I just don't buy it.

The NDP has no network on the ground in Quebec.  No GOTV effort, no campaign workers, no nothing.

I can't see them suddenly sweeping half the province.
:sleep:

Well, to be fair it was more than half the province, wasn't it?

As Josephus said, take comfort in the fact that you weren't the only one.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Well, those sorts of things are hard to catch ahead of time.  The perfect storm of Liberal weakness coupled with Bloc-exhaustion didn't give any signs that it would happen.  It happened so fast that only the polling and media could have been to blame.

The most amusing consequence of this unexpected outcome is to see all the federalist vermin in Quebec crowing about the victory of federalism.  :lol:

But isn't a vote for the NDP a vote to strengthen the state and eliminate the ability of Quebec to seperate?

See, and that's my point.  You guys are low-class buffoons.

Oh come on. She's got balls. All the best to her. We need more people like her. Canadians are otherwise too boring.

The whole Michael Moore thing, i agree, is stupid. Saying we need to start a revolution like in northern Africa.  :huh: Dude, we have elections here.

She was a Senate page.

The problem with her acts is now they're going to crack down on all pages that come after her, which is really unfortunate.
