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 the rest of Canada seem to believe that if the Harpercons get their majority, especially if they get no seats or precious little in La Belle province, that this potential scenario would provide the winning conditions for a sovereignty referendum. Sounds about right to me! Because of that, I contend that a vote for the Harpercons is a vote for the break up of Canada.
Excellent (as Montgomery Burns might say) – I guess I’ll vote liberal after all, since Gilles doesn’t run candidates in my riding and since he always seems the most intelligent person to show up at the debates.
Actually, I think your suggestion of a HarperCon majority with little, or only goofballs like Max “I like to hang out with biker chicks and gangster molls” Bernier, being more conducive to a renewed momentum to separatism is bang on. If Quebec should secede, would they please invade and annex British Columbia as a territory?
By the way (speaking of flakes from Quebec), what’s with not so Gorgeous Guergis this time around, is she running as an Independent or something?

Guergis is running as an “independent conservative”, much, I suspect, like Andre Arthur…conservative in everything but name only. Since being kicked out of Harpercon reindeer games, she has been voting with the Harpercons just like Andre Arthur does.
