thanks bobad... I can understand floods, fires, and maybe snowstorms, but it leaves a lot open in the hands of a few to determine what would be a civil emergency... civil unrest? mass dissent ? native blockades ? When in doubt , use the "T" word... terrorist, separatist, scare-orist.Okay, It seems that an agreement like this was slipped by the public, with little attention from the media, much like the free-trade deal with the heavy handed union-busting Columbian gov't....

it just makes me wonder about the sleight of hand deals pulled off by Ottawa...

now to find a leader who I can trust....
