The man is a complete twit.
I love the brilliance of this move by Harper. He knows the setup of Canada, its only a matter of time until the 'French' (Majority of which are to the left politically) and the 'English' Liberals retake the reigns of power. I look at this two ways.
1) He's made a move to fracture the Liberal Party between the French and English parts, and will attempt to govern in the future with a Conservative Government while letting French Canada do what ever it pleases in Quebec, or
2) He's moving toward actual or Quasi-Independance for the francophone province that would leave remaining population much more favorable to voting for a conservative government.
He has taken a significant step toward shifting power back to the provinces thereby decentralizing it and undermining the centralization that is so essential to leftist social engineering.
