And this is why Canada is destined to be a fourth world after thought of a nation- - -kowtowing to the marginalized interests of any special interest block that can scratch together enough political capital , cash or PR heat to claim a page five headline or MSNBC sub feature - - imagine the opposition today to the government of the day announcing a national plan for the initiation of the St Lawrence seaway construction , the national rail-line to the west coast or the trans Canada highway system...................... - - imagine trying to initiate those programs today- - 
-
against the wishes of the first nations
-
against the wishes of the green movement
-
against the wishes of the anti energy activists 
-
 and then try to imagine Canada today without those completed projects
