Jean Chretien's Liberals are back in charge of Quebec. I guess that America-bashing helped defeat the separatists.

This is terrible news. The Qebecois have found a common Canadian nationalism... in joining the English Canadians in opposition to the US. It would be better if they just seceeded.

Interesting.
The liberal perty in Quebec is a "nationalist party". But this election had very little to do with separation and more to do with economics. The separation issue was settled a while ago and no one is really talking about it now.
The liberal party of Quebec is a combination of centre leaning liberals and conservatives such as Jean Charest.
Jean Charest campaigned on tax cuts and a conservative theme.
Hope CBC's prediction pans out. hawk

Too bad. Separation might have saved western Canada. Now the whole country needs to be punished. Don't mess with the USA!

Jean Charest is trailing the PQ candidate in his Sherbrooke riding so far, but even if he loses, one of the Liberal MNA's with a safe seat will quit so he can win a by-election.
