"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

I’m Not Surprised

by Lee

I guess we should have seen this coming.

Canada toughened its line on the Iraq crisis on Tuesday, saying it had no intention of contributing to a possible U.S.-led attack that had not been blessed by the United Nations Security Council.

Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien has until now refused to rule out contributing forces to a possible unilateral U.S. attack, but on Tuesday he told Parliament this was not an option.

“We have not been asked and we do not intend to participate in a group of the willing,” he said in reply to a question asking whether Canada would join “a coalition of willing countries”.

What do you expect from a country with that many French in it?  As Ted Nugent said, “Only thing worse than a Frenchman is a Frenchman who lives in Canada.”
