Quebecers head to the polls

[sourdick]

Jumping off the excitement of federal politics for a moment, in the frozen-solid nation-province of Quebec, the first minority government in a century lead by Quebec Liberal Jean Charest has called an election for today. The government was formed in March 2007

Can you whip up a CHAREST IS HITLER video for me and post it in about three months?

[mijopo]

Dumb ass, Charest is a Liberal now; it'd have to be a "Charest is Stalin" video.

[suitablyemoname]

No, Charest is a Quebec Liberal.

So it's more like "Charest is Stalin-Josée".

The ADQ is hoping to hold on to its unprecedented gains made in the 2007 election when it elected 41 members to the legislature and formed Quebec's official opposition.

The ADQ is hoping to win, like, two, maybe three seats. Maybe.

Hi there, I fixed your post for you. :)

[sourdick]

Agreed. The seats they won last cycle are an anomaly that can only lightly be connected to distaste for both the Librals and the PQ. I think everyone was in shock on election night last year.

Like highschool boys, Quebec voters experimented flirting with an alternative party, and decided they didn't like it.

The idea of Mario Dumont sucking dicks is more than disturbing, I must say.

Boisclair was openly gay and ... well thats it, he had no chance of being premier. I sent him an email during the campaign asking him if he had a boyfriend. If so, howcome we never saw him, and is he cute, and if not, .. well, I don't need to repeat it in a public post.

I did not get a reply. :(

[sorceror]

Oh, dammit. I have to go vote. >_<

Anyone have anything interesting to say about the Quebec election, and whether it has any impact on anything remotely interesting

If the Liberals get a majority (as seems to be expected), we may be able to breathe for the next 4-5 years. Maybe. As long as Charest doesn't act like Bourassa and reopen the national unity file.

Other than that, I'm gonna have to freeze my ass off to the polling station. Which is probably only interesting to me.

[suitablyemoname]

That depends entirely on how attractive your ass is, now doesn't it.

[sorceror]

With the amount of cloth I intend to cover it with for warmth, I doubt you'd be able to judge.

[sourdick]

Oh, so just cause I flirt with people from York, you have to flirt with people from Montreal?

[suitablyemoname]

Witness also George Bush's.

In which election?

In 2004 the polls did have him ahead. In 2000, some of the polls had him behind but they weren't wrong insofar as they showed a preference for Gore who did win the popular vote.

[suitablyemoname]

In both elections exit polls had him losing and look what happened.

Meh.
