NATIONAL POST ONLINE | Canada rejects Bush's vision of energy policy
"I would underscore, whether it's bilaterally with Mexico, or bilaterally with the U.S. or tri-laterally with both of them, that Canada is not engaged -- and I underscore that word -- we are not engaged in any discussion about a so-called North American energy policy," said Mr. Goodale, who was on an energy trade and investment mission in Mexico last week. "We are interested in market expansion. We are not interested in policy subordination and I think that's an extremely important distinction."

I'd Like to Force the World to Sing: The Making of a Yes Generation
Remember: It was the CIA which, by experimenting on college students in an effort to develop mind-control drugs, inadvertently introduced LSD into the counterculture. In the Nineties, Kristol and his allies in the CIA simply found a way to perform the trick in reverse. In their impossible quest to conjure up a cadre of conservative youth who'd rebel against a Sixties they'd never known, Kristol and Co., the theory maintains, conspired to dose Generation X with the concentrated essence of what they called "OK-ness."
