Isn't it interesting!!
A day after Gilles Duceppe stated that the "honey moon is over" for Harper, the PM comes out and announces a $110 million dollar funding initiative for Quebec City. This money is set aside to help the city celebrate and promote the fact that it is turning 400 years old in 2008.
All I can say to that is why can't I have a $110 million dollar birthday party? Ohhh that isn't what I really wanted to say. What I do want to say is that I suppose Harper still has his heart set on Quebec. He wants to make inroads there.
Silly Gilles though is making some pretty funny remarks which could make it easier for the Cons to achieve their mission of taking over a province like Quebec. He was recently reported saying that Canada should consider adopting a common currency. While I'm not sure that I agree with this 100%, adopting an "American dollar" in a nation trying to separate itself from the debacle that is US politics isn't exactly the smartest thing to say. I would say that I do like the idea of having a common currency. They have one in Europe so why can't we here! My only problem is I wouldn't want my money to only have American Presidents on it. If we were to do the whole sharing the currency thing with the rest of North America it would have to have some Presidents and Prime Ministers from the three nations. But I digress.
Either way I smell an election before we are ready as I've stated before. Should prove to be an interesting couple of months a head of us.
