Mr. Brown: If that is so, then a "writ" should be a simple solution for lots of your problems up there. Sadly, I must confess serious ignorance about the subtleties of Canadian governance. It has taken me most of my adult life to even begin to grasp the, indeed, chaotic components of our own democratic republic.

CZ: I'm grateful for your input here and I certainly don't want anybody to have such a potentially fatal misunderstanding. There are more than enough reasons to be cautious about this bedamnedable virus.

The worst (& perhaps best?) part of this whole process it that it has acted to "tip the hand" of so-many politicians as to what their true beliefs and values are, and for some (many?) of us it's painful to watch and then live through it.
