Quebec enjoyed strong representation in the Cabinet, judiciary, public service, and the Senate in 1982.<br />Any of thses groups could have fought harder against repatriation if they had cared to. In fact Quebec was poorly represented by Lesveque, who thought he still had a veto; he was outplayed completely by Trudeau. In a sense one gtoup of federal Quebecers prevailed over another set of provincial Quebecers.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442074610206099695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-58348991717828258412011-04-17T16:54:21.360-07:002011-04-17T16:54:21.360-07:00I am still waiting for anyone, federalist or separ...I am still waiting for anyone, federalist or separatist, to say that Quebec did ratify the constitution. 75 Liberal M.P.'s representing Quebec were in Parliament at the time.

He basically did <i>absolutley nothing</i> while people all across the country mobilized to rallies in Montreal and other places in Quebec to tell Quebecers that we wanted them to stay. I also remember Chretien crying and weeping like a baby at the thought that the country would be lost under his "leadership". And you know what, because of his inexcusable dithering, it almost was, within a hair! So the idea of him leading the federalist side is an unmitigated joke.<br /><br />So excuse me while I laugh when Ignatieff says that we shouldn't be fearful of separatism. That jerk-off wasn't even here during either referendum, so what the hell does HE know? While WE were sitting here actually dealing with it, this carpet-bagging dilettane was the man of the world, and anywhere but here.Michael Harkovnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-24697997050353548842011-04-17T15:40:18.315-07:002011-04-17T15:40:18.315-07:00with medias and reporters at his (Ignatieff)feet, ...with medias and reporters at his (Ignatieff)feet, the media sets the agenda for him-sort of keeps them busy from not doing their actual job.<br />I hope that they take into account Ignatieff's MAO'S quotes as Ignatieff legacy.<br />Furthermore the media is making a legacy of their own.
