As I'm sure you're well aware, Liberal politicians hold western Canada very dearly in their hearts. As a region which sends vast quantities of resources and a few opposition MPs to Ottawa, the west is a very important piece of the puzzle. As this puzzle takes shape, we see a beautiful image springing to life: A Canadian Monarchy. King Pierre, passes his mantle to Prince Jean, who strengthens the power of the throne before the coronation of Paul Jr. The lines of succession remain unbroken, except for brief, awkward, periods, when the Jester Joe, Knave Brian, and Queen Kim sneak unto the throne. Meanwhile, Canadians bow, and pledge ballot-box allegiance to their master, while backbench MPs kiss rings and arses for cabinet posts.
The west will never leave. The leash is strong and short.
