sometimes I don't have the energy to prove everybody wrong
Interesting turn of events in politics yesterday. Like they're saying, noboby saw this coming, for Harper to propose a motion recognizing Quebec nationhood within Canada. Very interesting. I'm not sure if it's because of his wild unpredictability or because of this image, but I find myself becoming more fond of Stevie recently. Excerpt from Maclean's article:
Interesting turn of events in politics yesterday. Like they're saying, noboby saw this coming, for Harper to propose a motion recognizing Quebec nationhood within Canada. Very interesting. I'm not sure if it's because of his wild unpredictability or because of this image, but I find myself becoming more fond of Stevie recently. Excerpt from Maclean's article:"However unlikely it seems, even in hindsight, Canada's great political drama of 2006 culminated Tuesday in an afternoon of remarkable theatre - one that surely establishes Ignatieff as the most influential Canadian politician of the moment.How the Liberal leadership candidate plunged Canada into a national unity debate nobody saw coming | ¶ 1:58 p.m.
Consider his achievements in just the past few months.
The rookie MP's musings on Quebec's nationhood have dominated the Liberal leadership race this fall and hijacked the party's internal discourse. Now, his views have proven so inspiring that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been forced to acknowledge both Quebec's special status and the need for national unity - a move that has now united the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP in rare solidarity against the Bloc Quebecois. At the same time, if Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe's words are followed to their logical end, Ignatieff may have also inspired another referendum on Quebec sovereignty."
