ADQ a viable choice?
As the election trail has come to a close in Quebec, I'm reading about the results of the election. The ADQ has won 41 seats. The ADQ, being a party of such inconsistencies... Mr. Dumont says that Quebec should be more autonomous within Canada, and by achieving that, then we don't need to separate... But who Mr. Dumont ran the Oui campaign (to separate) in 1995 in Rivière-du-Loup? Why it was none other than... Mario Dumont!
And then we have his Conservative platform... Private health care, raising tuition fees. Most of the support that he gained were in the outskirts, the rural areas... Most of these areas are lower class to middle class... So, you people have voted in a party that doesn't give a rat's ass about funding the existing health care, which you probably need, and raising tuition fees, which you and/or your children may actually suffer from?
And also, we have Mr. Dumont's comment about how Quebec should stop bending over backwards for religious minorities. Canada is a country about accepting differences in the cultures. Though some communities may be a little too demanding in having their differences acknowledged, which is usually just a small fraction of people, they have decided to paint this picture to all minorities.
One of Mr. Dumont's MPs have made a comment about how Quebecers need to have more births so that Quebec isn't going to be inhabited by immigrants. Either the voters who voted for ADQ did not know this statement, this statement of blatant ignorance and hatred, or the voters actually feel this way themselves... If it is the former, then perhaps the next election, results will reflect this... If it is the latter, the people in Quebec have nothing to bitch about when the survey results show that 56% of Quebecers are racist. Voting in the ADQ clearly proves this.
The ADQ, in my opinion, is clearly not a viable choice... If this is an exercise of voting against both the Liberals and PQ, then it is a very poor one, since this vote was done out of revenge, and not out of thought. Green would have been a better vote against both the Liberal and PQ.
