Harper Federal Tories need to know Quebec is a Coalition of Socialists and Separatists

Before the Brian Mulroney cum Stephen Harper backing Tory Lian Macdonald of the Montreal Gazette and Policy Options of the Institute for Research on Public Policy spins the recent CROP poll from La Presse into a Charest styled "I support the Conservative ideal wholeheartedly, but do feel nods towards socialism and concessions for separatism are needed to maintain Quebec" argument for La Belle Province, let us be very clear, Conservatism in Canada, or Toryism is both socialist and separatist. If you are currently neither, due to polarization, you are instead a Liberal. Unity has always been the buzzword that allowed Tories like John A. Macdonald, John Diefenbaker and Mulroney to have it both ways, traditionalism and progressivism, but when the means they used came to an eventual and final end for all three, none had a surplus, each had deficits and separatism or some form of nationalism was on the rise in Quebec, all with their help federally.

Likewise as in the present, the Conservatives under Harper have now traded their lead to the Bloc Quebecois, 35 then and now 34, Tories today total 16, only a point away from Jack Layton and his New Democrats at 15. Liberals, the original antiseparatists, are in second with 31, surging on the new power Michael Ignatieff gives, while the Harper Tories lost, amongst francophones of the province, almost half of its support overall. Harper himself has lost the other question of leadership, as to who should be the next Prime Minister, Ignatieff has it with 37, Layton comes in second with 23 and Harper gets a sweet 16, proving at this point in time, Quebecois have taken quite to heart what the Prime Minister said in his early December address to the nation about that coalition driven by separatists and socialists, an actual attack on the culture and values of the majority of Quebecois themselves. After everything Harper gave to it, giving his all, literally turning on his original supporters, three different cirles of them, abortion for the social conservative, trust funds for the fiscal conservative and Quebecois nation resolution plus elected Senate for the democratic reformers, there really is nothing left on his table for his own hardcore supporters, his end is nigh and that light is at the end of his tunnel.

Add to all this as well, economic times Harper promised would not be have indeed become, especially for one with a Master's degree in economics from the University of Calgary, the implications are beyond obvious. By misjudging the economic, social and political situation now, he actually has made it difficult to make any real progressive forward in these same areas later, accordingly the 61 percent of Quebecois who answered they were dissatisfied with the Harper Tory government’s handling of federal affairs were not just members of that vilified coalition he spoke about to our nation, but rather the province at large who had been polled. Which is why the Harper Federal Tories in Ottawa need to know Quebec is a Coalition of Socialists and Separatists and vote accordingly, that said, after seeing the recent federal budget and hearing about intentions by Albertans for Independence, perhaps the same could apply to a good percentage of those sitting on the governing side of the seemingly glass built House with an opposition waiting outside with stones in hand.
