The NDP came closest to forming government when it nearly swept Quebec in 2011, but the province has now largely turned its back on the social-democratic party and tuned out of its ongoing leadership race, a new Léger poll has found.

I called this. I called it good and long. I remember when Layton got his ‘Orange Wave’ in Quebec everyone thought it would become his and the NDP’s beachhead and base that would be good for at least becoming the main oppo, if not government. I shook my head and said ‘they’re f*cked’. They traded their simple to please rural backers for newer, hipper folk-which would make sense if that’s what they got in Quebec. The problem isn’t so much that Quebec is too far left (it’s actually one of the few provinces being fiscally righteous lately) but that it’s got TOO MANY LEFTS. Schizo neurotic province. It’s got the standard left, the hard left, and the nationalist left, and the pathologies of the latter have been bleeding out to others. Too many plats to spin and that’s why Quebec was and is a trap for the NDP.
Quebec goes with whoever gives the biggest handouts. Mulroney when he got his 2 majorities, the ransoms under the PQ and now back to the Liebels with Turdeau Jr. Simple equation.

“UNME BOASTS…I called this. I called it good and long.”
apparently, unme… a goodly chunk of your self-esteem depends largely on approval
from the gang at sda. have you actually noticed how most of your brainwaves have
been received?
perhaps you should read slower.

You can stop projecting onto me anytime now.

oh, unme… how can i stop now? i’m agog at your worldly-wise philosophies…
for example… “NME: you sucked at parenting. Stop blaming drugs.”
keep ’em coming… we all appreciate being schooled by the disciples of
pm selfie.

give them ONE term, let them show us what appaling incompetents they are,
and send them back into the obscure fringe.
