Let me add my welcome. I saw your comment about Politics of Canada, and am in general agreement with you. Western separatism is not a sufficient movement to warrant inclusion in this overview article. I will correct you on one point, though: Western Canada Concept member Gordon Kesler was elected to the Alberta legislature in a 1982 by-election. He changed ridings and was not returned to the Leg. in the subsequent general election. You should get in the habit of signing your contributions to talk pages by typing four tildes at the end, i.e., ~~~~ Thanks. Ground Zero 14:32, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
