...The country get angry at the one-way street?

Charest is often called "The Most Federalist Premier In A Lifetime", yet he almsot never stops bitching about Ottawa because when he isn't seen as "Fighting For Quebec" his polls drop. After the billions in extra transfers - which paid for a $750 million tax cut in their last election - he's still going on and saying that the fiscal imbalance exists.

Further, there doesn't appear to be too many "Canada champions" amongst francophone Quebecois. Shouldn't a few of us who pay attention at least be able to name one?

Honestly, if I'm complaining about a swing away from Federalism, I point fingers at Harper too. - Reagen Oct 21, 08:25

- It's being viewed as very-much a one-way street however, and I believe that Quebecois would be prudent to recoginize that fact. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 08:29
