But don't blame the whole province. She only has a minority government. Are we all to blame for what Stephen Harper has done to Canada? Her stinky charter has divided even her own party, so hopefully in time she will get her comeupppance...

They're independence project is far more inclusive, and their social policies are far more progressive. The PQ is just a shell of what it once was, and growing more reactionary every day. I can't hardly watch that twit Bernard Drainville, without feeling like vomiting. It really is a shameful period, and when I look at the National Assembly I don't see any relief in sight...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-72374706672529858972013-09-23T05:20:35.230-04:002013-09-23T05:20:35.230-04:00hi Jan...thanks for the link.

But they are the best government Scotland has ever had. And Skipper's boss, Angus Robertson,is the MP for the Moray, where my family lives, and the best MP we've ever seen. Even my (progressive) Conservative Dad has been forced to agree with that, so I can't help feeling we're making progress... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-61064987842678125102013-09-22T17:53:43.466-04:002013-09-22T17:53:43.466-04:00Unimaginative? Who but a totally deluded, misguide...Unimaginative? Who but a totally deluded, misguided, racist bunch of fanatical assholes could come up with a prejudicial piece of shit like the p.q. just did and try and pawn it of as legitimate legislation? Call them australopithic or ignerant as 'murkans or even jack-booted fucking morons but don't be so unkind as to call them "unimaginative". That's not nice and maron (as in moron) might just have to send some of her H.A. pals out to deal with you for hurting her feelings. There's no reason to be proud to be from Quebec right now. "They" put her in power so "they" must be in agreement about this stinking, putrid shit that "they" call "legislation" there. Better off living in Alabama or Mississippi than Quebec.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-40986877238889935132013-09-22T10:33:22.173-04:002013-09-22T10:33:22.173-04:00That is odd, as I'd think the obvious parallel...That is odd, as I'd think the obvious parallel would be with Québec independence (and also with the PQ which has become increasingly conservative and unimaginative). lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-23403464434880231972013-09-22T09:23:31.007-04:002013-09-22T09:23:31.007-04:00FYI Simon,
