would only serve to enhance the east/west division.<i/> Common sense says the country is too big, too marginalized, too inefficient and too burdensome to hold together. Split it into 4 smaller counties (Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario and the West) and let the resulting governing bodies concentrate on trading with each other and on presenting their countries in an interesting light to stimulate tourism et al. The alternative is the status quo...that being spending untold resources figuring out ways to extort from each other.

The Alliance and the Bloc are not rump parties. The Bloc is a regional party and intends to stay that way. The Alliance is a national party and has a platform that does not discriminate against any region, but protects provincial rights. Although the Bloc will never form a federal government; it is not their intent. I am not sure if the Alliance will ever offer a national alternative, but I would probably change my vote if that ever happened. That's bass ackwards. The message to PC/NDP/Bloc voters is "If you never change your vote, they will never form a national alternative." -g
