Gilles Duceppe is not the devil

Hell, Upside Down (Free subscription) | 03/12/2008

Interesting article in the Ottawa Citizen by Kate Heartfield: I've been a little mopey lately about the fact that Canada was giving democracy a bad name, but now I'm not so sure. Last night, a friend from Burma commented on how remarkable it is to see opposition parties working together to actually, you know, oppose a government, instead of fighting amongst themselves. It's true: look at Zimbabwe,...

...on CTV... blatantly admit that he's supporting the so-called "coalition" ... simply to advance the Separatiste agenda . Well... you've gotta give Duceppe points for just coming out with the truth... instead of frantically dancing around it, like say... his partners in slime. When the media attempted to bring up the damaging remarks with Taliban Jack, he simply responded... "You'll have to take that...

Flummadiddle

Redeeming The Time (Free subscription) | yesterday

" Flummadiddle " is an interesting and unusual word that means "nonsense" or "something worthless." And it is a perfect word to describe what is going on in Ottawa these days. The pathetic attempt of Liberal leader Stephane Dion, NDP leader Jack Layton, and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe to seize power by forming a Liberal- NDP -Bloc coalition is downright embarrassing. When the Canadian people...

When doesn't 'no' mean 'no'?

The front page of Tuesday's Toronto Sun -- with Jack Layton, Stephane Dion and Gilles Duceppe sitting side-by-side to announce their proposed coup of a democratically-elected government -- lacked the cartoonish element it so richly deserved.

Now we've heard from Stephen Harper tonight, as well as Gilles Duceppe and Jack Layton. But there's one important man missing: Stephane Dion, who wants to lead a coalition government composed of the Liberals and the NDP with the support...

Why the kingmaker can't stop laughing

Globe and Mail (Free subscription) | yesterday

There is a Quebec political syndrome. It inspired the decision of Stephane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe to seize power, dumping the Conservatives.Is it coincidence that all three are from Quebec? Even Mr. Layton was born and bred there, graduating from McGill University. His father was a Quebec MP in the Mulroney government.

Things They Should Invent: alternate closed captions of the original material, not the interpretation

impudent strumpet (Free subscription) | yesterday

Right now Gilles Duceppe is speaking on TV in French and being simultaneously interpreted into English (because I'm on the English CBC and I don't know offhand where this is on TV in French). Simultaneous interpretation is necessarily awkward, and I don't blame the interpreter for this. I'm certainly not good enough to do it. However, it would be easier for me to follow along in French. My TV has the...

PROLONGING A CULTURE OF DEFEAT

The Legion of Decency (Free subscription) | yesterday

If you need any further evidence that our lives are run by trolls, just watch any newscast out of Ottawa this week. My God people! Maybe the Prime Minister we've got is an ill-tempered, ideological bore and not the best guy to be running this country. But these other guys.... Gilles Duceppe -- a man who hates Canada! Jack Layton -- a man who hates the free enterprise system! And Stéphane Dion -- a...

Canadian, huh?

Canadian, huh? Don’t those three look smug, and pleased with themselves? This picture is front and centre on newspapers Canada-wide under the huge header: “It’s a Done Deal.” Those three men, Jack Layton on the left, Stephan Dion in the middle, and Gilles Duceppe are all leaders of the main political parties who have just signed [...]

Don't those three look smug, and pleased with themselves? This picture is front and centre on newspapers Canada-wide under the huge header: "It's a Done Deal." Those three men, Jack Layton on the left, Stephan Dion in the middle, and Gilles Duceppe are all leaders of the main political parties who have just signed an 'agreement' to form a coalition government in Canada.

Enemies Of Canada

There's not a lot to say here. Just listen. It's a clip of Gilles Duceppe speaking to the media in Ottawa yesterday. After listening, if you still back the coaltion, then maybe you're no better than a seperatist. Wake up Canada! Hats off to Liberals John Manley and Frank McKenna who have decided to put Canada first and reject the coalition. They refuse to align themselves with seperatists. And wasn't...
