The NDP wants to increase soverienty association and shut down the oil sands to bring manufacturing back, which is doublespeech. Manufacturing died because Asian country workers are willing to be slaves and Western world workers won't do it. Shutting down the oil sands would make us extremely poor because manufacturing is never coming back so we would have very little money and we would be giving even more of it to Quebec. NO THANK YOU. I enjoy having a job and not living in a society that is getting rocked by austerity programs and unemployment riots. I also enjoy living in a society where there is one less set of paperwork errors (the long gun registry) that can send me to jail

I feel this way and will always feel this way in what Im about to speak. Im sick and tired of hearing that Quebec is a distinct society and all this other crap. How come we need to learn French in school and learn the language in order to get a higher paying job in government. Its hypocrisy...... Why are we bending over backwards for them, if they want to separate see yaa!!!!!! I wont lose a seconds sleep over it. These politicians are only brainwashing those people in thinking they are better off and everybody knows its wrong. They need us a alot more than we need them. Au Revoir Quebec thanks for coming out and giving us abosolutely nothing in this country to contribute but a hockey team most everybody hates..... Are you gone yet........ Maybe we can relocate them all to St Pierre and they can take residence over there and be with their own kind. what a joke!!!!!!

In light of the Quebec election result, here's 2 ways to save a lot of money really fast: 1) Privatize the CBC whose French language service (Societe Radio Canada) is nothing but a separatist nest that supports the PQ at every opportunity. e.g. “reporter” Pierre Duchesne, just elected for the PQ, working for CBC until a few months ago. 2) Stop harassing competent Federal public servants by putting their jobs on the line just because they can't speak French well enough. BTW, does everyone know that the leaders of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) endorsed the PQ? When do the treason trials begin? At the very least, PSAC has shown itself to be a threat to the existence of Canada and should be banned from Ottawa.

I find it hard to understand why any sensible person would wish to break up the greatest country in the world? It is easy to destroy. It is not easy to build. LB

Guards whisked PQ leader Pauline Marois off the stage as handlers informed the partisan crowd there had been an explosive noise and they needed to clear the auditorium. — Canadian Press photo




Yeah, I'm trying to remember that German guy who also thought that banning unions was a good idea...
