Ignatieff kissing Quebec butt already

[Mr.Canada]

Here's and article in the T.O Star showing Ignatieff going to Charest asking him what he can do to buy Quebec support. Quebec seems to go to the highest bidder.

Well the Ignatieff era will more Liberal pandering while ignoring the rest of the country. The butt kissing has begun.

Sorry Mr Canada Jr., the Conservative kiss Quebec's butt thousand time over already. Baird announced in Parliament to shut the Bloc up that Quebec had gotten more money than they asked for!!

[Oleg Bach]

What - they got more than what they asked for yet ask for more? Looks like it will be never ending - is anyone starting to feel like a cow with sore tits?

[Moonbox]

Everyone wastes money on Quebec. Every party is guilty for it.

It sickens me whatever party is doing it. There's a reason the province is a have-not, despite their immense resources and ideally located population.....

Look at the first demands of the Block - tons of cash for post secondary Quebec students and univeristies - mean while we have York U shut down. Maybe they are looking forward into the future were French Quebec will be educated and the rest of the nation will not be - that could be a long term power move.

I can only hope with an additional 30 seats going to Ontario, Alberta, and BC, fewer and fewer politicians will continue this experiment in sado-masochism.

Quite frankly Quebec will never separate, not necessarily because they love Canada, but because the province has unfortunately become completely dependent on the rest of Canada economically.

It is nice to see a well balanced statement.

Yes but only Harper has the courage to take away it's public funding which would crush them. However the three parties banded together to save the separatists. This is unacceptable. IF they want to separate why should it be financed by the Canadian Taxpayer?

Really? When did that happen?

So you are against western separatists too?

[Mr.Canada]

Yes, really. I'm sure you remember the Fiscal statement made by the Minister. After that the coalition was born because Mr. Harper was going to cut public funding for ALL parties including his own. In fact, the Tories would take the biggest hit.

Yes, I'm against all separatists.

Harper wasn't trying to crush the Bloc...he was trying to crush all his political opposition, so he can finally win a majority and not have to worry about a troublesome opposition so he can follow an ideological agenda....which I'm sure would make the Regressive Religious Right in the country very happy....all 10 or 15% of them.

Ok then, why should tax dollars go toward funding any political parties including the Tories?

How about that Separatist that Harper Appointed to the Senate. There is no other way for a Separatist to get to the Senate unless the Prime Minister appoints.

Kissy Kissy.

[Mr.Canada]

That's what I thought. No answer and deflection.

[madmax]

Its you that are deflecting. My position of political party funding is on record since November the 6th. That is you directing your own thread away from Quebec Butt Kissing as you put it.

KISSY KISSY

HOW ABOUT THAT PATRONAGE APPOINTMENT FOR THE SEPARTIST?

Good Eh

No to the rest of Canada he is a Separatist in Quebec he a double crosser who ran for the Reform in 2000. It was just not a great appointment.

Campaigned for Separation..... But Separtists have ties to the Conservatives so this isn't shocking.

[wulf42]

What need really need to do is tell Quebec "you don't get anymore than the rest of the country if you don 't like it...then get out!! France will have you"

Harpers choice was to give Quebec Separtists a SENATE SEAT. Something a Separtist couldn't receive without his Blessing and Support.

Why should funding be given to political parties?

1) With funding being provided it dimishes the influence of special interests and lobbyists.

2) It opens up the democratic process to those less afluent.

Now...you don't have to agree with those points, but those are 2 key reasons. Obviously the Conservatives under Harper don't agree with them...or with providing funding for things like court challenges on Charter Rights issues, or women's groups. Only those with $$$ should be able to participate fully.

How? I don't see it have any effect on the less affluent one way or another.

[M.Dancer]

Why should funding be given to political parties?

Because it dimishes the need for parties to actualy engage the general public and to listen to them.
