Speak Up

Well here we go again, more demands and blackmail by Quebec.

According to an article aired on CBC radio on Oct. 15 Gilles Duceppe the separatist PQ leader wasted no time in boasting that his party by winning 50 seats in the Federal election was successful in keeping the Harper Conservatives from winning a majority.

He also put forth more demands from our newly elected government, such as even larger transfer payments for Quebec and more French language in the rest of Canada, apparently regardless of cost.

If the PQs goal is to eventually separate from the rest of the country how would more French language outside Quebec be of any benefit to their cause?

It's quite obvious that there is no immediate plan to do so now that there is another minority government in Ottawa that they can continue to blackmail and bleed financially, that is if the have provinces will continue to tolerate such a scheme. If they do, it will be to the detriment of the whole country, which will soon put Quebec into a financial and military position to take control of Canada and declare it a French country. Over the past four decades the majority of our military hardware has been purposely placed on Quebec soil by mostly past Liberal governments.

Quebec houses the only munitions factory in Canada and has a highly subsidized company capable of building aircrafts and other equipment. And also beware of what activities that have and are taking place at Trudeau's Maribel airport that was strategically located north of Montreal.

One might ask, who are the real separatists in Ottawa?

It's long past time that our politicians from the other provinces stood up and put a halt to what has been transpiring for the past forty years.

What other country would allow a separatist group to sit in their parliament dictating policy to fulfill their own goals at taxpayers expense? Probably none.

On Oct. 14th Canadians made a grave mistake by not giving the Conservatives a clear mandate to govern. without being blocked by the opposition parties that would almost certainly support the Quebec cause.

Many Canadians are now openly stating that if Quebec does not wish to be an equal partner in the federation then they should leave and the sooner the better.
