Québec : Je peux vous dire avec une certitude absolue qui remportera les prochaines élections.

Les passionnés de politique et les partisans inconditionnels sont enthousiastes et pleins d’énergie à l’approche de la prochaine campagne électorale, prévue pour le 5 octobre. Quelles que soient nos allégeances politiques, nous attendons ce moment avec beaucoup d’impatience et de ferveur.

Pour ceux qui ont pris le temps de sonder leur famille et leurs amis, trois noms reviennent sans cesse : le PQ, la CAQ et le PLQ. Mais le choix entre ces partis ne sera pas le véritable enjeu. En effet, la campagne de la peur sera la seule gagnante des prochaines élections. Ceux qui seront le parti le plus apte à maîtriser et à manipuler cet outil sortiront vainqueurs sur toute la ligne.

Une première campagne de peur portera sur deux thèmes : la langue française et la préservation d’une société laïque. Cet enjeu sera le principal cri de ralliement du PQ, mais il sera également débattu par les autres partis. Si cette question demeure la principale préoccupation des Québécois, la voie sera alors ouverte au PQ.

Il va sans dire qu’une autre campagne de peur sera centrée sur la souveraineté. Cet effort psychologique sera la suite logique des campagnes du « non » de 1980 et de 1995. Elle portera principalement sur la situation économique et le niveau de vie de la population. 

En somme, pour chaque Québécois, ce sera un combat personnel entre le cœur et la raison. Pour ma part, je prévois avec tristesse et un certain regret que les considérations économiques l'emporteront, et si cela se produit, ce sera uniquement à l'avantage du PLQ. En substance, les fantômes de 1775 prendront le dessus sur les réalités de la vie moderne.

Le destin d’une nation devrait toujours reposer sur les idéaux, les rêves et les aspirations d’un peuple. Mais au Québec, à deux reprises déjà, la population a choisi de ne pas s’engager sur la voie de l’histoire. La peur suivra son cours habituel. Il est désormais évident que cette option particulière n’est pas, de nos jours, et ne peut pas dans le futur servir de bonne voie pour déterminer le destin d’un pays et d’une collectivité.

Helping Out The National Post.

[Fred] "DeLorey said Poilièvre must work out precisely why the party lost another election [our third in a row if we don't count Harper's loss in 2015] and what needs to be done differently before voters go to the polls again."

We lost because no one likes Pierre. What needs to be done differently? Get a new leader to at least have a fighting chance in next fall's election. 

Why Canada Has Trouble Coming Out White In The Wash.

Few use the term confederation to describe our political structure these days, especially given that economic might rests principally in two jurisdictions: Ontario and Alberta. In point of fact, this economic and political arrangement is indeed a federation, one in which economic jealousy is far more powerful than political resentment. Much noise is made about so-called Laurentian elites, read Quebec, dominating our federation, but in economic terms, nothing could be further from the truth. 

At its most raw, separatism is a pocketbook issue where an argument is made that economic reality can be vastly improved by going it alone. Those who choose to be the most candid and realistic are forced to acknowledge that, for most of our history, Canada's interests have equated with Ontario's interests. The green-eyed monster lives and thrives with each announcement adding to the economic importance of that citadel on a hill otherwise known as Toronto. The urge to go solo stems from there. 

A concrete and pointed example can be found in the recent decision taken where Canada will host the multilateral Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB) and guess what, the traditional divides and cleavages are alive and well as Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia battle it out for the nod. Lucky Carney. No matter how you slice and dice this one, it won't end well for the federal government.

Ain't federalism just grand! More resentment and unending bickering ahead. 

The Master Plan: The Fix Is Already In.

Can you say Brookfield Infrastructure Partners? I'm shocked.

TheUndertakerTM Is Going To Go Out There And Fight For Canada.

Now we know that the country is really doomed. He'll do as good a job with this file as he did in the last election. God help us.

Trump Really Loves And Respects Women!

Trump's really showing us who he is, as if we didn't already know it. 

Both Starmer and Poilièvre Will Be Brutally Removed.

These two are bona fide idiots: in Starmer's case, it's particularly galling given the fact that over sixty percent of Labour members want him out! And so he will inevitably be removed with gusto by the party. In Poilièvre's case, he's already gone crazy: he actually tells people with a straight face that he's the future prime minister. Ha, ha, ha, what a fucking joke. This guy is completely delusional. He will use any excuse, real or imagined, to hang on. So far, our caucus is nothing but a bunch of cowards. I don't call him TheUndertakerTM for nothing, given that politically he's precisely that. If he leads us into the fall election, our party will get royally creamed. So, for me, it will be a delayed nirvana rather than an immediate gratification. In either case, Pierre will be gone for good, and I, for one, will celebrate with a bottle of champagne. That's what I like about being me: I either win now and he leaves, or I win this fall when he loses his second election and then finally goes. He won't be truly missed by anyone. Well, maybe by Byrne! LOL.
