How Long Until Temazapm Works

The triumph of the absurd: "Quebecers of French Canadian Quebecers

The ineffable Bouchard has put together an identity as junk only intellectuals lack of political correctness (and moral warmth) may lay: we would be "Quebecers of French-Canadian origin." Such an expression is as sterile and depressing at the limit of absurdity. So we are, to paraphrase, the inhabitants of a geographic territory with civic-linguistic origins! Quite a detour to avoid naming a cat, a cat.

Here is a text written in response to blog Grand Inquisitor Language Paris, Paul Roux, who made quite candidly " an overview of the various terms used to describe Quebec " to stimulate discussion around the proposal of Mr. Bouchard.

a semantic problem

If we break the expression, "Quebecers of French-Canadian origin", we understand that this is a person who was born in Canada (outside Quebec?) And whose mother tongue is French (but necessarily), which was then established (geographically) in Quebec. If one takes the trouble to stress the original "Canadian" of a "Québécois" is that the origin is not in Quebec, is not it? Otherwise there is redundancy.

It is obvious that this poses for small semantic problems, I was born in Quebec, I am from Quebec and some of my ancestors came from France, Switzerland and Belgium. Will there be identified with his pedigree, so to please Mr. Bouchard and his detours semantics?

THE MYTH OF LINGUISTIC IDENTITY

Canada has built its foundation myth from two linguistic identities, which were mutated in ethnic identities. As if language was a people! As if Saskatchewanians, Acadians and Quebecers of the St Lawrence shared a coherent story and a common identity! The Canadian identity model is wrong. There are indeed a nation of Quebec, which is conscious of its own existence and which also includes groups that participated in the march of Quebec francophones in the St. Lawrence Valley, but also those of the Saguenay and Beauce, have their peculiarities, Métis and Aboriginal groups, the Irish, they are melted in our set or whether they have retained their traditions, and immigrants latest, if they chose to live "with us" and not "our side".

TWO HALF-IDENTITIES

"French Canadian" is a term that designates two half-identities. The sum does not at all, but rather because an identity crisis that prevents us from defining ourselves by ourselves and for ourselves.

Finally, Quebecers are as a people, identity as a nation (and not ethnic, linguistic or civic). But since Quebec is not a country, it is possible to live without feeling Quebecers. In this case, in good conscience refuse to participate development and evolution of this common identity, inclusive and well defined.

The proposal of Mr. Bouchard will have at least had the merit of demonstrating, with unexpected force, that the complex of Elvis Gratton is still alive in our beautiful "nation within a nation's civic symbolism."

Feeding in the era of globalization

THE ORIGINS OF GLOBALIZATION

The globalization of trade and human movement is not a new concept. Who would have thought that the establishment of the Silk Road between the Roman West and China's Han Empire, would be the first wire ( silk ) between two cultures separated by thousands of miles? Caravan trade route to the spices of the Renaissance, all over the world were quickly joined by those invisible son that allowed food and wealth to travel at great expense, unimaginable distances at the time. It is said that the clove cost its weight in gold in the early 17th century. Black pepper was a luxury. Even the salt transported by camel across the Sahara, has long been an essential commodity but very expensive.

It is however with the establishment of the first true maritime empires that global trade routes, driven by competition between English, Portuguese and Dutch in Asia, have consolidated. It is said also that the insurance policies were created when English speculators began to bet on commercial vessels (when the boat was lost at sea, they lose their implementation for the benefit of the shipowner).

The British Empire functioned much like our "Western bloc" modern: the importance of raw materials (minerals, textile raw materials, foods, spices) of its colonies, transformed, and then exporting the finished products. We always do the same thing with bauxite from Guinea (transformed aluminum ingots in Saguenay or Kitimat, or more than 10,000 km from the place of extraction). Ironically, then we sold planes or cars with aluminum chassis Africans.

DERIVATIVES AND RESISTANCE

the early 20th century, Gandhi became a sort of anti-globalization activist first. It was absurd that the Indians are forced to buy British textiles cheaply when they themselves produced, at low wages, cotton or linen used to make them! The solution advocated by the great pacifist buy clothing made from textiles local unprocessed; fabrics coarser but more profitable locally, too. When buying a rough cotton shirt in India today, you follow the footsteps of Gandhi. Guineans will they do such a day?

The excesses of globalization are insidiously installed from the heyday of the British Empire in the late 19th century. It was at this time that the concepts underlying the modern state emerged, including the invention of the visa and passport. While raw materials and manufactured goods began to travel, they began to establish guidelines, limits on Travel between human settlements and cities. For the system to be preserved, it must control what is exchanged and ... which languished!

FACTOR ENERGY

But what has perverted the trade is all about the ridiculously low cost of energy since the end of the second world war. Coal, then oil has broken the principle of locality in the production-processing goods. Can be considered as incompatible economic systems, which formerly operated in isolation, are now interconnected at multiple levels. It can carry a perishable food, product in an economic system in line with local wages less than $ 1 a day, thousands of miles in a controlled atmosphere container for a ridiculous price per tonne. All thanks to fossil fuels. That's what makes the banana and clove are no longer luxury items ... but there are other consequences!

When transportation costs are so low, it is possible to sell a commodity produced on the other side of the planet (where the pay scale and cost is different from ours) to a fraction of the price. Thus the Thai or Filipino furniture replace our local markets. Same with apples or melons Chilean Mexican ... Yet while we have a climate conducive to growing these fruits! And yet these are often imported fruit varieties giant tasteless ("pockets of water" as I call him), sometimes grown under conditions unacceptable, and are picked long before maturity so that they can withstand transport. Result, they are far less nutritious than fruit picked at term and went on sale immediately. You love it, the fruit that tastes like water or starch? Besides the pollution caused by long-distance transport, the steps handling, overpack, etc..

TRACK SOLUTIONS

We live like princes, because our real prosperity is multiplied by the relative poverty of the rest of the planet. So no, it will not be possible to combat these excesses of globalization as two economic realities are in place, either: (1) the difference in scale between local and distant economies, and (2) costs ridiculously low transnational transport.

solutions? Encourage the growth of the middle class in countries in Africa, Asia and South America. Forcing large Vessel owners to use clean, safe and employ seafarers well paid and well treated (this will cost them dear). Establish a surcharge to the distance traveled by perishable goods (to put that money into environmental programs and in local agriculture).

RICH COUNTRIES, Wasteland

A troubling aspect of the globalization of food (agricultural production outsourced to third countries, processing stages spread over vast territories, etc.) is that many industrialized countries have become dependent, absolutely, trade. The richest countries tend to drop in primary agricultural production in favor of more lucrative economic activities. They place themselves in some way voluntarily into deficit in agriculture. In addition, the land previously dedicated to the production of foodstuffs are often converted to urban neighborhoods, in non-food products (textile products like cotton, oil, feed and biofuels), when they simply are not abandoned and left fallow . In Brazil, there is a conversion from agriculture to soybeans (for oil), canola, etc.. In Uzbekistan, the state maintains a monoculture of cotton, while the population is thirsty, that famine is endemic and the soil is highly contaminated by pesticides.

There are also historical examples. We should not forget that Spain has undergone major disturbances in the twilight of his empire at the end of the 19th century. The country had been left fallow since the riches drawn out of the colony allowed the Spaniards to obtain supplies of foodstuffs throughout Europe and North Africa - all paid for with gold from the colonies. Major irrigation works built by the Romans and maintained by the Moors, fell into ruin. The country was drier than ever, despite the efforts modern never regained its agricultural capacity of yesteryear. Food production and water management remain important sources of concern in countries where the soil has been neglected.

QUEBEC VULNERABLE?

With the globalization of agriculture, we produce in Quebec enough food to feed all Quebecers? If there was a crisis of international transport, a world war or economic collapse tomorrow morning, how many children die of hunger in Montreal or Quebec? Currently, we convert our best farmland in the suburbs, while farms in Quebec are strangled by the Canadian agricultural planning system, North American and global (FCC, NAFTA, GATT, etc.). We no longer have the right to financially assist our agricultural producers or even the preferred, as markets open to products cheap which, paradoxically, come from countries where hunger prevails. Their hunger could become ours one day.

When we will produce almost no food, we become very vulnerable to any economic or commercial surge that could affect (even marginally) the volume of our imports. It would be desirable and even essential, therefore, introduce a policy of food self-sufficiency for Quebec. It would be an important gesture of sovereignty and a responsible initiative.


Addendum: According this study (which analyzed some sectors of production), several European countries are any more self-sufficient in terms of food production. The case of Great Britain is unique. Although his self-sufficiency rate is 83%, it is an island and in case of crisis (such as a blockade or quarantine because of an epidemic), it is unclear whether the country would fare without a major famine. This analysis is even more pessimistic for Great Britain and assesses its sufficiency is only 60% real (ie, the UK currently imports 40% of its food). Some communities in northern Europe do not expect a situation of scarcity arises and take initiatives such as this area of Copenhagen which established an experimental food self-sufficiency.

Addendum (2) : In a letter sent to the PQ this spring, I had proposed to include a policy of food self-sufficiency (presented as a gesture of sovereignty ) in the party platform. It seems that my proposal was ignored at this point, but the subject is now news and it will not be possible to turn a deaf ear. Again, the PQ can be found behind the headlines.

Nordicstars Remix Pack

A budget that is neither lucid nor

Monique Jerome-Forget, proud of his new shoes, we just lay a budget for a single purpose: to finance the purchase of her new shoes out of the federal payments.

At least that's the conclusion I arrived declaring that the surplus of nearly one billion dollars will go ... not in education (to train entrepreneurs, managers and doctors) ... not in payment of the debt (to reduce our collective debt, and further increase our flexibility) ... but directly into the pockets of the wealthy. Not that we should punish them in any way, our rich, but with our progressive tax system, everyone pays their fair share already. So why have redistributed money this way?

Let's see what the opposition parties have to say!

The Parti Quebecois leaning slightly more towards the side that says Solidarity Lucid said, he would have preferred to see a part (say half) of budget surpluses versed in education (which is in disrepair - except UQAM its premises purchased with Air Miles adulterated) and healthcare (particularly for repatriating physicians by improving their salaries and invest in training new doctors). In short, with Legault and Marois tandem finance, the PQ is at least the merit of being consistent in its pronouncements, which are much less "so-so-so ... immobility" that what the media-gna gna like to introduce ourselves. Legault seems to be very strong now, very confidently, that bodes well for the rest of the match.

The Army Duplessis of Quebec (ADQ) head was so swollen by his recent success at the polls, that his chief bullies no longer have any sense of proportion. They are already cheuffes Quebec, having crushed the PQ, PLQ, QS, the Greens and the unions under their wicked boots polished with wax to démagoguenard. Oh yes: they "bear pants" and they "say out loud what people are thinking to themselves". What panties and what people? We will never know. The ADQ

clearly leans towards said Lucid (and sometimes a little too much, but that's another story). In this sense, their critique rather affects management Generations Fund, for to accelerate the repayment of debt. One of the basic principles of Lucid is to avoid shoveling deficits to future generations (an idea very responsible, we must admit). It could therefore, in all intellectual honesty, qualify the criticism of the ADQ leaders on this issue. At the office

prescritorial La Presse, PLouQistes chief welcomed this budget loudly while drinking a glass of PPPepsi Light, as it should. They do not know exactly why they are satisfied with the budget, but they are satisfied by definition, Alain Dubuc praises the "courage" of the Liberals without too explain what exactly who is brave - perhaps it is the act of listening to the nonsense of Jean Charest for more than 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. Alain Dubuc

obviously trying to convince us that critics of the budget are justified. In their blogs, Liberal activists are trying to emphasize the "inconsistency" criticism of Gilles Taillon (formerly the Employers' Council). As if it was not possible to have a nuanced opinion!

In fact, what has particularly pleased the bosses in this budget, it is certainly not the management of surpluses. A single point is sufficient to put the employers in the pocket of the Liberals: the abolition of the tax on business capital, before 2011 (2012?). For employers, the public debt, infrastructure and basic services arrive Xth position, away from the profit of enterprise and training of interns racking records.

The volte-face Gilles Taillon may be explained by a simple change of priorities. He may have even taken a liking to the Quebec state, now it is headed (oops no, the ADQ is made at the navel). Remains to be seen if a coherent thought or just a bully in pirouette dress parade.

Personally, I find that Ms. Forget has bought shoes absolutely awful, she is overwhelmed with his memory stick (the WiFi is encrypted "in" in 2007, Madam), and the increase in debt is now a pure product Liberal (which can no longer blame their predecessors, that is to say for themselves the state of public finances). Little Miss Madame grieves us to go spend "72 million" in election? It's so sad to hear politicians criticize COSTS of democracy, while their own government is a double minority issues and reach a billion dollars. It's really, really cheap.

I have a theory on this, but shhh, do not repeat too high: Monique Jerome-Forget is actually son Daniel Johnson, with a wig on his noggin, as beardless as usual, and just talking little more acute. It's been over a decade that had not been entitled to a budget neo-liberal ...

Discolored Cervix Pap

secured notes in the margins

I repeat here some of my thoughts the past few days, which took the form of comments in other blogs (especially those of Joseph Facal and sovereignty Plume). I take this opportunity to improve and to correct some unfortunate typos.

I thank all the bloggers sovereigntists or not they are part of our group. Bloggers, participate actively in the ferment of ideas, the vitality of the sovereignty movement and the great reflection of the domestic social democrats of Quebec.

1. ON THE END OF THE REIGN OF TONY BLAIR

The era of Tony Blair has just ended and already his successor, Gordon Brown, just restore the old name of the party (the "New Labour" becomes the "Labour ") and the old logo. The Labour is going back to its old policy of the center-left Labour Party.

The level of the party's popularity is at its lowest in Scotland, the collapse of Labour to the SNP even took a young pro-independence party. Scotland has not half the policy space of Quebec, but the very idea that the SNP could have the success scares Unionists.

short, it is reasonable to ask what "killed" the Labour: is it the obstinacy of Blair to engage in unpopular wars to restore some pride to the British military (do not forget that 'he admires Margaret Thatcher), is the simple test of power, is the failure the center-right policies that have been applied inconsistently by a party that was trying to "protect his left" while "to right"?

fact remains that the "case" New Labour is now a serious warning to the many parties in Western democracies are trying to refocus on the side lucid-reformer. Can they "deliver"?

It is curious that it worked in some countries of northern Europe (one thinks, for example in Sweden and its so-called principle of "golden triangle") then ... bloc countries that Anglo-Saxon can not.

Could it be that the British parliamentary model has the effect of hardening in two ideological blocs unchanging, represented by a Social Democratic Party and a conservative party? And if a party tries to emerge from its "ecological niche", he is irresistibly drawn, as drawn by a rubber band? In light of this hypothesis, it is reasonable to ask: What if creating a second axis ideological (based on the constitutional issue) is not sufficient to ensure the long term, the presence of new ecological niches for parties occupying the political scene in Quebec?

If this is the case, one wonders what would then be possible developments in the political balance of Quebec. The coexistence of two social democratic parties from the same mold, from 1973 to 2003, and the absence of a true conservative party during this period of 30 years, would it be an "aberration" in the parliamentary model in the UK Quebec?

should perhaps worry ...

2. CONSULTATIONS ON THE STRENGTH OF POPULAR

I mentioned some discomfort sovereignists against the PQ in an article in my blog, in early April. What is the PQ, apart from the promotion of sovereignty and the preparation of a single gesture (the referendum)? As far as I know, the PQ is not a lobbying organization or dissemination of ideas (think tank style ), which is content to print flyers and studies ... is a nationalist party that is supposed to use everything in its power to advance Quebec! I have found that two "acts of sovereignty" significant between 1996 and 2003, namely:
  • 1997: attempt to get rid of the Lieutenant Governor (as Jean Chrétien has happily ignored by appointing Lise Thibault)
  • 1999-2000: Law 99 (which has had less impact than might have been expected)
Without criticizing the efforts put behind these attempts, I would like the fact that these "acts of sovereignty" from experienced unfortunate, especially because the then government has deliberately confined the steps to the National Assembly. However, the best we can give weight to such projects is the direct and unequivocal support of the Quebec nation. Why do not carry out a referendum before moving these laws or decrees?

If a clear majority of the population vote for the right to self-determination of Quebec, or in favor of abolishing the office of lieutenant governor, it weighs much heavier than a parliamentary vote, which will always seen as partisan and who may (in such cases) be dismissed out of hand by Ottawa.

The referendum is not ONLY for the sovereignty and is a very powerful tool, which gives legitimacy to any absolutely unquestionable political gesture. If the friend Arnold in California is capable of governing "by referenda," we can do.

3. ON POLITICAL REFORM NEEDED

Since our parliamentary system does not (it seems) the formation of coalition governments, the PQ was sentenced to pose as party convener of the left and right, in the hope of forming a majority. We have discussed often, it is not desirable that the PQ is a party "without contents", which hopes to take power with the only Article 1.

So there is an urgent need to refocus the party on the desires and values of citizens, who have played for 30 years. Is it possible to "Rake wide enough? I do not know. One thing is certain, the electorate seems to follow a distribution curve left and right much more flattened (eccentric) than in the past.

Since we have become "masters at home," since Canada's federal system gives substantial autonomy and already we have been able to expand through our initiatives, we had the opportunity to choose a model company and the experiment. It is therefore not surprising that people critical of our society's choices are now offering different avenues. Being masters at home, it also manage our own failures and our own dissensions.

The balkanization of the electorate is therefore an indirect but undeniable, from our grip. External factors, such as the economic shift to the right is perceived in the West for a decade, are not strangers either. The collapse of ideologies of the extreme left of the 20th century has not finished pushing the pendulum to the right.

Finally, the consequences of the Quiet Revolution and the widespread acceleration of our lifestyle, coupled with expanded access to credit, stimulated "Cocooning" - "militant individualism" (pardon the oxymoron), finding some comfort rather materialistic. Under these conditions, our vision of society is simply torn between the individualism of "taxpayer" (ex-citizen) and the soft relativism imposed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

It has emerged the sovereignty party Québec solidaire, which presents itself as a "second track" sovereignty ... well, maybe more a siding at the moment. What you should understand is that the ideology Socialist party is as alien to social democratic ideals of the Quiet Revolution, the sellout neoliberal currently imposed by the PLQ.

It would however not surprising that a libertarian separatist party to emerge. Libertarianism sees traditionally large states "bureaucratic" as enemies of individual freedom. They would therefore be tempted to support an approach sovereignty. With the ADQ

who glean the "right materialist" and QS gnawing the "left community," the PQ is sentenced to the center. However, our electoral base is not required to melt so fast. It is perhaps enough to "expand the center" by showing how moderate left and right can coexist in a social contract that is both flexible and responsible. In short, more than ever we need to rehabilitate the Quebec Model, in an updated version.

It is clear that the collapse of ideologies in Quebec will be more acute than follow societal debates, not two but three main ideological socialism versus neo-liberalism, conservatism versus social liberalism, independence versus integration in Canada. There are still many niche green "to occupy space in ideologies. And it bodes very badly.

The British parliamentary model, based perhaps on a conception of Manichean good and evil, implies the existence of two opposing political parties only. This in turn requires bipartisanship that there are only two possible answers to every moral issue and that a third way is likely similar to one of two polarities already defined. It is also not surprising that even in a presidential system like the United States, the British parliamentary heritage is firmly anchored bipartisanship.

In fact, such a model accommodates the presence of third parties only if they are marginal. I'm not surprised that Canadian political analysts have said very seriously the disappearance of one of the three major parties in Quebec with such "exclusion principle" is swimming fast quantum physics (or Darwinism in politics)!

What about a model that allows for dual minority head of state? A party can take power with less than 50% of elected members, representing less than 50% of citizens?

This model not only of the PQ government would take power under conditions not allowing sovereignty (since minority negates the legitimacy of such a project) ... but it could very well develop into a reverse situation, where several parties joined separatists a large majority of the population, but are unable to get elected or to advance their common project (since it is not side splitting federalist). One comes to expect the return of the Equality Party!

A logical conclusion to this "paradox parliamentary" is that The PQ should instead focus its efforts toward political reform of the electoral law and the structure of government, even before embarking on an episode referendum. This great social project would precede the sovereignty, rather than be the consequence. Coalition governments are essential to the survival of the sovereignty project! I'll post the details of such a project in my blog as soon as possible.

4. ON THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACH OF MR TURP

Mr. Daniel Turp deposit in the National Assembly, May 17, its draft Constitution of Quebec. I welcome the initiative of this great ruler, which I always appreciate the intellectual rigor.

However, I wonder if it really is a good time to make this gesture. Currently, and especially because of the weak leadership of the PQ and the results of recent elections, Mario Dumont (a potential ally in this case) really has not been kind to our party. In politics, for developing the "manly friendship" should be hit hard, then socialize. Ms. Marois is not yet installed at the head of the PQ has not yet established a dialogue with Dumont, did not find common ground with the ADQ and has not negotiated truce policy (essential to get such projects). The Constitution of

Mr. Turp, and dropped in a pasture, could be eating all round by the other parties. Worse, there may be recovery of text from other parties, purification of the Constitution and abuse of text to a version insignificant or subordinate to federalism. And the PQ can not do anything, confined to his position of third-party.

One reason for this very bad timing of this outburst is perhaps the fear of the QP to be pushed around more during the upcoming elections. Or, Mr. Turp sees this project as his "swan song". I can understand, however, that the PQ sees the need to present a text BEFORE the other parties do not steal the initiative. But we saw what it gave to Ottawa with the "Quebec nation", the Bloc was overtaken by Harper and could do nothing thereafter. The motion that the Bloc was preparing disappeared into the ether .... parliamentary This is what happens when you throw the "-balloon" while we are at a disadvantage.

I myself have doubts about the advisability of bringing a project as fundamental to the identity and the future of Quebec at a time when the PQ is virtually without a head, in situation history of weakness, and very small. I'm not sure we will draw our Getting ahead of the game will remember us by Jean Charest, in the history books as "this great Quebec nationalist ( sic) and Canada, which gave Quebec constitution honorable (sic re- ), with the support of the ADQ and the PQ despite protests ?

It still remains that we must do everything in our power, even in opposition, even as third-party for the Quebec nation advance. Even if only to rouse nationalism struggling to assert itself over the past decade. I salute the courage of Mr. Turp, who took a huge political risk by depositing its draft Constitution. Hopefully the rest of the PQ and especially Ms. Marois, would support this project and will defend against attempts to hijack. Ultimately, it will ask the people to decide. The final content of such a document is not decided behind closed doors between politicians, but with the people as a guide.

5. ON THE BACK OF THE NATIONAL CONSENSUS

We are living a unique moment in the history of Quebec, where two-thirds of the deputies elected to the Assembly National are either autonomous or separatists. They should put their differences aside and decide to join forces temporarily to that, politically at least, Quebec to be a big step forward. Left to put aside our economic ideologies, both left of center, center-right or right-to-libertarian flavor. "

is a moment that will not last forever. Quebec has missed some great opportunities to enjoy national consensus, for example in 1990-1992 (between Meech and Charlottetown). It is this "national failure" lamentable QLP Bourassa precipitated the creation of the ADQ, let us remember.

We could do a long way together. Reform through some of the state. Dust the Allaire report and wonder why we have so miserably failed in our attempts to recover the national powers that are rightfully ours (and legitimacy). We adopt a constitution (and not an ersatz symbolic constitution sauce Charest). Rocking the Lieutenant Governor in the gutter of history. Ownership of the exclusive power to levy taxes. Etc..

Together, the nationalists of the PQ and the ADQ could do great things. In 1995, Mr. Dumont was in the "Change Team". I do not see this as a contradiction, quite the contrary. The margin between the sovereignty-association and the 22 points of the Allaire report is extremely thin. Between the idea of a "broad autonomy" and that of a "satellite sovereignty," it is mainly the method that differs. The question in both cases, events and consistent pursuit of our legitimate self-determination.

6. ON TWO PARADOXES OF IDEOLOGICAL ADQ

When you think about it, there there is a very thin margin between sovereignty-association and the 22 points of the Allaire report.

If you want to work with the ADQ, refill activists and elected officials before their founding document. Currently, many ADQ are defined primarily in opposition to the PQ, an attitude which is frankly childish as for me. Other activists ADQ identify themselves primarily in neo-liberal discourse and the ADQ represents for them a comfortable political identity. But they are not ideologues, much less constitutional - they are neo-liberals who are primarily interested in economic doctrine of the party, and use only autonomism to combat the ideology sovereignty. This is the first ideological paradox of the ADQ.

short, it would suffice to teach the Allaire report ADQ and the true nature of the way of autonomy, so they soften slightly. The end of the honeymoon Parliamentary risk to calm a little, Dumont can now make gaffes that have real consequences, which was not previously the case.

If one considers that the ADQ is still his political vision and constitutional in the wake of the report Allaire (What some activists have openly denied, rogues), then any serious application of the program would lead Quebec to the following situation:
  1. irremediable opposition to the ideals promoted by the Liberal Party and the federalist doctrine generally
  2. a game Constitutional very hard, which would position Dumont and Harper
  3. antagonist actions of breaks affecting both the Quebec and Ottawa reports that the state structure Quebec
  4. an alliance vital, even indispensable, with the separatists and nationalists with some Liberals

can therefore be considered if Dumont had the courage of his convictions (or program), it follows a typical Quebec psychodrama as we've rarely seen. The ADQ believe they have in their hands a firecracker equivalent to the Beige Book Claude Ryan (nationalist petrified). In fact, they carry around in their pockets parka a real atomic bomb greyée a sash, the Allaire Report . What is absurd is to see the ADQ adopt a discourse "beige", while maintaining a party program "Allaire". This is the second ideological paradox of the ADQ. The best

way to force the ADQ to play our game would be to boost his nationalist activists (a significant part of this party) in the bombing of arguments by Allaire and autonomy in their education accelerated. Dumont would put in an impossible situation and force him to leave his lair Constitution (very cozy). This would also cause an unmanageable tension between the ADQ and the ADQ autonomy neo-liberals.
