[A-List] Dave Zirin on Tookie Williams/Robin Philpot compares EC/Québec aboriginal policy

["Sabri Oncu" <soncu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I must confess that I have difficulty in following much of the debate
between Macdonald and Jim because of my lack of knowledge of the details. I
suspect most of the other non-Canadians on the list have the same
difficulty. To turn their debate into something fruitful that we all can
follow, here is a question to both of them:

How do we distinguish among sovereignty, self-determination and state?

More specifically, is self-determination possible without sovereignty and
sovereignty without state?

Lastly, if Quebec separates from the rest of Canada and becomes a
"nation-state," which nation's state will that be?

Best,

Sabri
