Martin, with your background in Social Credit and Law perhaps you may know
the answer to this, or whether it was ever definitely determined: Douglas
seemed to be of the opinion that the Provinces, while constitutionally
unable to issue their own 'currency', very definitely controlled their own
'credit'. Did any of the Court cases ever determine otherwise?
