Lies, Lies, and Semi-Interesting Untrue Tales...

That's right! I ain't dead, just too lazy to update this thing....


Well, I've just finished watching the leaders debate for the upcoming election. I'm still unwaiveringly behind the Conservatives and in a perfect world many in the Liberal government would be locked away for eternity (although under the Liberal watch the justice system has deteriorated to the point that they would only get two weeks at "club fed").

What really confuses me is the Bloq Quebecois. No, confuses is the wrong word. Enrages is more apt.

Gilles Duceppe spent most of the second half of the debate yammering about how Quebec should seperate from Canada. Haven't they already tried this? More than once??? You'd think that they would be able to take the hint. Or maybe it's just the radical few that wish for seperation and they are the only ones with the ambition to run for office and whatever it takes to get in the position to think that you know what everyone wants. Everyone else is just too lazy to do anything until the last moment and with the least amount of effort to stop it, i.e. voting.

I say that if anything, Quebec owes us...Big Time! The English beat the snot out of the French in that war that i think was on the Plains of Champlane. Instead of taking over, they generously allowed 'Upper Canada' to keep their language and lifestyle. I have to wonder, if they were to know what is happening now, would they be so generous.

And another thing. How can the Bloq be considered a federal party? Nevermind that their primary goal is to break up Canada, but it doesn't represent any other part of Canada besides Quebec. It doesn't even try. They don't run a single candidate outside Quebec. How the hell can these guys form an effective party representing Canadians, let alone an objective opposition party?

The fact that these jokers got a place in the national debate is laughable. And the fact that they were in the debate and the Green party, who runs candidates across the country, is simply insane. Some may argue that the Green party is not credible because they haven't had an elected MP, but by excluding them from a national forum to get their message accross, it is simply being assured that they never will.

Another fact I found amusing was pointed out on the news immediately following the debate. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives plan to hold a free vote in the house of commons on the same-sex marriage debate (which I don't neccessarily support or even care about). Duceppe and the Bloq (along with nearly every other party) oppose this idea. Duceppes' reason is that a free vote was already held and that there is no reason to revisit the issue. But the Bloq wants to hold another referendum for Quebec seperation as soon as possible, an issue that has already been voted down twice.

I also liked how several times Paul Martin (and others) were asked point blank a question twice and they danced around it and didn't even come close to trying to answer it. Doesn't that put great faith in you for our candidates?

Just something for the no one who will read this to think about...
