--thanks--interesting.

Unrelated , but one of my former collegues who worked in northern Quebec for some months considered it to have the most corrupt government that he had encountered--

Unlike some locales where corruption is pretty much the accepted lifestyle, a surprising number of Quebecers are really fed up with it.
In many quarters the Liberal Party gangsters are actually far more despised than they are in English Canada because Quebecers know them just that much better.

Interestingly, this hatred for the Librano$ skews Quebec politics in ways most outsiders are unaware:
In many parts of the province a lot of the separatist vote is actually an anti-Liberal vote while, in others, people hold their noses to vote for them because they're more afraid of the separatists.

Both the Liberals & the separatist Bloc Quebecois are rightly terrified by the recent rise in popularity of our Conservatives since both well know the basis of their support is anything but firm in many parts of the province.
