We had better wake up and smell the coffee (Timmy’s)

Canada

What the hell is going on in this country? The West demonizes the East. A Prince Edward Island politician says he’s an Islander first,  B.C. is threatening to derail Alberta’s oil pipeline.and Quebec- Separatists are on the warpath again.

If Canadians can’t get along in one of the luckiest countries in the world, what hope is there for any kind of accommodation in third-world countries where they have no sense of democracy, and where they terrorize and murder their minorities?  We had better wake up and smell the coffee (Timmy’s),  watch the countries with real problems on the evening news and quit snarling at each other.
