CPC: All Wrong About Quebec
As was Ignatieff, but I digress.
As the CPC plummets to only a dozen percentage points in this province, Quebecers have to wonder if all the grief has been for naught. The last six weeks of the leadership race were marred by idiotic discussions and disputes about Quebec nationhood. No blame, but we all know where this originated.
So, the CPC, having trouble with an original thought of their own, decideds that NATION is the key to winning hearts and minds of Quebecers - of a certain background anyway. Lo and behold, Steve steals Iggy's fire and snags the nation thing right out from under him. It's passed in the House. The CPC follows this ass-kissing excerise with a money-dropping tour of CPC ministers in Quebec. The CPC emphasises their commitment by having ministers speak even more French in the house than even 101 would mandate in Quebec.
And WHERE has this gotten them? The numbers speak for themselves.

right and gay marraige and the environment have NOTHING to do with that.
Let's not forget, with the two parties on the same page in terms of the nation, Quebecers can choose the more progressive one.
Antonio, I daresay the Afghan mission might have something else to do with it. And you are just proving my point: The nation thing was NOT all that important. You and I BOTH KNOW THAT!While you and other were on about how Iggy is the ONLY one really in touch with Quebecers, other people suggested that the environment, econony, etc. might be more important to Quebecers. Have you changed your mind about the extreme importance of this? It all seems pretty stupid now.
no it doesnt
had the party said no, we would never hear the end of it
why do people remember meech, cuz it didnt pass
Sinestra. Bang on.
Antonio - so why then did Ignatieff place so much risk on the party (and the cournty) for an idea that generated mixed results?
My take is that it was a lack of foresight, and that no amount of Iggy spin in retrospect will convince me otherwise.
This was just a bad idea. The Ignatieff advisors in Quebec should share in this responsibility and then move on.
Thankfully the Liberal party kind of dodged a bullet at Convention, even though most of caucus was drawn in to betting on the "wrong horse". Consituents now know whether their Liberal MPs are leaders or followers
And why did 83% of Liberal delegates surveyed and 83% of Canadians in general disagree with the LPCQ resolution?!?
Get over it Antonio. Michael is a friend of mine, but the gamble played against him and his strategists led him astray.
Chantal Hebert continues to fuel this fire in the national media and she is becoming embarassing to read anymore.
Dion is our leader and we're best to rally behind the man that helped us win 37 seats with Mr. Chretien in Quebec.
