Quebec's Interests

As we all are invited to have amnesia about why the Bloc Quebecois exist (we TROC people are too stupid obviously to understand the subtleties here), we still stubbornly note that, somewhere in what they laughably call a "Platform", is the following sentence no doubt in both languages so that we can all understand - We want Quebec to separate from Canada or some such weasel language, instead, at best. Lest we forget that when their miniature leader tells us that he's only here to protect Quebec's interests.

Where have we heard that before as we try to recover from a fog of cultural and historical amnesia no doubt created by almost 25 years of Unity and Clarity? Why,  Gilles Duceppe, that son of a clown who looked clownish in a cheese hat who, by 1997, the crisis of unity perhaps finally passed, realized that he needed to justify his existence to the usually flinty eyed voters of Quebec (of course, he felt he had nothing to justify to The Rest Of Canada). This especially as some people began to notice that some BQ mp's were more interested in their MP's salaries and privileges than they were in being the Champions of Separatism from Canada...in Ottawa. They were beginning to like just being there.

So, it worked for almost 15 years until Jack Layton and the NDP seemed to finally put a stake in the heart of this feckless vampire of Canadian politics in 2011. Most Quebeckers understood by this time that their interests did not need protection in Ottawa after 45 years of Ottawa granting indulgences to her on the constitution, language, ethnicity, energy, the environment, immigration and even foreign affairs. But now, much like his father, the PM's cowardice, leaderlessness and ineptitude especially in the campaign have incredibly revived the monster. Really, Hammer Films would have had trouble showing how the Young Frankenstein managed to do it.

And the barely loyal almost traitorous, rigorously unpatriotic Press (especially in TROC)  far from being horrified at this, seem to revel in this unwanted and dangerous freak development lap it up and only speculate about how those chump patriot money eanrers in Alberta or Saskatchewan will take it if their golden boy Scheer has to depend on the Bloc to govern. Yecch! While this Trudeau may do his father one better and invent a truly hardy and efficacious Western Separatist movement, too.
