Thanks Lucien...

I like the way he's thinking...

Bernard Landry, a former PQ premier, was on Radio Canada to comment on the situation.

Did not see the whole thing, but trying to find a youtube link.

He seemed to be on the defensive and took a loud tone with the journalist. See, that's the thing, the PQ is rarely criticized by the Quebec media in any circumstance. So their reaction is peculiar when they are expected to respond to the real issues.

[DerbyX]

Somehow, somewhere I'm sure they find a way to blame what Bouchard said on the English.

[Choban]

It's about time someone had the balls to tell Quebecers this, there are bigger issues than their splitting from Canada.

[PimpBrewski123]

Sovereignty is irrelevant.

There has been to many quarrels inside the party to count. There is a certain ignorance on the part of the sovereignty supporters. Stick a fork in it, it's done.

[BartSimpson]

In short, Quebec cannot manage without the support of Ottawa in the form of subsidies. Until the economy improves PQ will have to put aside their fantasies of independence.

They should blame Pierre Trudeau. It's his immigration reforms that have "immigrated out" the French majority in Quebec. If they want to blame someone, they'll have to blame a Francophone. This is one strong argument in support of Trudeau's claim to the title of Canada's greatest Prime Minister.

Joebine and Alexandre msut be frothing at the mouth right now.

Chacnes are they'll fire back at us saying: "He never specifically said it's impossible; just that it has to wait" or something like that.

See, a conservative Quebec separatist was the first to come to his senses. Those Nationalistic Socialists running the separatist dog and pony show will keep on with ther BS, about carving their racially pure Fatherland out of Canada. They'll just have to be disappointed that they can't come out with their jackboots and blue shirts now.

Maybe it's a good thing...

We simply let them get more and more broke until the situation is almost at a breaking point and then step up and help them, thus disenfranchising the PQ.

M.Bouchards main bitch was with Mulroney.... He always knew that sovereignty was not in the best interest of Québec, but the rhetoric kept him in power. The sooner the PQ come to the same conclusion, the sooner Québecers and all Canadians will benefit...
