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.

For the Liberals Quebec matters cause even if they lose Ontario in the federal election, they'll still remain in power if they keep Quebec. The next Prime Minister apparent, Paul Martin, like the outgoing Chretien, is from Quebec.

Quite the contrary, this is a rejection of left wing politics and bodes well for the Canadian conservative movement. Things are going in the RIGHT direction.The socialists in Quebec have been routed.Provincial politics and Canadian national politics are different. In British Columbia, the liberals are also the right wing party.

I don't know about that this looks like good news,

Now, as for that other rightward veering, we are referring to the April 14 election and the very real possibility voters in Quebec will elect the Liberals — les rouges, as the party is known (and which, in the early days of its history, advocated annexation of Canada by the United States.)

It’s not so much that the Liberals have such a pronounced rightward tilt, it’s just that, by comparison with the Parti Quebecois that’s ruled the province for the last nine years, the party is relatively rock-ribbed Republican. In fact, some of the key planks in the Liberal platform are the staples of neo-conservative thinking. A 27-percent cut in personal income taxes over five years, simplification of business taxes and reduction of regulatory obstacles to job creation.

As well, the Liberals are pledged to reduce the bewildering array of government agencies and organisms that have proliferated under the PQ. The Liberals would freeze the budgets of all government ministries, except, significantly, health and education.........


Sounds like the Quebecers are moving in the right direction to me, Actually the Liberals in Quebec seem to be acting more conservative than the Republicans here.
