I agree that Canada would have developed differently without the elected solution.

However, I must have a bad communication problem. I was opposing a quick fix as I oppose most all of them, they rarely work. IMO the occurrences in Canada of which we speak from 1760-1812 amounted to, in the grand scheme of things, a quick fix that haunts Canada -- and Quebec today. Thus my Chou En Lai quote. I thought I made it clear that I was strongly opposed to quick fixes and suggested that the British solution in Canada amounted to that IMO.

As we both agree the story is far from over. Pay now or pay later...
