Canadian politics is very interesting to me, I got really into it out of boredom a few years ago.

Nowadays I would say CAQ (and before it the ADQ) is the most conservative choice in Quebec. I wonder why the Liberals and CAQ didn’t form a coalition to keep the new PQ minority government out.

In BC Before the BC Liberals (which had been all but dead) took over the role the main center/right party in the province was the Social Credit party, which was originally formed to promote a weird lefty idea called, social credit.

In BC cause the new (not so new now) leader of the Liberal party is a federal liberal and a witch the old BC Conservative party that had been long been all but dead made a resurgence.

They’re numbers have dipped but in the latest poll they’re still taking 11% to the Liberals 33% and the NDP’s 43%.

I’ve been surprised that Harper hasn’t been able to make much headway with the Anglophones in the Montreal area. They are sticking with Liberals federally. He ran a star candidate in a majority English-speaking seat. Close 3-way race but he came in third. A Jewish Conservative did very well in another seat (a former liberal stronghold once held by Trudeau himself) but he lost by 6 points.

If I were him I’d be begging for the province to leave, he would have had a majority after the 2008 election, less Quebec.

Ditto with Scotland leaving the UK, Cameron is the Union’s most ardent defender, get rid of the Labour heavy Scottish MPs and the Conservatives have a slight majority right now I believe. Sure their are drawbacks to losing Scotland but...so what.

It would be like if Hawaii was really serious about leaving the US and the GOP were the ones to most strongly oppose it, nuts.

Separation!!!
