This weekend in Quebec City, New Democrats will debate the abolition of the monarchy in Canada. This page is certain that sometime over the next few days, this resolution will be used a few right-wing talking hotheads as an excuse to shut up Jack Layton about an exit strategy in Afghanistan. Some elements within the NDP are trying to play down the resolution and hoping it won't reach the convention floor, believing it may come off with the same veneer of wackiness as when the party advocated withdrawing from NATO at a convention over 20 years ago.
Then again, what's wrong with being ahead of the curve once in a while?
