If you want to REALLY understand the dangers of Identity Politics, give them a brief history of Canadian History from 1965 to present. You’ll be able to show them that one major group (Quebec) managed to torpedo not one, but two attempts to amend our Constitution. You can tell them about how another group (Aboriginals) provoked the one and only instance of Martial Law in a peacetime western country post-Vietnam (bet you didnt know Canada did that. We dont have Posse Comitatis, so it isnt that hard). Now we’re spending millions of dollars proving what we already know- that a suspicious boatload of “refugees” are in fact escaped Tamil Tigers.

It starts with tolerating Illegals. Then you give them amnesty. Then you start labelling just about any group of migrants refugees so you can buy their votes.

Anyway, my 2 cents (which is really more like 1.87 american). Thanks for keeping my blog linked despite my absenteeism, and I’ll be in the DC area from the 27th to the 29th enjoying your lovely city!
