Given that these territories - soon to be provinces, it would seem - are pricipally inhabited by 'first nation' peoples, to what extent, do you think, would they be willing or able to fit into the FC? Are they, like the Maoris of New Zealand, thoroughly loyal to the Crown and the Commonwealth (more so than the British settlers' descendents, in fact)? Or would they be more like the Quebecois, believing that their integration with Anglophone peoples has gone far enough already?

Author: Dave (UK) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:47:40 11/23/04 Tue Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I was in Edmonton, I seem to remember that a First Nation person served as a Lieutenant-Governor some time ago. I can't remember if this was in Alberta or not. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Mister Common Sense [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:29:22 11/23/04 Tue Surely none of the three territories would have a population even approaching that of the smallest of provinces? Would it not be wiser to give provincial status to a giant northern province rather than three nothing little ones? L'Union fait la force and all that? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Owain (UK) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:36:38 11/23/04 Tue I agree Mister Common Sense. It also means you have to employ less politicians and governers and then people there will have a stronger untied voice, thus there unity is a win-win situation. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
