MS. Smith goes to Washington

Watch this and then we’ll talk about this.

It’s a pretty hood comparison isn’t it? But not quite. I think it closer to compare her to John Hancock and Company, you know The Second Continental Congress, Who trued so hard to remain both British and free citizens. They found it impossible and so America was born in the only successful revolution in history It succeeded primarily because of 150 years of self governm4nt and our English Political heritage boyh of which Alberta shares/ Sp,ethig else hey share is a memory of that ;omh ahp Ju;y 5th/ many pf their ancestors were tere, but though independence a ste[ too far, and so left for Canada. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t share much of what Jefferson wrote

.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world

And note that not only are the Prairie Provinces considering this, so even i our common Mother, England itself, is once again.

So what does that mean to u. for the moment we are France, wishing Alberta and Canada well but knowing we cannot help except with the prayer of free mem an women. In a sense we are the Deringer in Ms Smiths handbag, which I suspect is a hand down from Maggie herself. Pierre had the role of Pitt the Elder, Edmund Burke, and Charles James Fox of trying to make a tyrannical government see its errors and back off.

Taking all of Canada is not a wise move any more than asking the 13 colonies into France would have been, it will make no one happy. Yes, the Praries Provinces would probably be alright, but without them who is going to keep Ontario and Quebec from freezing while the starve in the dark, for that is their sure and certain fate..3

.Ah, yes, King George is worried about misinformation in America so he will henceforth appoint and pai al judicial personnel in the colonies and any trial that really matter will be heard in Admiralty Court, in London, if we get around to it You rabble sit down and shut up.

OK one of my favorite singers, a ginger Brit,, of course, had a hit back in 1949. Enjoy
