Canadians are in a trade struggle against itself with Pro and anti-oil elements fighting each other in British Columbia and Alberta. British Columbia (B.C) is full of Green Party environmental zealots in a federal fight against the feds of Canada denying an oil pipeline from Alberta through B.C. to the West Coast. Alaska may be the end point of this oil pipeline if they don't work things out. the Leftist Green Party Governor fighting a Socialist Governror in Alberta who DOES (yes, this Socialist pumps Co2 into the Ground to compensate) want Oil going West. It is messed up!! Trudeau may be 2 faced as well on this. His party is working on a supertaker ban which Indigenous Tribes and Alberta is against. Again, using the Alaska side of the bay may be the workaround to this.

When I was posted in Ottawa, I had a good view of how Canada works - their brand of federalism actually gives the provinces quite a bit of leeway as to what they want to do with regard to federal laws - they can "opt out" if they want. I seem to remember that back in the '80s, Quebec even opted out of an amendment to the new Canadian constitution. Some people think Californa and liberal cities in the US are revolutionary for trying to do that, but local and provincial Canadian governments have been doing it for decades. Some provinces had/have Liquor Control Board stores (Ontario even has government-run beer stores that (to me) are very industrial) that drive up the cost of drink and promotes black marketeering and smuggling from provinces that don't have such arrangements. Also, when Canada tried to ween its people from cigarettes by raising the cost to $40/carton to make it too expensive of a habit for many, the Mohawk Indians on a border reservation (who are subject to different treaty-mandated laws) found a way to buy the same smokes in the States for $20/carton and smuggle them across the border to sell for $30/carton. The police in Ontario, Quebec and New York were kept busy with that, not to mention the RCMP and the FBI. When I was visiting my then-girlfriend in Cornwall, I found that the local Akwesasne Mohawk reservation was selling treaty-mandated tax-free gas while Canadian gas stations still had to charge tax. Guess where most people gassed-up? While Canadians are a pretty law-abiding bunch, I found that they only obey laws that make sense, not because they are laws.

Steve,
I don't care what they do as long as they DO NOT! send us ketchup flavored potato chips.
There is something deeply wrong about them.
There may even be biblical prohibitions against consumption.
Not sure.
