Here it is, briefly:
Control health care (and the billions of $ that goes with it, and control environmental policy (like Kyoto, etc...), and you have a reason (no matter how slim, but they don't need much up there) to control every aspect of people's lives. Your lifestyle costs the helath care system, so you must change it and do and eat what what the government says. Your lifestyle harms the environment, so the government will dictate to you what you can and can't do.
Personal freedom is WAAAAAY down the list up there (except for every goof-ball special interest/minority group. They get all the 'rights', everybody else gets the shaft and their pockets picked to pay for it. And the word 'Liberty' is virtually unspoken and unknown. Canada's deeply flawed constitution and so-called Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not even guaranty the right to own property, with or without eminent domain. Don't get me started. Wait, you already did :-) The country is fast becoming a socialist autocracy, dictating everything in the name of 'minority rights' and Internationalism. BIG FAT BARF.
By the way, how are the All Blacks doing?
Oh Bullshit. Where do you get this foolishness from ? Australia?
The All Blacks won the latest Tri-Nations against the Wallabies in no less than Sydney last week. They came from behind to win and the boys have done well (well there is one current All Blacks member in the squad that went to the same high school as I. He was even in the same Third Form class in one subject but we don't know too well with each other ;-)).
But it is an uphill battle - the All Blacks is slowly becoming the England soccer team that they are expected to excel and more often than not just not good enough nowadays.
