A Wild Rose by any other name ......

We haven't seen much of the western separatists recently, but the surge in separatism in Quebec generated by Chretien's sponsorship scandal appears to bringing these guys out of hibernation.

Bob Mills, Tory MP for Red Deer, said some of his constituents are contemplating separatism and may have no other choice should the federal Liberals win the next election. Mills confirmed his constituents are again musing about separation:

"You hear that. You hear ... 'How could they continue to elect criminals?' That's the step right now. What might happen later, who knows."

Congratulations, Jean. Your place in history may yet include becoming the father of several contiguous countries!
