Take back the power says Paul Jackson

Paul Jackson has been on about Quebec separation lately, and how that might just be the ticket to our salvation as a nation.  Today he has a slightly different idea: get Harper and Duceppe together and reform Canada into what it was supposed to be.

It was Trudeau’s heavy hand that spurred the election of Rene Levesque’s Parti Quebecois to power in 1976. If the Liberals had left Quebecers well alone to run their own affairs, the independence movement would have remained just a small group of radicals with some poets and singers echoing their dreams.

Martin’s hypocrisy would be further noted by the fact Transport Minister Jean Lapierre—Martin’s Quebec lieutenant—was a founder of the Bloc and a Bloc MP before being wooed by the Grits.

So, Martin himself sees nothing wrong in making useful alliances with sovereigntists.
