    The effect of such a bill would make Bill 101 (French language charter in Quebec) apply to federal workplaces. While in other provinces only federal law would apply to federal industries, in Quebec language laws would apply. So at the same time these industries would have to comply with Bill 101 and crown corporations and former crown corps (such as CN, Air Canada and VIA Rail) also with the federal Official Languages Act, two acts with totally different objectives.

    Once you start down this slippery slope other provinces would want similar treatment for their key issues. And it would allow Quebec control over FJ just by changing Bill 101.

    And the Liberal critic on official languages, Pablo Rodriguez, said the party might support Mulcair's bill.

    But yesterday, Liberal MP Marlene Jennings told me she would speak against Mulcair's bill in the party caucus before a vote in the Commons on the principle of the bill.

    So Mulcair's bill might cause one more division in a party that hardly needs any more.


    A rift in the Liberal party? I suppose that's the good news. :lol: It would certainly pit Libs in Quebec against those in ROC. And it also gives us an idea of what life would have been like under the "Coalition".

    Ok, I am officially declaring myself no longer a NDP supporter. What the fuck is wrong with them? They came from rational arguements and ideas to sucking any liberals and sepretists dick just to get support. Now this crap?

    Conservatives here I come, *awaits liberals insults*. ;)

    Hey that's the only reason Conservatives ever get into office anyways: the center gets tired of supporting one of the other two. <shrugs> it's the only reason I voted conservative. Iggy's lack of a compelling platform is the only reason I haven't switched again. Could change at any time.

    Hardheaded allegence to one single party based on upbringing or adherence to dogma is an enemy of democracy, open debate and progress.

    As much as I do not like it I might have to vote for the cons and hold my nose while I do it .

    I agree I support bills simply by what the bills contain, who introduced it is of no concern to me. I vote Conservatives because they are more likely to introduce bills that I support vs Liberals or NDP
