wait wait wait...
you have to watch how the next Canadian election breaks down. More or less Quebec, Toronto and Vancouver elect their government. Ask any Canadian FReeper....they all live in the prarie lands that I am talking about...
AS for making them swear anything, just the normal oath to the Constitution that all naturalized citizens have to swear will do.
I live in Toronto. Though my family originally settled in the prairies and badlands, back when it was really rough. The last two generations are almost all in the large cities though. Toronto and Edmonton mainly, with some in Vancouver and a few in Winnipeg.
The Conservatives are scattered across the country. That's the problem; the only place where they are actually politically concentrated enough to matter is the West, and a few Ontario suburbs (but those swing back and forth).
Ahem - I live in Ontario and am notably supportive of the US economy (read much cross border shopping). I am also true blue, toots. My vehicles are Chrysler and Ford products.
I do not drink or wear or furnish my household with anything French.
Not all freeps live west, but we do our part in these hostile waters.
PS - Thanks for the Alberta beef. Love it.
