Layton and the Clarity Act
Take a look at Joey Slinger's column. I'm not sure Slinger's got it all right here, as I've talked to a lot of people over the years that really don't have any love for Quebec and the separatists. In fact, one of them is me. Quebec gets special treatment at every step of the way, but still all many of their politicans do is whine for more.
Remember the phrase that the rest of Canada used during the Quebec Referendum several years ago? "My Canada includes Quebec."
Well, I have an extension to it: "My Canada includes Quebec, but only if they want to be here."
It's difficult to tell if Jack Layton is really pandering to the separatists or if he really believes Quebec should be allowed to make up its own mind in this. If they can agree to help form Canada on their own, then maybe they should be allowed to leave Canada on their own.
