The Québec's media has been taken over by the Gomery inquiry from the beginning. But now it's even more. One of our multiple CNN like TV channel (LCN, --) is now broadcasting each day of this inquiry live, from the start of the day until the end. It has been followed in every details by an average 150,000 people (proven mostly Quebecers), and statistic also says that the listener follows it from the beginning to the end of the today. It is also really present in all French canadian TV channels, in the news, and so it is in every Québecers mouth. It is really clear that this inquiry has an effect on the intention of vote toward a Liberal party, either provincial or federal because it is mainly the same.
It is proven by the inquiry that there is people from our own provincial Liberal party that have been taken an active part in this scandal. The feds brought into criminal courts the business man that have been in this scandal THE DAY AFTER their names were raised in the Gomery commission. Since the inquiry explicitly told that the feds have been receiving money from these business man, nothing. Feds argument is: "We want to wait the end of the inquiry."
Wut???? Are they really getting away with this???
It clearly shows that there is two different law, one for the people and one for the government. Please post a comment if you see something else!
Quebecers can't see this inquiry end without anyone paying for what happened, and we are talking about politicians, not business sharks because we already know who they are and they already being charge criminaly.
Most reporters and politics observers agreed that this inquiry is not followed, by the rest of the Canada, like it is in Québec. This tell us a simple thing, English Canada just doesn't care (at least that's the image we get).
For the Québecois, it is really hard to understand the poor attention this inquiry gets from the English Canada. That simple fact raises a lot of concerns among Québécois.
Why are they not interested? Is the English media is a bit like the Americans? Does your total belief in federalism is so strong that you can't, or won't, see that there is a big problem? Do you really agree with Chretien clearly saying: "The unity of our country doesn't have a price, the goals justify the means."?
One of the reason this inquiry gets a lot of attention from mainly French Québécois is that it is directed by a very great guy, M.Gomery. He is becoming a real icon over here! He's an English Canadian, that does his best to speak French (which is already really appreciated!), and therefore highly respected in Québec. Quebecers really connects to him because his agenda is exactly what we want, the thruth! Sure he is a good image for the English Canada, but sadly, the only one!
We know we put a lot on Gomery's shoulder to sort this organized mess out, and right know he's doing a great job. It is a major issue here. Having no politician pay (see Chrétien) the price, would just accelerate the separatist movement, and giving them amazing arguments! A real gift from the god for the BQ! And they are not hiding it, they are planning to reverse this government at the beginning of september, probably with some allies.
But the liberals are not dumb! They already call out that they are going to lower our "impots" to counter the effect of this inquiry.
That is really taking Quebecers for dumbasses.
I really want to know the opinion from English Canada on what I said. Thanks.
