Canada�s most ideologically right-wing provincial governments have joined forces in an agreement that erodes their own powers�and now they are trying to sell other provinces on the deal.

The Golden Voice of the Great Southwest, Utah Phillips is the embodiment of folk music. A Korean War vet fighting for peace as a political activist, Utah was destined to make himself heard.
