Recently I was greatly surprise to hear Rex Murphy criticizing Jack Layton’s position that the NDP will respect Québec decisions regarding a possible referendum on sovereignty.  While one can disagree with the independence of Québec, one can surely respect an opponent’s decision’s, I don’t see what is “weak” about that! Rex is quick to tell Continue reading →

It’s without big surprise that Michael Ignatieff decided to support the conservative budget. Ignatieff’s objective is to help Canada by restoring the significance of the Liberal Party. Not my choice, but then again, I am not a Liberal so quite frankly, the Liberals should not listen to me. I did support the coalition for two Continue reading →

Published in today’s 24hrs. This is the reality of our current Parliament: Two groups are proposing to form a minority government. One, right-wing, made of the Conservatives; the other, left-wing, made of the Liberals and NDP. Under the current Parliament, these two equally patriotic options need the support of the Bloc Québécois to govern. Just Continue reading →

My opinions being generally between both parties, the benefits of a unification between the Greens and NDP would be great for me: Finally I would know for whom to vote in an election.  Nevertheless, I believe the benefits would not just be for me, but also for both movements and consequently, Canada.  The Greens would Continue reading →

Stéphane Dion’s problem is not a lack of intelligence or knowledge. His problem is lack of courage and leadership. With this throne’s speech, he had an occasion to put his conviction in front of his party’s and his personal interest. He could have said that this is not in the interest of Canada and to Continue reading →

A short comment published in a local newspaper (Vancouver 24hrs) in September 2007. Maxime Bernier, said that Canada will never negotiate with terrorists. While I agree, by making this unnecessary comment, our new Minister of Foreign Affairs, transformed a Principle into a Dogma and has made the worst mistake a diplomat can make: give himself Continue reading →

“George Bush is not has moron At all!” This precision by Canadian the Prime Minister is very revealing. Not of the attitude of the head of the Canadian government towards his American counterpart.
