Referendum ramblings

Well, all this time we've been accusing Mulroney of parroting
US presidents, but now the whole country "Just Said No".

In the midst of all the news broadcasts, which consisted mainly
of excited "No" fans and press conferences, intermixed with
excited Jays fans and press conferences, I wondered how the
Jays had voted. Then realized, of course, that none of them
are Canadian, so of course they didn't vote.

I have three theories about the referendum:

(1) If the question had been worded "Do you refuse to
accept the consistuational amendments ..." then the amendments
would have passed, simply by virtue of the Canadian tendency
to say "No" to any government proposal.

(2) Canadians are so indecisive that it would be impossible
to get more than a 55% majority on any issue whatsoever. (With
the possible exception of "Mulroney really isn't doing a very
good job, and frankly, if it's not too much trouble, I think
that, perhaps, he should consider stepping down.")

(3) The new set of the CBC newsroom is a castoff from an old
episode of Star Trek. ("We canna take the budget cuts any
longa, Peter!")
