We, in our Province, are beginning to realize and appreciate that our slowness in keeping up with our North American neighbours may well have been a blessing in disguise.

Over the past several years, all of us as Canadians, and as members of the North American cultural and economic environment, have been to a greater or lesser extent party to a significant attitudinal change towards our culture.

I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet.

I wanted to introduce a contemporary Asia to a North American audience.

Emperors, kings, artisians, peasens, big people---at the bottom we are all alike and all the same; all just alike on the inside, and when our clothes are off, nobody can tell which of us is which.

Certainly whenever the province is getting high royalties as a result of high natural gas prices on the North American market, they are obligated to share that royalty with the citizens who own it.
