August1991 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 If you can read French, read this - Harper is a good spokesperson for English Canada, but can he deliver? Le chef conservateur Stephen Harper était dans le même état d'esprit que Gilles Duceppe, disant regretté l'issue du vote de jeudi soir. Il estime que le résultat reflète la nécessité d'une forte opposition déterminée à remplacer le gouvernement. Selon lui, les résultats démontrent également que les fédéralistes avaient besoin de nouveaux champions au Québec puisque les députés du Bloc québécois ont été les seuls de la Belle Province à voter «contre la corruption». Il s'est d'ailleurs excusé auprès des Québécois pour ce résultat qui «maintient au pouvoir un gouvernement corrompu». J de M At this time, and for the next few years, English Canada needs honest people who can genuinely talk in its name without hidden meaning, or ulteriour motives. People who, as uni anglos, can speak honestly to politicians and people in Quebec. The purpose is not to win seats. The purpose is to make the northern part of North America work in a civilized manner. Layton's not bad but Harper is best. Like Mark Twain said, it's a question of telling the truth. I don't know how much experience people on this forum have had with different languages, and different cultures. Translation works best with simplicity, evidence and clarity of thought. If the idea is true, it is easy to translate. Quote

Layton is doing a good first job, but he`s a socialist. Quote
