Nota: Quebec recently held a referendum on seperation from Canada. Just talk about secession of a state in the U.S., and you'll quickly see which country makes political ideas illegal.

You mean stuff like this? :-) http://www.softdisk.com/comp/dan/politics/parties.html#Seccession The one about the Provisional Government of the Republic of Texas is a hoot. The reason you don't hear people wanting to secede from the US is, well, they don't want to, not because we can't take it. That little incident in the 1860's was really an international conflict, not a secession. Some other entertaining sites that would probably be frowned upon in lily-livered Canada include: http://www.nationalist.org/platform.html#Social http://www.natvan.com/WHAT/na2.html#aryan Back to Zundel, the full text of the Supreme Court decision is at http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/z/zundel-ernst/supreme-court/ The reasoning is rather different than what you said, but maybe you were thinking of the earlier postal decision, which I haven't read. The latest attempt at a criminal charge never even got to trial. I also just received a copy of Judge Heald's ruling on the citizenship matter. Unfortunately, it's a second-generation Xerox that my OCR software just looks at and laughs. I'll key it in manually if I ever find the time. Essentially, it says the government either has to give him citizenship or change the law, because the only body that is legally empowered to advise the Crown whether he's a threat to Canadian society or "of bad charater" has already concluded that he is, so it can't be objective. Very strange reasoning, but I agree with the outcome. -rich
