Because I'm picking on a single article that doesn't deserve to be picked
on, at least not more than any other, I omit the attribution:

In article ...:
>>The dispute settlement mechanism is able to enforce equal treatment 
>>regardless of national origin. 
>>
>...  [speculation about court mechanism] ...  Isn't this how the famous
>"notwithstanding" clause could be exploited?  ...

The "notwithstanding" clause is part of the Meech Lake agreement, isn't it?

>	Inquiring minds want to know!

What inquiring minds want to know is, why is this stuff in can.general instead
of can.politics?  I can get all the biased flame-throwing I want from the
Toronto Star or the Calgary Herald; if it's to be on this network too, let it
at least appear in the designated snakepit.  Or at least, if it's to appear
in can.general, let the article not contain errors that *I* can correct.
