selffish yes, but then again, like I think, wich politician is not selfish? Most of them are all power ungry. They rarelly do serious work in what the common folks realy want them to do. In 10 years of voting age, I never saw either provincial or federal representatives...They represent us??? I doubt it, but I could be wrong.
I can see trought Harper's game. He knows he can get majority thanks to Quebec, maybe even more then in Ontario. The proof, he probably was damn suprised (as well as the Bloc) when the whole Québec City region turned dark blue, from either red or light blue. Its called political credits, they always go for it. He probably knew that with is Québec is a nation thingy, he would not stir much in Québec, and might help give him some votes around here. The thing is, the people that less reacted to the motion...are Quebecers. We didn't really care about it. The big problem seems to be that the word Nation in english is not employed the same way as the french do. We say it as a cultural group as in the nation of Acadia, the Metis Nation, or the First Nations for exemple.
Basically what Harpy, Stephane «Celine» Dion, Jacky Boy and Ducy want is power, political credits, and they do what they do to get it. When I see this, I say «same old, same old»...or « La politique «cé» de la MARDE!!!»
