Je ne suis pas souverainiste à l'heure actuelle. Je l'ai été, j'ai voté OUI par le passé. Je suis d'avis que pour le moment, ce n'est pas le temps idéal de devenir indépendant.
Mais quand j'entends les inepties du ministre Girard, j'ai l'impression qu'on me prend pour une valise. Ce n'est pas ça qui me motiverait à voter NON à un référendum.

Selon Eric Girard La perspective référendaire coûtera au moins 100 millions sur cinq ans

(Québec) La menace d’un référendum sur la souveraineté du Québec a déjà un impact sur les finances publiques, dit le ministre des Finances. Les coûts d’emprunt sont en hausse d’au moins 20 millions par année en raison de l’incertitude politique. Le PQ réplique qu’il s’agit de mensonges.

I've long considered the connexion of Law and Morality to be weak and tenuous.

After listening to this survival-cannibalism-on-the-high-seas story by Judge Coleridge in 1870 and the attendant murder convictions, my opinion gets categorically worse. Pictures at 11.

Had a chat with a film critic who claimed Peter #Thiel completely misread Rene #Girard. And he's right, although 'misread' is much too generous. Thiel didn't misinterpret Girard, more like reverse engineered him.

Girard explained that human desire is imitative, contagious as well as violent. We scapegoat to keep the mob from tearing itself apart. Thiel read that & thought, "great! a growth strategy!" Instead of engaging Girard like a philosopher, he harvested him like intellectual IP.
