No. I consider the state of the G7 to be central to all other issues, including the state of Canada's relations with it. The event has the possibility of being as significant as the meeting of Churchill and Roosevelt on USS Augusta in Placentia Bay and the resultant Atlantic Charter. The fall...

I forgot to add in the Province of BC, the NDP, Conservatives, Modern Councils, Hereditary Chiefs, Environmentalists and Foreign Interference and we have a heyday for lawyers. A Gordian Knot that needs cutting.
