With the anointment of Ignatieff as the interim leader of the LPC and as he would become our PM if the tripartite coalition is successful in their underhanded bid to thwart the last election results ignoring the wishes of Canadians, I have to ask a question.
Where is Gilles Duceppe and why have we not heard his thoughts yet on the the selection of Iggy as interim leader of both the LPC and the coalition?
I can't see Gilles being too happy with this considering that Iggy has always had the support of the Liberals Quebec wing, but coalitions make strange bed fellows as we have seen over the last week or so.
So come on Gilles, it is time to go on the record about your new bed mate.

Duceppe is probably at home, fuming that he was so close to weilding actual power and now nothing... Ad judging by the Quebec election results, the seperatist cause isn't as strong as the rest of Canada believes.
Maybe he's wondering how to distance himself from his new BFF, the Liberals,
it was Quebec Unions that brought the Libs to court over the EI surplus being used to balance the books.
Chumming up with Dion was one thing but I doubt that doing so with Iggy is going to over that well with many Bloc supporters.
The Separatists are rubbing their hands in glee because Stephen Harper helped them defeat the neocon Action Democratique.
Damn separatists.
How'd they get so smart?
Charest got the majority. Did Harper help with that too?
Duceppe knows that Ignatieff was in favour and supported Dion/ndp/bloc coalition scheme. Duceppe can make mince meat with two of them in parliament-he has nothing to lose so why not throw some jabs at them especially after he had a signed agreement with the two of them.I don't think he will walk away empty looking like a fool.
The liberals a.k.a. adscamers, soupscamers, E.I.scamers are hiding somewhere protected by the MSM body ammor, cameras and ignorance.
ADQ was losing ground LONG before PMSH has to deal with the Liberals laying down with separatists.
Super Mario should run federally now.
Mario for the senate!

Freedom Isn't Free
I received an interview request from a reporter with the Journal de Montreal Newspaper (December 3, 2008) the day before Harper’s meeting with the Governor General.
She wanted to know my reaction to the proposed Coalition between the NDP, Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois.
For those of you who don’t know much or anything about the Journal de Montreal, it is a French language daily that is the closest thing Quebec has to a ‘national newspaper’.
It is also a VERY racist Quebecois nationalist rag, to the point of being Quebec’s Separatist cheerleader.
During my QPAC days in Quebec, the Journal de Montreal liked to refer to me in their headlines as l’Anglohone Juif Galganov. In translation: Anglo Jew Galganov. Where was the Human Rights Commission then?
The Journal de Montreal can best be described as a sensationalist tabloid that mixes gossip, sports and news. It should also be noted that more than a million French Quebecers read the Journal de Montreal every day.
The reporter expected me to answer her question with a degree of outrage towards this coalition, so imagine her surprise when I told her that I was all for it?
She asked if I was kidding? How could I possibly be for a federal political union that includes the Bloc Quebecois?
She was more surprised with my answer when I told her that this coalition between Socialists and Separatists will not last beyond a month or so, and will guarantee two unexpected and unintended consequences.
The first consequence will be the end of any hopes for Leftist electoral victories for either the Liberals or the Socialist NDP for a generation or more to come, freeing Canada from the type of FREEBIE LEFTIST policies that are destroying the fabric of our country.
The next consequence really shook her when I explained that a coalition with the Quebec Separatist Bloc would hasten the departure of Quebec from Confederation, allowing Canada to finally grow without the Quebec anchor around our neck.
The interview became more of a discussion as she asked me if I thought the rest of Canada would throw Quebec out. And if they did, why would they do that now and not before?
My answer stunned her even more. And from the sound of her voice, she was more than somewhat depressed when I explained to her that Canada does not need Quebec. More to the point, Canada will be far better off without Quebec.
It is Quebec that needs Canada, since Quebec brings nothing to the table other than threats, costs and complications that hinder the growth of our country.
I also explained that the rest of Canada didn’t need our domestic and foreign policies decided upon by a beggar province. Not to mention that Canada’s official bilingualism policies are discriminating against more than 97% of the Canadian population (English speaking) living outside of Quebec.
With this proposed coalition, the Bloc will win several big concessions that will include:
MORE MONEY from the rest of Canada - But the rest of Canada is broke.
Ontario is a HAVE-NOT province. And if it isn’t yet, it certainly will be soon.
At less than $50 per barrel, and still falling like a lead balloon, Alberta is dying with the lack of demand for its petroleum products, and will not earn enough money to sustain its budgetary goals without cutting programs, raising taxes, or dipping into its Heritage Fund. All of which are akin to cancer for Albertans.
Where else will Quebec expect to get the BILLIONS of dollars their deal with the two idiots, Stephane Dion and Taliban Jack have promised?
Just imagine the outrage from the West, when Alberta has to write a check to a Separatist province that helped wipeout a government Albertans voted for near unanimously?
Just imagine the added outrage from the West when six Quebec Separatists are named to Canada’s Senate as part of the deal?
Just imagine the boiling-over outrage from the West when Quebec Separatists must first vet all of Parliaments business before it can be brought to the floor, much less implemented?
I CAN’T WAIT I TOLD HER!
Then I reminded her that certain inalienable decisions would be made the moment Quebec and Canada part company.
By federal law, Canadian Banks and Insurance companies must be headquartered within Canada. There go the banks. By law, airlines cannot pick-up and deliver passengers from one national location to another national location unless that airline is headquartered in that nation. Goodbye Air Canada.
Then there’s the Canada Export and Development Corporation that underwrites just about all of Bombardier’s sales abroad. Goodbye Bombardier along with other federally financed corporations in Quebec.
Goodbye all the federal government jobs that disproportionately employ French Quebecers. Especially those who can speak some English.
And Goodbye official bilingualism.
At this point in our conversation, her voice was quite subdued when she asked if I think Canada will push Quebec out the door?
No was my response. I think Quebec and Canada will separate from each other much like Czechoslovakia did, when the Czechs and Slovakians both decided to go their separate ways without any fanfare, great debates, referendums or anything else.
It just happened, much the way I see it just happening between Canada and Quebec where there will be no reason for Quebec to stay within Canada once the financial tap is closed.
And there will be no reason for Canada to want Quebec within Confederation when the rest of Canada finally learns that we will be far better off without Quebec dragging us down.
Even though Harper bought himself and the Conservatives 6 weeks of political peace by suspending Parliament to the end of January, much of the damage has already been done to the long-term future between Quebec and Canada by this attempted Putsch by the Coalition of Idiots.
The rest of Canada really doesn't care much for what Quebec wants anymore, since the rest of Canada is more concerned with what it needs to stay afloat.
I explained to her that I am just one political Blogger out of thousands who are spreading a similar message by asking pertinent questions while bringing demographic FACTS to the table.
And in spite of what the out-of-touch conventional media seems to think, Quebec’s future within Canada is not looking all that good. And that looks pretty good for the rest of Canada.
We owe Duceppe, Dion and Taliban Jack our gratitude for finally pushing the envelope too far.
