If you don't mind I'll be borrowing that one a lot :)<BR/>You know the frightening thing about this anti-Bloc campaign is that it plays to a strong anti-Quebec feeling in English Canada. Which has seeped into the culture since the shock of the last referendum. My fear is that is what accounts for the Cons astounding jump into majority territory. I hope I'm wrong because if it worked once he'll use it again. But beyond that we need to deal with the elephant in the room. Quebec sovereignists have the right to express their views just like any other Canadians. The right to form alliances with who they please. There is no disgrace for them or for the federalists they join forces with in an attempt to save our common economy. And demonising the people with whom fate would have you be neighbours for ever is a very bad thing.<BR/>Geezus...I'd have a crack at it myself if I wasn't so exhausted... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731543.post-11184091059131841752008-12-03T13:36:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:36:00.000-05:00If you listen to the call-in shows, the people who...If you listen to the call-in shows, the people who most support Mr. Harper always seem to caveat their opinions with" But I don't know about this parliament stuff". Harper's greater fool theory is that he can fool people who haven't time to follow his machinations. He counts on the credulity and short memories of the public.<BR/>Harper assumes people are either too stupid or distracted to notice that when he or his caucus move their lips, they are lying.adamvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588785302134404072noreply@blogger.com
