The Liberal party should ABSOLUTEL...Yes, yes, yes!<br /><br />The Liberal party should ABSOLUTELY stand as the strong federalist voice in Quebec. It's foolish to try to win separatist votes: everyone in Quebec knows that it was the Liberal party that brought in the Constitution, and no amount of pandering would ever change that. It only weakens the federalist cause.<br /><br />Instead, it's crucial - both for the party, and more importantly for the country - that the Liberal party be extremely aggressive about exploding separatist myths about the Constitution and how it was patriated. <br /><br />It's a win-win for the Liberals. They can both expose the dangerous NDP flirtation with separatists, which will increase Liberal popularity outside Quebec; and expose separatist lies for what they are, rehabilitating the Liberal image within Quebec. <br /><br />I was very glad to hear that the Sherbrooke Declaration was the subject of the very first Liberal communique after the Mulcair win. I hope very much that the party will continue to press the NDP on this issue.Vancouveroishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612421378173745791noreply@blogger.com
