What's your point Marcos? The 1867 British North America Act was our constitution. That it wasn't written by us (and wasn't 'patriated') doesn't change the fact. The point he was making was that the division of jurisdictions outlined in the BNA was largely maintained in the Canada Act.

Or you play politics and leave the question alone. Any politician would lose by making a stand one way or the other. Have you heard Chretien's position (he does have one)? I thought not.

We all know Day is an evangelical christian. The question remains: does that disqualify him from office? Maybe it should, but I'm willing to risk it because I think his party's support is much broader than that. Even though I am vehemently anti-religion and pro-choice*, I also try to avoid discrimination based on what may be irrelevant details.
