Election Day

March 26, 2007 @ 09:03

I guest to some extent I'm a bit of a weirdo when it comes to politics. I woke up this morning with a mild case of the butterflies because of today's Quebec election

That's a great thing about satellite or cable television today, you can tune into local channels right across the country, and I plan on doing that tonight when the election results start to come in from Canada's most selfish province.

It really is a sad statement on this country when we have to be on edge because one of our biggest pieces continuously threatens separatism. It's a type of leverage that drives me nuts because our country is at stake.

Just when we think we've rid ourselves of peckerheads like Rene Levesque, Lucien Bouchard and Bernard Landry along comes a freak like PQ Leader Andre Boisclair who's yapping about another referendum.

But it cuts a little deeper this time because the Action Democratique Party has become rather formidable and although leader Mario Dumont says he has no plans to push for a referendum, his party still leans towards a more autonomous Quebec and you just have to wonder if he'll become more radical as he becomes more powerful.

At the very least, having the ADQ exist creates a parking lot for soft nationalists, and that affects Jean Charest and the Liberals.

I was listening to Bill Carroll on CFRB this morning and he mentioned how the politics in Quebec becomes obsessive with people. His wife Sylvie was raised in Quebec and for the past couple of weeks his phone has been ringing off the hook with Sylvie's relatives wanting to talk about the election because as nationalists they're apprehensive.

Bill says it was politics that drove his wife out of the province because she just couldn't take it any more, and obviously she's not alone because thousands upon thousands have done the same thing.

But that's not to say you can ever escape it, because none of us can. As long as there's the threat of a separatism in Quebec it costs all Canadians, which was proved last week in the federal budget.

A couple of weeks ago while at The Bell Centre for The Leafs and Habs game I was appalled to see french Canadians in my section refuse to stand-up for the Canadian National Anthem.

They just sat in their seats defiantly. It was pathetic.

When an American team comes to town, I wonder if they actually stand up to pay their respects to the Star Spangled Banner and then sit down when O'Canada commences.

Or, do they ingorantly remain seated for both.

Aw, this is such a top quality write-up. In fact I'd like to write like that as well - taking real energy in making a very good article... nevertheless what can I say... I procrastinate all the time and never appear to get something completed...

Nice that Lindsay Lohan is getting absolutely serious when it comes to herself, she should have treatment like Mel Gibson should get a doctor, with luck , lindsay may not get freed from rehabilitation ahead of time now as being freed early from UCLA was possibly the main factor why the lady relapsed so easily in the 1st place, i am only praying for you personally completely Lindsay, I truly you can actually beat your obsessions.

To appropriately reword comments, you have to be creative and even more creative. Convince the author that even though the content is very unoriginal, it's still content they need displayed on their Ambit Energy Consultant site.

I am not gonna lie, you have lost me here. I realize that you just meant well and you clearly know what youre referring to, but I cant say that I get where youre coming from. In case you want people to fully grasp your points, you should take into consideration the other side of the argument, as well. Youve got a wealth of knowledge, Ill give you that. But, really frankly, you turned me off with your tone.

Before you can appropriately rephrase comments, you have to be creative and unique. Convince the author that even though the statement is very generic, it's still something they want posted on their Texas electric companies site.
