Well, well, well... Look at the tea calling the kettle black...

I just read an article regarding the Conservatives' motion to recognize Quebec as an independent nation within Canada. At first, the leader of the Bloc Quebecois was against this motion, but now he, has taken Quebec's best interest at heart, and now supports what Harper is doing...

This of course, is coming from our Prime Minister, the man who six months ago, called the Liberals, who were still in power, a dirty party because they had the support of the Bloc for the Gay Marriage bill... My my, Mr. Harper, isn't the tea calling the kettle black... You openly declared that Bill C-38 was Separatist legislation, because it had the support of the Bloc, and that you would never side with the Bloc... But what are you doing now? You're siding with the Bloc. Well, I suppose technically, if one looked at the English language grammar definition, you're not siding with the Bloc. It's the reverse, the Bloc are siding with you. So, technically speaking, you're not siding with them, and therefore you are fine... In my books, this is exactly the same thing as siding with them. It takes two sides to come together...

Yet another election promise you've broken, Mr. Harper. Good job.

Some political people say that by doing so, he has eliminated the need of the Bloc Quebecois, which is a wise move, since that way, people in Quebec will have one less choice for the federal election, and thus, he can steal support from the Bloc in order to finally achieve his majority government. What I see is that the Bloc will still exist, but now, instead they will even have more power, because they will already have the status of a "nation" within Canada. They will keep pushing for a referandum, and then when they get their vote (which I hope they never get), they'll even have more firepower! Don't get me wrong, I love Quebec, and I think their culture is very, very unique. I like their culture a lot as well. I just think that separating is the wrong way to go about keeping the culture. I think the way for them to keep their culture alive is by bringing it to other parts of Canada, to other parts of the world. That would be a more positive way, in my opinion. This was also the approach that Jean Charest has taken.
