So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
But there is no sunken treasure / Rumored to be / Wrapped inside my ribs / In a sea black with ink I am so / Out of tune / With you — Jeff Tweedy, Sunken Treasure |

M. Duceppe has spoken out, claiming that ‘Bloc MP’s are the only ones who will speak out for Quebec.’
Sorry M. Duceppe, I just don’t buy it.
From the extremely narrow highly biased pre-defined viewpoint of your separatist agenda, absolutely. The rest of the country’s MPs will continue to argue in favour of a unified country, at least until your vote comes.
Then watch out for the west.
I digress, however. The point is every MP speaks out for Quebec. I’m so tired of David Emerson — the senior minister for BC — making announcements in Quebec, from Quebec and about Quebec. Every other press release from his office is an announcement about some grant, incentive, policy or loan that will benefit Quebec.
I love Quebec, don’t get me wrong. Montreal would be my prefered home outside of Vancouver, and I miss the culture of French that should exist here; it really should, given how predominantly French the west was only a century ago.
But, M. Duceppe, don’t try to get me to swallow this line that no one speaks out for Quebec. Quebec has benefited from Confederation disproportionately since the day the ink dried on that agreement.
