The person most dedicated to blowing up the country right now is named
It's a sad statement on both Canadian and Québec politics (far worse than other countries I have spent time in) that so much of the 'debate' on policy takes the form of demonizing those we disagree with and impugning their motives rather than just debating the merits of their policy proposals.
The disappointment of that is quite poignant right now where the whole affair in Ottawa has come down to some politicians not only don't like one proposal that some others have made but actually refuse to a) debate it and b) accept it being retracted.
It's a great way to avoid discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of the proposed changes to collective bargaining law (also retracted), pension and rrsp changes and the accelerated infrastructure spending....
Be nice if one day in the future our members of parliament start speaking (of course they would need to listen to the public too)....
