    I agree, no separatist should have the Order.

    From the comments section

    Norman Ouston from Armstrong BC, Canada writes: What the hell is an attwood anyhow. Never heard of him.


    :lol: :lol:

    Well, its good to see that Atwood puts ideology, political expediency and craven self-interest before country.

    I wish that she would keep her thoughts to herself. Geez, we've been trying to get rid of the Bloc for years. Now that we're so close, she goes and says an idiot thing like that! :evil:

    If anything, she should've said "Vote Liberal" to try and stop Stephen Harper, because the Bloc have even LESS of a chance to stop Stephen Harper than the Liberals or NDP do.

    Margaret Atwood...would anyone actually be influenced
    sufficiently by this crone to vote as she "suggests" ?
    How spineless would such a person have to be ?

    She very clearly said that it was to block Harper, not because she wants Quebec to separate. In the context of the current political situation in Quebec, that's perfectly valid. Besides, how many soft separatists hove come and gone from the Conservative ranks over the years? Atwood hardly has the market cornered on appealing to that demographic for votes or political influence.

    Or perhaps, if it works and Harper is defeated, we should give her a second one!

    Everyone has the right to be stupid. Atwood is no exception.

    Nope, there is will never be a valid reason to try and get people to vote for treasonist scum.

    You are entirely correct. People who vote for the CONS should be hanged by the testes.
