Democracy! Quebec Style

Quebec is making the international rounds again.

Anglo media conspiracy!

66% of Quebecers (mostly in the hinterlands I hope. If not, people who simply have not thought this through enough) think Quebec is on the "right track" with this nonsense. And they say Americans are ignorant and parochial?

The majority say it's time to jump off the bridge! You know who else enjoyed the support of the people?

Wait. If you think STM workers were already rude to English-speakers, the PQ basically told society it's open season on religious symbols. Let's appeal to our most tribal thoughts and dumbasses in our civil discourse. Great idea.

/golf clap.

Wanna know how full of shit the PQ are?

Health Minister Rejean Hebert:

"We saw the same reaction in the debate leading up to Bill 101,” Hébert said. “And the anticipated exodus did not happen. So I am not worried.”

Yup. He said that. It's in the 'Pas vrai' bin of Quebec revisionism.

500 000 Anglos left Quebec with them followed major corporations. It was there Toronto once and for all became the permanent economic capital of Canada. Notice the subtle "fuck you because we say so you cry babies."

Now I know what it must have felt to be a liberal-thinking individual in the deep, segragated south in the 40s and 50s.

First up:

Huffington Post. Marois gets the award for 'Most. Punchable. Face.' Who argued her piece of crap would "unite" Quebecers. This is how delusional and flippant she and her party are.

Next up. New York Times.

The Economist is set to tackle the issue and I'm sure other countries will weigh in. 

Cue the violin and charges of fear-mongering from the nationalists.
