One Diplomatic Faux Pas And Two Martinis

In fact, The Fraser Institute, by it's profoundly libertarian ideology, ought to be among the most vitriolic haters of the U.S. federal government.Yet no one amongst these sound money conservatives asked the Ambassador a thing about why the Bush administration has engaged in record spending and record deficits. None of the libertarians in the audience, who ought to know how much the U.S. dollar has been inflated and devalued in the Bush reign of fiat currency, brought to the attention of Ambassador Wilkins that the U.S. dollar has devalued itself against the Canadian dollar 31 per cent.

None of the "small government" advocates in the audience asked about the largest prison population (2,145,000) in the USA ever, and the highest rate of imprisonment in the world. No one mentioned Iraq. No one asked about the North America integration plan that is a Bush Administration plan for single currency, a merged North America that makes all law, rules, regulations between Canada, USA and Mexico under one over-all treaty. I mean, while David Wilkins is in the room, shouldn't someone ask him a real question about where the Project for a New American Century's New World Order is going?

Wilkins shucked and awed with aren't we all just great friends and neighbors patter. "Emphasize the positive," he said. "Lots of co-operation between Canada & the USA," he said, to no one's apparent alarm in the audience.
