Is Anyone Capable of Critical Thinking? Does Anyone Even Care?

By ck, on April 7th, 2014

Well, it looks like a Quebec Liberal majority and the PQ are collapsing to 2007 numbers. Quebec Solidaire has shown some improvement in vote count but not in seats. It seems that the biggest hope for Ste-Marie-St-Jacques, Manon Masse of Quebec Solidaire will not win her seat, although it is still early and . . . → Read More: Is Anyone Capable of Critical Thinking?

Why This Anglo Supports Quebec Solidaire and So Should Other Progressive Anglos

By ck, on March 30th, 2014

Well, boys n girls, one week before the election. Advanced polling starts today. After the sparring on Facebook and Twitter with other Quebec Anglos who are progressive as to why the Quebec Liberal Party doesn’t deserve our votes and that yes, there is indeed a choice in voting. Yup, I’ve heard all the . . . → Read More: Why This Anglo Supports Quebec Solidaire and So Should Other Progressive Anglos

By ck, on March 23rd, 2014

Well, no, not really part d’uh. I’m just resurrecting this snarky, satirical and sarcastic post I did 4 years ago with the help of a Montreal friend, Karl, with an update or 2. I thought it would be fitting to resurrect during this fine election campaign. Because every election campaign is in dire . . . → Read More: Come Join the Dark Side!

Thursday Night’s Quebec Election Leader’s Debate and The Power of Misinformation

By ck, on March 22nd, 2014

I’m a bit late giving my opinions here, but here goes.

First off, for those who complained or mocked Pauline Marois for being, shall we say, animated, would you rather a debate where everybody is standing still like statues and speaking in a monotonic voice? Perhaps where they all basically agreed with each . . . → Read More: Thursday Night’s Quebec Election Leader’s Debate and The Power of Misinformation

Much Talk Over Latest Leger Poll on Quebec Election. Too Bad It’s More Than Likely About Nothing

By ck, on March 15th, 2014

A recent poll had come out putting Dr. Phil’s Liberals and Pauline Marois’s PQ virtually neck and neck with the CAQ support slipping. Many of the columnists and pundits have claimed, for the most part, that this poll is the result of Marois and Peladeau jr sovereignty referendum talk. There are some that . . . → Read More: Much Talk Over Latest Leger Poll on Quebec Election. Too Bad It’s More Than Likely About Nothing

Pierre Karl Peladeau’s So-Called Economic Credibility and PQ Becomes a Pro-Corporate Party Like Everyone Else

By ck, on March 15th, 2014

After reading through a week’s worth of news articles, columnists and the twitter machine, there appears to be one common theme; Peladeau Jr. was recruited to provide economic credibility to the Parti-Quebecois to mainly the business community. Furthermore, according to a PQ campaign ad, Pauline Marois is featured alone walking a hallway (which . . . → Read More: Pierre Karl Peladeau’s So-Called Economic Credibility and PQ Becomes a Pro-Corporate Party Like Everyone Else

Thomas Mulcair is Right — Quebec Voters Should Not Base Their Votes on a Single Issue

By ck, on March 6th, 2014

Quebec Election 2014; Not Much to See, But Watch The Fun of Watching Many Diving Into Their Fainting Couches!

By ck, on March 5th, 2014

Aaaarrrrggghhhh!! She blows! La Marois went and did what many were predicting she’d do — she called an election for April 7 — a short campaign at that. Polls seem to indicate that La Marois and the PQ are primed to win a majority. Already many, particularly the Angryphone set are all choking . . . → Read More: Quebec Election 2014; Not Much to See, But Watch The Fun of Watching Many Diving Into Their Fainting Couches!

Move over Quebec Charter of Values…there’s a new scandal in town! This time, it’s in the form of more corruption being found in the Quebec Liberal Party and Philippe Couillard is in the hot seat!

Dear Apologists and cheerleaders,

You all keep saying “Let’s see what the Investigation turns up on the Lac-Megantic disaster” or “Before we do anything, or add new regulations, the investigation isn’t over!” Or my personal favourite “Blame the Fire fighters!” Or blame the lone conductor!! Off to the fainting couches with you!!

Just a few comments and observations regarding today.

By ck, on September 23rd, 2012

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

Boys ‘n’ girls, it looks like ol’ Franky Legault is confirming one of my predictions and worst fears. It appears that ol’ Franky Legault is in even more of a hurry for the Liberals to select a permanent leader than they are.

I waited to post on this subject because I was waiting to see ol’ Johnny Charest would resign or not.

The Quebec Election and What It Means

By Logan, on September 5th, 2012

Let’s get the first fact out of the way: separatists are the government in the province of Quebec.
