Kennedy on Nations...

Stardate 6748.78

Yep. Gerard Kennedy hits the nail on the head with his opposition stance on the entire Quebec/nation sillyness.

The motion provides "official recognition to the idea of nation without defining it and that is irresponsible," Kennedy said at a press conference on Monday.
"It puts that official concept in the hands of the people who would use it for things that are frankly at odds with what most Canadians believe in," he said.

If we want to keep Canada united, then any reference to any part of Canada being described as a "nation" all on it's own is ridiculous. Kennedy says that Harper should define "nation" before tossign the term out so loosely. I partly agree, but we already have a definition of "nation" and frankly, Quebec is not it.
