For the record, what makes it smell like propaganda is that I actually do think you’re very aware of the pros and cons, and that you keep leading with the currency argument when it’s by far the weakest argument. It’s the most emotionally persuasive argument,however, because it’s suggesting Canadians part with a tangible everyday item. People were flustered losing the penny. It pulls emotional levers that simply are not pulled by things like budget deficits and Dutch elm disease. It pulls emotional levels that need not be pulled or even approached because the point is settled already by Article 49. I think you absolutely know all of this, and that is my point.

You seem very invested in making me out to be a manipulator. I can’t prove to you that I’m not an elephant.
