We kind of saw it comming in Quebec, and it was one of the main reason we (and I) sacrificed the Bloc Quebecois in favour of the NPD, so we could actually have a strong government that represent the overall values of the canadian people. The result of these tactics is that separatism is now seen no more as an economic perspective than a difference in belonging. Separatist parties have seen a recent raise in interest here province-wise. As recently reported on television (Radio-Canada), it was said by journalist, that at one point in canada elections where re-done eleven times. It will be interesting to see what kind of argument Harper's party come up to put aside the law. Remember that in every other sphere of life, if you get caught cheating there are consequences. If the values put forward by this party are that they are above the law, then I guess we should do the same, remember caporal Lortie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Lortie) It can happen again !

It should not be hard to get northern people to apply :)
