Mr. Chrétien gets the classified foreign intelligence, not Mrs. McGillicuddy of Etobicoke. He knows the CSIS evaluation of current security threats, not you. He knows how well our emergency services could cope with a bioterror assault, you don't. He knows how secure our borders are, you can only guess. He knows what needs to be done, you don't. And his job is to get you to follow him, not the other way round. That's why he's Prime Minister and you're an accountant, short-order cook, disc-jockey, housewife, deranged right-wing columnist, whatever.

I can think of some people in our country who ought to keep this in mind, relative to the President.
