		When the liberal-minded, nationalist critic Hurtig was followed to the podium by the Conservative premier Peter Lougheed, famous for his defence of Alberta's interests during the furor over the National Energy crisis, the crowd was left to wonder at the strange partnership that had led to this day.
		Hurtig's dream of producing an affordable Canadian encyclopedia took shape when he contemplated the results of one of those perennial surveys that show how disturbingly ignorant Canadian students are about Canada.
		Over the years editor in chief James Marsh has received thousands of letters from those who care enough to tell him that he got this or that wrong, or that he really should consider adding a topic that he was either negligent or mad to have omitted.

	Charlottetown Accord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was submitted to a public referendum on October 26 of that year, and was defeated.
		On August 28, 1992, the federal, provincial and territorial governments, and representatives from the Assembly of First Nations, the Native Council of Canada, the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada and the Métis National Council, came to the agreement known as the "Charlottetown Accord".

		Canadians voted in a nation-wide referendum on October 26th, 1992 to determine whether the changes proposed in the Accord would become part of a new Canadian Constitution.
		This suggests that, in the context of the referendum, people who single-mindedly focussed only on their own position would be more likely to make higher consensus estimates than people who considered both their own side of the issue and the opposing side in their pre-vote deliberations.
		In the context of a political decision such as presented by the referendum, situational attributions could be most directly assessed by asking people whether their opinions were influenced by key politicians who had spoken out on the referendum debate.

		But Quebec's referendum law says any official interest groups wanting to campaign can only have their views disseminated through the media as long as they don't pay for it.
