I think John Ford said something in 1942 to the effect that "if you add more than two feet of fake footage to a documentary it becomes a travesty." He -- along with other greats like Capra and Huston -- proved you don't have to use the MSU (Make Stuff Up) system of production to get a good film.…

I take issue with Mr. Lott's prediction that the Liberals, the Bloc Quebecois and New Democratic Parties will tear each other apart in the upcoming Canadian minority parliament. All are one form of socialist party or another and the Liberals and Bloc exist for the sole purpose of bettering the position of Quebec in confederation. Their target will be Alberta and its premier, Ralph Klein.

The big election winners in the short term were Quebec separatists. The Liberals must have Bloc support to pass legislation. They will go to the Bloc who will naturally require a payoff for Quebec in money or decreased federal involvement in the province in return for keeping the Liberals in power.

The second and longer term winners were the Alberta separatists. After having been caught in a mire of scandal, corruption, incompetence and crime, Liberals were still elected by Ontario and Atlantic voters. This will seen as proof that there is no hope of working within Canada. Upcoming battles over health care between Ottawa and Alberta will increase tensions already strained by gun control, lack of democratic reform and most importantly the Kyoto accord.
