Poor Edward

Now the natives in Halifax have succeeded in having the statue of the city's founding father, Edward Cornwallis, removed.  It's an outrage and a disgrace that city council acquiesced to this ludicrous demand.  They did it, they claim, to have better relations with the M'kmaq.  Here's a bulletin:  Halifax will never have better relations with the M'Kmaq no matter what they try. 

And neither will any other city, town, province or country.  There is no meeting of the minds with natives.  Ever.  On anything.  Oh yes, sorry, they will agree to more money, but that's it.  I'm so sick of Canadian history being dismembered and diminished.  Next we'll have to re-name Cornwall and call Montreal "Hochelaga".  It's insane.

And here's another bulletin:  The Canadian Constitution gives permission for the federal government to carry out projects in the national interest.  Provincial governments can stop neither pipelines, nor railroads.  That's just a fact and that's how Canada came into being.  The national railway brought Canada together -- thank God. 

So, B.C. can whistle Dixie about trying to block a pipeline.  The sad thing is it will take a protracted legal fight all the way to the Supreme Court to make it happen and I wonder if Notley or Trudeau have the guts to push it.  The sooner Jason Kenney gets into power the better.
