Gordon Gibson once personified 'BC Liberal' ... as for Kennedy's saying, it sort of presupposes a definition of 'your country', a concept not fixed in stone here.

I really wish the people of BC would stop complaining and get on with the task of generating prosperity. The politicians in Ottawa and Quebec want their wealth and patiently await delivery. Cheers, PW. P.S. It was a few years now, but I remember reading that Ottawa extracts $8,000 per year from every man, woman, and child in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia for re-distribution in other regions. I don't think this number has seen any recent reductions. Now I ask myself what I'd value most, $8,000 per year, compounded over my lifetime in my pocket, or having Bi-lingualism, Mountain re-naming, Young Offenders Acting, Gun Controlling, Health Care Chopping, Oil Stealing, Metric Throat-ramming, Liberal government in Ottawa buying support to perpetuate themselves at my expense.
