Ah, seems like there is a lull in the battle, so: I still can't see the problem with the UK taking firm control of its destiny .... you are a democracy (many of you don't like your present govt., but you can democratically turf it out at the next election); doesn't that mean that the govt.you elect makes decisions on your behalf with the authority you have delegated. And doesn't it follow from this that you, through your govt., control your own destiny. What's the problem? Not many people give Canada much thought; but if they do, they think of us as some sort of wannabe 51st. state. But the reality is, we are, like you, an independent sovereign nation. We pursue an independent domestic and foreign policy. Sure we are in NAFTA; but this is kinda inevitable. After all, the US depends on us for the largest percentage of its oil imports; and the volume of trade between Ontario, one province, and the US is greater than that between the US and China. But, we make our own rules. We go our own way in foreign policy. No one, but our democratically elected government(s) makes decisions for us. Bottom line is, we are who we are, take it or leave it. And we still dominate our national sport (ok, that's officially Lacrosse, but I'm talking hockey).
