Weird

Well, I like honest Conservatives, but Jay Currie's endorsement of a Bloc/Conservative coalition contains this odd graph:

It may be time to begin to think about Canada 2.0: a radically decentralized confederation in which the federal government loses most of its power and the provinces are recognized as rather closer to their electorates than the folks in Ottawa ever can be.

A radical rethinking of Canada is never going to happen with the Liberal Party in place. Essentially the Liberal Party is the Microsoft of Canadian politics: deeply committed to defending a legacy model which no longer works and, in places, actually gets in the way. To stretch the computing metaphor a bit further: think of the CPC as Apple and the Bloc as Google. (The NDP on this model is an IBM Selectric.)

Ha ha ha ha ha! See, it's funny because the NDP actually get's more votes than the BQ, time after time, and twice as many people use IBM Selectrics as.. Google? And do you really want to call the Conservatives Apple? As in, twice the cost of a Liberal government, with no better performance, and confined to 6% of the Canadian electorate?* Actually, that's starting to sound better by the syllable...

Earlier in the post, Currie made the laughable claim that Quebec can't be bought. Then he proceeds to lay out a plan to buy Quebec's loyalty, by essentially destroying Canada as a unified state. All I can say is that I hope Harper is listening to different people.

*Dear Mac-loving friends. Calm down, I'm just mocking Conservatives.
