Whither Canada?

Over on Cerberus at last a debate about something important.Without a strong central government Canada will cease to exist for all practical purposes.Martin was hell bent on giving the provinces what they wanted. He was doing it helter skelter. Harper wants to shrink the federal government to a small core of responsibilities and empower the provinces far beyond what was envisaged in the BNA Act.Unless the Liberals can get their act together, shed their baggage and recommit themselves to a vibrant Canada with a new dynamic leader, Harper's view will prevail.
