Check this out: Mr Dion screwed up royally in an English interview a couple of days ago. He could not understand the question and looked like an idiot.

My husband works for the federal government—he commented, this guy is running for PM. If federal workers can take classes and improve or qualify in the other language, why can’t he?

The island votes Liberal. QB City is all Bloc. Its the small towns in between the Conservatives targeted in this election.

Props to Keith Ashfield in Fredericton. It's too bad he didn't beat out Andy Scott ... I hated that guy. LOL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I knew Andy when he was a kid and his dad ran a Concrete business in Barker's Point, Fredericton.
Guess he played in the wrong tree house.

I respect the French, but this bilingualism thang holds Canada back. Without a doubt. Culture aside, the economic costs are incredible.

So much for that. They'll probably get 145. Picking up +20 on a night like this is a very good showing!

I tell you what, let’s have a reunion on New year’s Eve in Northern Nunavuk. Ptronski can provide the liquor, I’ll bring the swimsuits.

I disagree. Canada was founded by two peoples. Unlike Belgium, they're not headed towards a divorce. Federalism is alive and well in QB.

How did your folks make out in the floods this year?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They live on a hill overlooking the Saint John River, so no harm done. But the other side of the River took a beating.

CBC looks like it runs on a shoe-string budget, that’s for sure.

Yeah but consider they lost almost a quarter of their seats and they're below 80. Its a massacre for them and I think Dion is going to be on his way out soon.

Unlike Belgium, they're not headed towards a divorceCame might close back in 1995.
What really did in English speakers' good will was the passage of Bill 101 in Quebec. Imagine if a Bill 101 was passed in any of our states. There would be war.

A gain of 20+ is amazing. They just narrowly missed the majority. Its been a great night for the Conservatives.

For TV news, CBC has been a distant second in ratings here since the 1970s. CTV tends to be more objective (by MSM standards)- http://www.ctv.ca
