You Realize don't you, that Infanteer (the 'troll' you referred to in a previous post) is a moderator on this site, and is vastly more experienced than you are. Infanteer also has a degree in Political Science, so it is a very bad idea to get on the wrong side of a Political Discussion with him.
Thanks for the back up, but don't take the degree too seriously. It's a piece of paper, and you'd be surprised at the asstards they give that thing too. There are many wise and savvy guys in the military that will teach you things that will stick with you for life, and some of them never even finished high school. For the most part, politics is about points of view (ie: should we support free market economics or be lazy socialists) and anyone who can give good reasons for their belief can contribute to the political dialogue.
Remember, in most cases experience will outweigh the facts someone yanked off of some book or heard from some professor who likes to hear himself talk.
That being said, I have first hand experience of dragging the definition of sovereignty out of the text books for 4 years, and that is why I insist on correcting Mr Fontaine's version of the term.

Here is a thought I just had. Now that the Grit vote has been mended from the previous Reform/PC split and many are tired of Liberal boondoggales, some see the Conservative Party giving the Liberals a run for their money in Ontario. If their is some sort of near split in the province, which usually decides the vote, I guess western Canada (BC in particular) will become sort of a swing vote. It'll be nice out here to actually have the vote be crucial instead of learing as soon as the polls close that Sourthern Ontario has already decided on the new government.
What do you guys think about that?
