Bernier is a total racist.
This is the same old problem with right wingers in this country - the racists in Quebec simply cannot get along with the racists in the rest of Canada. They hate each other too much.
First he needs to keep his seat.
This is great for the Liberals.
I've been thinking before he does that, maybe he should sign up for an English course somewhere, so we rubes in the hinterland can understand what he is saying!
You cant expect him to have good French just because he is from Ottawa. I'm from Sudbury and my French is almost non existent.
Do you support corporate welfare? He could probably attract even some principled socialists with a stance like that.
Not for keeping control of power like supporting Bombardier to pander for Libetal votes in Quebec.
I don't think that will be a problem in his riding, pete. This really pisses me off. This close to an election and once again the party is looking like a bunch of dolts that can't handle controversy with an ounce of grace. I don't lay this mess all at Max's feet either.
Depends. I could agree with letting foreigners work in Canada visa-free for example, but not to collect social assistance except for genuine refugees.
How do we determine whether or not they are refugees until they have have had a chance to have their cases heard? Canada is relatively civilized and is not going to let them starve while they wait.
This looks a lot like the usual "Protect Quebec's Culture At All Costs." The rest of Canada seems to have a much more lenient view of multiculturalism. For the most part it is only the Quebecois who seem to get really upset about modes of dress and the infusion of new customs into their culture.
Only if Bernier can pull enough voters his way if he manages to form a party. I think he has the potential to do so, but he could also wind up fading into obscurity and lose his own seat next year. I don’t really agree with him on much but he probably would have been a stronger and more effective leader than Scheer has been.
Hey, Chrétien got elected three times without that being a problem.
I find Max almost as insufferably arrogant as I did Jean at times.
Start his own party...that's funny.
Bernie party of one
And a quebeker at that.
Be interesting to se how he votes.
Better to get Scheer a French course.
For a guy born in Ottawa, that guy's French is atrocious.
Bernier could clean up Quebec just with this.
No one West of Ottawa gives a rats azz if he can speak a word of French. I will never vote for a party whose leader comes from Quebec.
What do you mean?
Disruptive fellow who didn't want Scheer as leader.
