Skippy, at Enjoy Every Sandwich, on how he came to admire Rene Levesque;
As much as most Canadians will piss, moan and call me a traitor, they cannot argue that history isn’t on my side. Since I’ve graduated from high school, a number of artificial countries, notably Yugoslavia, Czechleslovakia, and – sooner rather than later, Iraq – have fractured beyond repair. These nations did not dissolve because of external pressures, but rather because of internal ones. I defy any Canadian to name one national idea that binds Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta together that isn’t merely “we’re not Americans.” And I’m not sure that you can sustain a nation on the premise that it is not the home of the Oak Ridge Boys.
(I should caution readers that Skippy hasn’t had sex for 214 days, and appears somewhat “edgy” as a result.)
I shouldn’ t speak ill of the recently dead, particularly when they’ve been dead for less than a week, but since I’m going to hell anyways, I may as well. Corinne Cote-Levesque must have been a colossal pain in the ass! Maybe she wasn’t on the Nicole Simpson scale of annoyance, but it must have been pretty bad for Rene.
Again, I refer back to Courtney Love. Sure, she’s a handful. But when her depressive, substance-abusing husband Kurt Cobain, had his fill of her, he did the sensible thing and blew his head off in the greenhouse above the garage. You can’t seriously be suggesting to me that the Premier of Quebec didn’t have a greenhouse above his garage, can you?
Heh. (language warning)
Skippy is right. There is no there here.
Mark
Ottawa
Ted Morton for Premier, cheer up Mark there is there here
typo, I meant there is here here.

As an Ex-Quebecor, I would say your picture is pretty damn accurate.
There are a lot for Quebec individuals who seem like pretty good folks to me. But, but,
But the complex mish mash of conditions I saw in 1962-3 were enough for me to say ” I’ll let those who really care about this project of Quebec, work on it.
Me? Well I’m off to B.C. where the mountains and the logging roads are great for endless 250cc dirt-bike exploration and there are no complex French / English issues to waste time on.
I know. I’m just so damn selfish, but I only have one lifetime to do things. Maybe in the next life I’ll be more generous and do something in politics.
B.C. is just heaven on earth. All those Germans who come here and gush about the province are really really smart too. 73s TG

“Canada is an artificial country”
Exactly. The. Problem.
So, do we support maintaining the illusion?
And, Oh yeah, Skippy, Yer not getting any because you just admire the wrong people.
Dirty Rene L? What are you thinkin’? TG
