By ck, on September 23rd, 2012

Pauline Marois had a very busy first day of school, boys ‘n’ girls.

Trying To Understand Politics In Quebec These Days–Part 1–Is Sovereignty Really Dead? The Potential Resurrection of Gilles Duceppe

By ck, on November 30th, 2011

I had heard nothing from the federalist media, particularly from those from the right who say nothing but sovereignty is dead in la belle province. The evidence they have? Well, some polls, which I do take with a grain of salt–the usual suspects–Leger Marketing. Sadly, that is all most Quebecers have to work . . . → Read More: Trying To Understand Politics In Quebec These Days–Part 1–Is Sovereignty Really Dead? The Potential Resurrection of Gilles Duceppe

And Now, Let the Leadership Race Games Begin…But Before That, Let’s View The Quebec Challenge

By ck, on August 29th, 2011

Speculation regarding Jack Layton’s successor had already begun within days following his death. Personally, I thought it was in poor taste. Kind of predatorial, really. I mean, couldn’t we bury Jack first before getting to this new business? Anyway, it’s all now in full swing as of today and as Jean Lapierre mentioned . . . → Read More: And Now, Let the Leadership Race Games Begin…But Before That, Let’s View The Quebec Challenge

End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority

By ck, on May 1st, 2011

We have no arrived at the end of the road of election 41 campaign. We have been polled, tweeted, newsed, etc. Before I go on, I would like to review all the party’s campaigns briefly.

Once Again, Bill 101 Is a Provincial Matter, Quibbling Over Dumb Slogans And Reviving The Linguistic War As A Campaign Strategy

By ck, on April 13th, 2011

I’ve got to stop reading the likes of anti-feminist Babs Kay when I’m drinking hot coffee. I invariably end up choking, burning myself and getting it all over the place. Perhaps today is the day I learn.

Before I start hammering her, I have to ask, what was the deal with Gilles Duceppe . . . → Read More: Once Again, Bill 101 Is a Provincial Matter, Quibbling Over Dumb Slogans And Reviving The Linguistic War As A Campaign Strategy

“Parlons Quebec”–Sure, Let’s Talk Quebec–After April 15, Perhaps?

By ck, on April 10th, 2011

Lately, the Bloc Quebecois have been seeing their polling numbers drop by pretty much every polling firm these days. While they still hold a commanding lead, and 308.com’s last seat projections pretty much have the Bloc remaining in tact, with one gainp–Portneuf-Jacques-Cartier currently held by independent Conservative, Andre Arthur. So, why are the . . . → Read More: “Parlons Quebec”–Sure, Let’s Talk Quebec–After April 15, Perhaps?

A Vote For The Liberals Is a Vote For the Bloc? How Does That Work?

By ck, on April 8th, 2011

Yes, a very stupid Harpercon incumbent, Brian Jean, in Alberta tweeted this today.

… Every vote for the Liberals is a vote for the Bloc. Vote conservative and keep Canada together.

More blackmail and he’s failing miserably at it.

The reality is that most pundits in Quebec, including Chantal Hebert, and many in . . . → Read More: A Vote For The Liberals Is a Vote For the Bloc? How Does That Work?

Gilles Duceppe’s Brilliant Move–Most Completely Miss The Ball, Including Andre Pratte, It Appears

By ck, on February 23rd, 2011

Indeed he did, last night. As if writing for La Presse wasn’t enough, he needed to further poison the rest of Canada against the Bloc Quebecois in the Grope & Fail. As usual, like the other right wingnut faction, they miss the ball or don’t even attempt to think of Gilles Duceppe’s recent . . . → Read More: Gilles Duceppe’s Brilliant Move–Most Completely Miss The Ball, Including Andre Pratte, It Appears
