A Quebecer says, "Harper Majority: End of Canada as we know it ."

If Harper wins a majority, Quebec will separate

Although this should be obvious to everyone, our moronic mainsteam media are not discussing it and therefore it is worth detailing how it will unfold.

Quebec is the most anti-Harper province in Canada. Take away the bulwark of the Bloc Quebecois seats in Parliament and rump Canada is overwhelmingly Barry Goldwater-like Harper Land. Quebec society at every level overwhelmingly opposes Harper’s cultural, social and economic conservatism. Quebecers are in fact repulsed by Harper’s retrograde conservatism and antidemocratic authoritarianism.

If Harper were to win a majority in Parliament, Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe will likely not want to spend five years as a front row spectator to Harper’s unfettered destruction of Canadian democracy. To salvage democracy for Quebecers, Duceppe would quit federal politics to take over as leader of the provincial Parti Quebecois. Duceppe is the most popular political figure in Quebec, second only to Rene Levesque in historic popularity amongst current Quebecers.

Personally I support Separation. I support people’s right to self determination everywhere, including of course in my native Quebec. As a Quebecer, I see more hope for democracy inside a separate Quebec than I do inside a Harper Canada. We have already seen how a minority Harper Government has chipped away at Canadian democracy. With a majority government, Canada’s sociopathic and hateful Prime Minister Harper will lay waste to what remains of Canada’s democratic institutions.
