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

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

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

By ck, on March 6th, 2014

Finally, a voice of reason amongst the hysteria of the Quebec election campaign. It is that of Tom Mulcair on Power and Politics with Evan Solomon:

But speaking on CBC News Network’sPower & Politics, Mulcair added, “We shouldn’t be voting on only one issue — we should be looking at the overall offer . . . → Read More: Thomas Mulcair is Right — Quebec Voters Should Not Base Their Votes on a Single Issue

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!

Some Thoughts of the Quebec Election Aftermath

By ck, on September 6th, 2012

I waited to post on this subject because I was waiting to see ol’ Johnny Charest would resign or not. I confess that while the media was claiming to have “sources” from the inside saying he would go and others still who said he was gone, I wasn’t entirely sure he was going . . . → Read More: Some Thoughts of the Quebec Election Aftermath

Could Quebec Solidaire Obtain a Third Seat?

By ck, on September 1st, 2012

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, we know that co-leader of the Quebec Solidaire, Dr. Amir Khadir will maintain his seat in Mercier. Also, for a long time now, the near by riding of Gouin appeared to be a tight race between the Parti-Quebecois incumbent, Nicolas Girard and the other co-leader of Quebec Solidaire, Francoise . . . → Read More: Could Quebec Solidaire Obtain a Third Seat?

By ck, on November 10th, 2011

The by-election in the Gaspesie riding of Bonaventure will be held on December 5–less than a month from now. It’s a by-election, much like last year’s by-election in Kamouraska-Temiscouata, will be one to watch.

I had found the video of this young lady, Emilie Guimond-Belanger on the French version of the Facebook group, Demanding an inquiry of the G20. I did post the video in the much larger English group with the hopes of finding members who do understand French.
