The Poison: Francois Legault

Quebec Premier Francois Legault has shown himself to be quite the petty tyrant.

Show me a crisis and I'll show you a leader who truly respects the law and his people.

Legault is not that man.

He's a man who is long on political moxy, arrogance and audacity and short on decency, compassion and courtesy. 

During the second leg of the Covid farce, Legault has used the emergency power provision for his own political purposes.

Scoundrels never let a crisis go to waste and Fankie boy is taking full advantage.

If we were truly mired in a serious health crisis, Legault and Trudeau would not be ham fisting through their little dictatorial Bills that at the end of the will erode individual rights.

Bill C-10 will prove a disaster for Canadian free speech, while the tightening of Bill 101 will only irritate a population on edge.

Legault has no respect for the tone of a society. 

C'est lui le boss. A Boss Hogg of the deep south vain.

The problem with what the divisive CAQ are doing - a party that is inexplicably popular - is twice Legault has invoked the notwithstanding clause which is a veto power given to Quebec meant to be used only in extraordinary circumstances. Not to be used for bigoted bills like 22 and 101. 

When the clause was given, it was a cop out by Canada. Observers noted this will one day be abused by Quebec. A place with a knack for producing demagogues and corruption that would make the Chicago Way, Tammany Hall and Huey Long proud.

Quebec simply doesn't enrich Canada where ideas and ideals of liberty are concerned. Quebec is good to subvert the individual to the collective.

Like communists.

This is Quebec. The pandemic showed its true colors: Scared, anti-science, nationalistic and authoritarian.

And don't expect Canada to come to the defense of freedom. We have gutless and useless politicians. Justin is a meek wanna be totalitarian who sports a beard reminiscent of nihilists and socialists who met in cafes in revolutionary Russia or that could mesh well on a beach in Cuba, O'Toole is a wishy-washy, white bread uncharismatic tool, Singh is nothing but a lazy, bigoted moron who sprouts unsubstantiated crap as he props up one of the most corrupted and incompetent governments I've seen yet in my lifetime (and that includes U.S. administrations),  the Bloc are, well, regional block heads who should thank God they get to steal a Canadian pension as they work to undermine the country, and beyond that (sure there are exceptions. Polievre, Sloan, Hillier, Bernier and maybe one or two others but that's a tiny sample in a nation of 37.4 million) we may as well have a bunch of mannequins sitting in Parliament. What are they good for exactly besides giving themselves pay raises for doing absolutely nothing? When the country needed true guidance, the impostors gave them lockdowns and beatdowns. Nw that the county turns its weary and lonely eyes to, well, anyone, the country turns its back and cowers like the apathetic bunch of losers we really are.

Stand on guard for thee my ass. When you let yourself be pistol whipped by a weasel like Legault, you're not a country but a collective mast of people who merely exist with nary a sense of identity or principles.

We are, at it is heart, but a 'geographic expression' to borrow a term from Metternich. And that includes Quebec and its self-inflated over bearing sense of 'distinct society'.

Legault is a poison to all things enlightened.

It's been a few years I've been contemplating leaving Quebec. I always thought it would be the PQ that drive me out with a final nail to finish off the last bunch of Anglos who stayed after 1976. But it's looking like the CAQ will be the one to do it.
