Gimbol's diatribe and screed

Who would promise special status for Quebec

The question is as follows:

What kind of an aspirant for the job of Prime Minister of Canada be most likely offer to enshrine in the constitution special status for Quebec?

Would Stephen Harper?
Would Jack Layton?

How about Mikey Ignatieff?
Seems his poll numbers have gone up in Quebec, and the media really haven't done a good job of keeping track of what he says....or at least reporting and pointing out the disparities depending on what time zone he's speaking in.

Considering Iggy is willing on any given day to offer governing interest in exchange for power, I'll submit that the propability he would offer "meat on the bone" to the closet separatists in Quebec is quite high.

The equation works like this MSM.

The ROC gets to pay for all the patronage going to Quebec (higher taxes), Quebecers are then brainwashed that the ROC owes it to them (bigger government in Ottawa and Quebec)....because well, they have Quebec institutions that are critical to something or other that are darn well neccessary that without them....the country will just not be the same without....or something like that.

I wonder when the media is going to figure this out?
Trudeau did it, Chretien did it, hell even Mulroney did it and figured out too late whats so bad about it when Bouchard double crossed him.

MSM do your job.
