Boges Posted August 1, 2012 Report Posted August 1, 2012 What an effing moron! http://www.thestar.com/sports/london2012/article/1234916--london-2012-pq-links-quebec-athletes-olympic-medal-haul-to-independence-debate MONTREAL—The leader of the pro-independence Parti Quebecois couldn’t resist drawing some political lessons from the fact that Canada’s first four Olympic medals have been won by Quebecers.PQ Leader Pauline Marois called it just one example of how Quebec could shine among the world’s brightest on the world stage, as an independent country. She was responding to a question at a press conference about the four bronze medals, all won by Quebec athletes. Marois was holding that news conference to introduce PQ election candidates. It’s expected that a provincial election will be called Wednesday for Sept. 4, and according to surveys Marois will enter the campaign as the slight favourite to become premier. A reporter asked Marois for a reaction to the medals in diving, judo and weightlifting. In her response, she linked the results to her own cause. “I’d like to congratulate Quebec’s athletes. We’re always so proud when we see them rise to the podium,” Marois replied Tuesday. “I was telling someone earlier: I was education minister and there were also Olympics for professional training and Quebec would always win more medals than the other provinces. I was always very proud of that. Yeah because those athletes received no support from the Federal government and private sponsor from elsewhere in the country or anything. Quote

Topaz Posted August 1, 2012 Report Posted August 1, 2012 In the latest poll it shows Quebec's next election, the PQ in a minority government and perhaps a majority. Harper better increase his meds, cause this could get nasty. Of course, if Harper wants Alberta is leave Canada, like the reformers have said in the past, he may help the PQ to leave. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/quebec-poll-election-call-points-narrow-separatist-win-131858880.html Quote
