It wasn’t your an actual spam bot that ate my post, but I apparently mis-read or mis-typed the test graphic, and the characters on your blog are much more legible than the ones used by Google at Blogspot – sometimes I have to try a half dozen before I find one I think I can actually interpret. Some bot testers allow you to back click and the comment is still there, so you can try again. I never (up till now), back up comments for here, since I’m usually confident I have it right. But I guess with lengthier ones I will do so in future. Even just copying and keeping ready to paste, w/o actually making a copy until certain submission worked can save an otherwise lost effort.

Excellent article, with a lot of depth and very informative for a person unfamiliar with Quebec politics. My main source here is Harv Oberfeld, who has a real problem of blaming Quebeckers for all that is wrong with the world, though he grew up there, maybe that’s why he left, he didn’t really like it very much.

I am still spooked and disturbed by your Spiteful Steve predictions. Then again, perhaps if we just elect the worst everywhere, including RMoney to the south, the actual violent revolution that almost daily seems more likely to be the planet’s, or at least our species’, only hope for progressive and constructive change.

As JFK once said:

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

I’m really sorry to have missed your post. I would’ve liked to have read it. Had no idea I had a spambot problem.

” If ol’ Stevie Spiteful wins yet another election in 2015, which I think is highly likely”

and

“Even if by some miracle, the Harpercons lose in 2015,”

Thanks for ruining my previously lovely BC afternoon…………..

I wrote a really cogent, but lengthy comment, pretty much supporting your post, but yer goddam robot trap ate it, so you all lose, cuz I forgot to make a backup before I threw the dice and clicked submit…………and your robot trap ate it, too bad, so sad.

But the essence was it is refreshing to see a newly elected leader actually try to implement their policies right out of the gate, in spite of her tenuous grip on power. No wonder she is so unpopular outside of the jurisdiction that found her popular enough to, you know, actually elect her!
