Meanwhile, Quebecers' alternatives are the separatist PQ party (nobody there wants to separate anymore), and a Liberal party that's in disarray without a leader, following a finance mess.

Trying to think of a prominent francophone leader who could drop into the Liberal party, like how Charest dropped in and won.

I wonder if Steven Guilbeault, who resigned from the federal cabinet would consider it? He's a green/enviro guy. Could be a fundamental change for the province!

Fear, relief, anguish: Reliving the emotion of the 1995 Quebec referendum

Thirty years after the 1995 referendum, when Quebecers came within a hair’s breadth of voting to leave Canada, those who lived through it still remember the emotion of that time. They recall the drama of an unpredictable campaign, the fears and frustrations, and the relief — or anguish — when it was all over. One of the people watching the results on Oct. 30 that year was an 18-year-old college student, just old enough to have voted “yes” to separation. He was at a friend’s house with about 30 other students, dressed in a blue shirt bearing the fleur de lys. “We felt like we were about to witness a historic moment,” said Paul St-Pierre Plamondon in a recent interview. “And later that evening, we felt like a historic moment had slipped through our fingers.”

How short sighted is this? When do politicians learn prevention is almost always cheaper than treatment

Or is this playing to a RW base that cannot remember any science or the benefits of vaccines?

National Chief rejects unilateralism, imperialism; says major projects can’t happen without First Nations

“Attending the COF meeting was an important opportunity to speak to Premiers directly about the role of First Nations in decision-making on major projects,” said National Chief Woodhouse Nepinak. “Major project development cannot happen without us. Many Chiefs are deeply concerned about legislation that has tried to shove First Nations people aside. Collaborative decision-making is essential, and that includes legislation and decision-making on all major projects. A course correction is needed to ensure a constructive nation-to-nation relationship.”
