People vote. Provinces don't. ==================== Albert Einstein once said, "If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes." He also said, "The formulation of a problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill." Therefore, the most important step in finding the right answer is asking the right question, because before you can solve the problem, you have to determine and understand what the proper question is.
