Comments on: The Québécois, A Nation, Sort Of http://politicsandpress.com/2006/the-quebecois-a-nation-sort-of/ The interaction of the press and politics; public diplomacy, and daily absurdities.

As for Ignatieff, someone should shake his head to see if there is anything in it - a different form of Canadian roulette (note the French terminology - in honor of Mordecai Richler's Montreal). We like Ignatieff here down south since he was such a strong supporter of Mr. Bush and his war against whatever his war in Iraq was against. Time at Harvard does that to professors - note Schlesinger and his love sonnets to JFK. Canada will get what it deserves - just as they did when they elected Herr Martin. Ignatieff would seem to be old beer in new bottles. Is there any way we can bring Mordecai back to instruct Bob and Doug? If I were living in Vancouver I would want special recognition of the city as a Katmandu within a largely unpopulated space. Torana Leafs are not good - swept by the big bad Bruins this week.

Ignatieff is smart enough to know that this definition of nation is meaningless as long as Montreal is having a good year, and to everyone's surprise they are! Now if les habs continue their ways and get to play the also surprising Maple Leafs they can call Quebec the empire of tibet and it won't matter Bob and Doug here, taking a break from Candian roulette - shaking up one of a sixpack and then taking your chances - to explain Canuck politics to Jeff.
