It take a lot more paper work to drive a commercial truck across the one
country of Canada than it does to drive across Europe.  I hold an unpopular
view:

	turf out the ten provinces and two territories and form one Province
	out of Alberta, Yukon, Saskatchewan, Makitoba, and the Western half
	of the North West Territories.
	Leave Ontario in tact.
	Form a Province out of Quebec, Labrador, and the Eastern NWT.
	Toss the maritimes into a fourth province.

The citizens will only benifit but the politicians would be infuriated.

Ooh what a grouch.
