"An IndMdual should not have too much freedom. A nation should have absolute freedom" - Sun Yat-sen, Chinese revolutionary. Canadians not united

Quebec has a distinct language, culture and history. It is seeking respect and recognition for

its differences and though it is something it deserves, there are other provinces and commu- nities that feel they deserve the same recognition. Canada is made up of ,so many different cultures and languages which all Canadians share and are proud of. It's what makes this country so unique and prosperous. Quebec has participated in the founding and development of Canada, and without

Quebec's inclusion, Canada may not be the nation it is today. However, the same case can be made for the Inuit, British, Cree, Ojibwa and other aboriginal nations. A motion to formally recognize Quebec as a nation within united Canada was overwhelm- ingly passed 266-16 last Monday, leaving many confused and worried about the future of the country. Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe planned to introduce a motion for Quebec to be a nation 'currently' within Canada but Prime Minister Stephen Harper beat him to the punch. Harper's motion instead called for Quebec to be recognized as a nation 'within a united' Canada. Quebec was hoping for recognition as a nation without conditions but the acknowledg- ment is mainly a symbolic gesture baring with it no legal or constitutional amendment or change in law. Harper may have pulled a fast one on the Bloc Quebecois by amending the wording of the motion but the make-up of Canada should not be used to entice voters. Such manipulation

is dangerous and unfair. Harper's plan was to use this motion as a ploy for political leverage but MPs and opposi- tion leaders believe the recognition will re-ignite hope amongst separatists for an independ- ent nation.

The plan was said to be months in preparation, but it still managed to catch MPs within the Conservative party by surprise causing many to re-evaluate their definitions of Canada. Rather than support a controversial government resolution, cabinet minister Michael Chong quit and other Liberal and NDP leaders were split on the result. Decisions about the future of Canada are being made without the inclusion of the people who matter - Canadian citizens. If the government can present and pass a motion that will affect the future of this country, all Canadians should be included in the decisions. Quebecers have already voted twice in separate referendums that they would rather remain

in Canada and the rest of the country is still waiting to have its say. Harper may gain what he intended, a short-term spike in popularity but the motion leaves the door open for other ethnic and indigenous groups to demand similar status.

Psst... Ontario's keeping secrets, pass it on Canada's lawyers and newspapers want in on the Ontario government's secrets. The Canadian Lawyers Associations (CLA) has joined forces with the Canadian Newspaper Association (CNA) in an appeal against Ontario's freedom of information laws. The Freedom of Information Act stipulates that every person has the right to access a record in the custody of a government institution unless that record falls under a listed exemption. The Globe and Mail reported this week that both the CLA and the CNA have appealed to Word Ontario courts asking for amendments to the act. Helena Komiano, Kyle HInan, The appeal stems from a murder case in 1997 when the CLA launched several information 19, tourism & hosp. mgt 19, creative photography requests that were repeatedly denied.
