   === Length of 'controversies section' === Spike, while I understand that you've probably put a lot of time into the controversies section, the trimming I did keeps your evenhandedness while removing a whole lot of superflous detail.  Does every Senator's comment on teh controversies have to be accounted for in the text?  If the Quebec controversy is so major that it warrants 500 words (and it isn't) then perhaps it should have its own page.  My edits keep your tone but make the length and detail more appropriate to the actual significance of the events.  it'd be annoying if TIME magazine's page was three quarters about a minor two year old controversy.  If you insist that my changes were a bit much, at least go through them line by line rather than just reverting.  I removed a lot of un-encyclopic language and replaced it with the proper wikipedia tone.  Thanks.
