So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
If your life is a leaf / that that the seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love / that is graceful and green as a stem — Leonard Cohen, Sisters of Mercy |

This should come as no shock to anyone:
The Globe and Mail: Duceppe gets massive support in confidence vote
In a followup leadership review to an election which tied the Bloc Quebecois’ best showing ever, there was little doubt that Gilles Ducepped would continue on as leader.
Duceppe has been charismatic and effective. While Stephen Harper floundered in the face of the sponsorship scandal, Deceppe was put forward a vision of Quebec that the electorate could vote for. In doing so, he also earned a key role in the most contentious parliament in recent memory.
Is Duceppe this generation’s Rene Levesque? I don’t think so - I think Levesque’s image still looms large in Quebecer’s mind - but Duceppe is well positioned to be the first leader of a sovereign Quebec nation.
Paul Martin is too weak a leader to win a fight against this man.
