Diane Francis argues that it would be best for Canada to abandon our health care system, to adopt a native relations system even more brutal than the one we have, and embrace a sky-rocketing Gini Coefficient while inextricably tying ourselves to an unstable nation forever flirting with government shut-down and default.

On balance, I am against this. Their crazification factor outnumbers Canada more than two to one.

She also advocates policies known have contributed to gendercide in China.

Annexing Turks and Caicos Islands goes back to WWI. It kept popping up in the 80s and 90s as a pet project of a Conservative MP. There are close relations, and Canada has been sending law enforcement resources down to help with crime on the island.

The main issue is that the perceived benefits don't outweigh the costs, although there's been continuing studies on it over the years.
