Quebec has officially called an election. Well, Premier Charest did; not Quebec.
Whatever.
It's a waste.
After witnessing the debates to the speeches and everything in between in the U.S., Quebec politics seems petty and small. While the U.S. message is one of unity and progress, we in Quebec remain stagnant on cultural and linguistic nationalism.
With America we get a steady stream of historical and contemporary ideas and ideals that resonate around the world. A call to a "perfect union" and to "make things better" for the entire nation. Here? I'd rather not get into it. It's tiresome.
No wonder the majority of Canadians follow American politics closer. Maybe through it we dream one day Canada could speak and act in poetic existence like America.
