Parti Quebecois Imploding?
Very interesting.
"Former Québec Premier Jacques Parizeau has delivered a political shocker and a slap to Pauline Marois. The man who almost won independence for Québec, in 1995, is now supporting Jean-Martin Aussant, leader of a new party called Option Nationale.Now that will be the one to watch!! What percentage of the popular vote will the "Option Nationale" get?
Following the public endorsement by Jacques Parizeau of Jean-Martin Aussant's bid to get reelected in the riding of Nicolet-Yamaska, most observers were quick to point out that it could have an adverse effect on the Parti Québécois' efforts to win a majority government in this year's Québec election (September 4).
Mr. Aussant was first elected to the Assemblée nationale in 2008 as a Parti Québécois member. But he quit three years later, in 2011, because of disagreements with the PQ leader Pauline Marois, whose efforts to win independence for Québec were now seen by Mr. Aussant as too weak. He went on to create his own political party, Option Nationale, and a political program that calls for governing Québec as an independent State as soon as elected. A constitution proclaiming a sovereign Québec would be drafted and submitted to the population through a referendum."

Adios, Muchachos ... and don't bump your ass on the door on the way out!
I think it's rather funny that a poll released a few days ago showing the ROC really couldn't care less if Quebec separated was all it took for the PQ to get all in a big huff and for lots of ordinary Quebecers to start pleading with the ROC not to kick them out. Just goes to show, that appeasement is not the way to go.
I've been commenting on some threads about the issue on Sun News Network, and of course, most of the folks who are really upset by all this are NOT Quebecois, but people from Ontario, especially Toronto, and to a lessor extent, the Maritimes.
The comments threads are getting really nasty. But then that's the way I like them. Smoking out and then stomping on the leftards is so much fun. I'm so bad. (But they fall for it every time. Suckers.)
Mark Steyn wrote years ago that this Quebec seperatism business is really just a shakedown racket against the ROC. It's been pretty damn successful over the years, decades, so it must be a helluva shock for The Usual Suspects to see that ROC viewpoints have changed, that most ROC folks no longer give a damn and would just as soon les Quebecois "hit the road,Jacques, and doncha come back no mo, no mo, hit the road, Jacques and doncha come back no mo!"
