Whither liberalism.

Cultural nationalism takes precedence.

Isn’t Charest babbling about “too much English” being spoken?

Of course.

It’s 2008…30 years since the passage of Bill 101 and we’ve got to the point at which a person is considered a federalist if they supports this race law/hate law.

And it’s not just the Charest’s and Neil McKenty’s of the world; it is the Stephane Dion’s and Stephen Harper’s of the world, too.

That’s why this country must end. As wonderful as the concept of Canada is, there are other concepts that are more important.

One of those concepts is individual freedom, the cornerstones of which are free speech and freedom of association, both violated by Bill 101 (not to mention equality guarantees).

Federalists have adopted the principle that individual freedom is to be sacrified to save Canada (i.e. appease the Quebec separatists by letting them have their Bill 101).

I say we’ve got our priorities wrong. I say: if there’s any sacrificing that should be done, it’s Canada that should be sacrified for individual rights and not the other way around.

Isn’t Charest babbling about “too much English” being spoken?

Yeah, he’s a winner alright. An opportunistic one.

Charest lives in Westmount which is one of the greatest federalist bastions in the country.

…and its Liberal MNA is Jacques Chagnon who is, of course, a separatist.

Why do I blaspheme thus and cast dispersions upon a man who always has and will continue to claim to his predominantly English-speaking Westmount constituents that he is a die-hard federalist?

Because Chagnon told me that he was a separatist himself.

Flashback to 1989. Westmount City Hall. Pre-election. The coming-out party for William Cosgrove (flown in from Washington D.C. to be the star Liberal candidate for Westmount, selected personally by Robert Bourassa) and his annoucement as candidate. I asked Chagnon, who showed up to support his fellow candidate, what will happen if Meech Lake doesn’t go through. He looked me in the eye and said: we will separate. He was sincere, earnest, and had the glint of separatist/fascist anger in his eyes.

And I don’t think Chagnon has had any great epiphony since then about how great Canada is. All that changed was that his St. Louis riding boundaries got redistributed to encompass Westmount which, of course, then required him to start lying better.

You Westmounters thought you only had a MNA separatist when Dickie Holden switched to the PQ back in 1992. Well, guess again; you’ve had one ever since.

The citizens of Westmount may be federalist but their MNA isn’t.

Charest lives in Westmount which is one of the greatest federalist bastions in the country.
