Call Me Confused...Bob The Hypocrite
Michel C. Auger has done us all a favor
To Ed King, I know you say distinct society and nation are not the same thing. Bob disagrees.
"Question: do you think that Quebec constitutes a nation?Answer: Yeah. Nation, people, distinct society. It’s all the same. It’s just words. It’s a set of words. It means that you recognize the distinctiveness of the collectivity of Quebec. It is something we should have done in 1985 in Meech and in 1992 with Charlottetown. And something we should be doing."
«There is a realistic chance that we shall face yet another referendum in Quebec. We have been sleepwalking a bit on this, and will have to wake up. Is a break unimaginable? Unfortunately, it is not. But it would be a tragedypainful and harmful to all. We have to do everything we can to make sure itdoes not happen.»
Bob's solution is to do nothing and attack Michael Ignatieff for daring say what Bob has said as recently as 3 months ago. Oh Bob you are trapped in a lie.

im not blackmailing anybody
altho, I do warn of dire electoral consequences if the resolution fails...i can refer to just about every major francophone newspaper.
it is not blackmail to say we are in trouble if some people don't wake up. Need I remind you the NDP passed a similar resolution at their convention this past september. This is hardly a new concept.
Dire electoral consequences? Do you mean the 20 seats we will loose in suburban Ontario if we adopt such a position?
That old saying about ducks (if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, it most likely is a duck) comes to mind.
Using words like dire electoral consequences etc. sure sounds, looks and walks like a blackmailing duck to The Cat.
Cease and desist, Befuddled One. Your twists and turns on this issue are comical but nonsensical.
That Quebec motion is dangerous to the Liberal Party. It should be withdrawn, or amended to say expressly that any task force considering what "nation" means and whether the LPC should consider calling Quebec and other groups or provinces nations, has no right to recommend any constitutional change.
Then let's focus on winning power.
Yes Antonio you could be called confused but not because of Bob Rae because you are willing ot say or do anything ot support a candidate who is untenable. Stop threatening us by the way. We have to do nothing! This motion will die at convention.

And that's a good proof, because it's proven!
That's why it's so odd and out of character for usually insightful commentators like Chantal Hebert to say:
"If it's passed it probably won't raise the Liberals way up in the polls in Quebec. If it's defeated though, I guess the Liberals can go and talk to the NDP about how it feels to continue getting seven and ten percent in francophone Quebec."
It could easily be argued that, since 1968, their concept of federalism has earned the NDP one seat in Quebec, while by contrast the Liberal vision has earned us a whopping four hundred fifty seven, or at least the truly vast majority of those which came under Trudeau and Chretien.
I'm not concerned about losing federalist ground to a party that I think is out of touch with just about everyone on federalism. I am however concerned that we've lost too much already and that we'll the divide the shaky ground upon which we currently stand, and that's the last thing both our party and our country need right now.
Oh brother.
Antonio, you're ridiculous.
