I love Québec. I firmly believe that a strong, proud Province of Québec within Canada enhances and strengthens both sides and that a Québec decision to leave Canada would be unfortunate for Canada and probably even more unfortunate for Québec.
However, I must say that the selection of André Boisclair to lead the Parti Québécois tickles the ironic side of my political funnybone. Why? Just considering that a young, gay, cocaine user might actually succeed in divorcing Québec from Canada where the wise old statesmen like René Lévesque, Lucien Bouchard, and Bernard Landry have failed. If nothing else, it would prove the universe has a (rather nasty) sense of humour.

I think irony is the main ingredient of a Canada with Quebec, or perhaps - a Quebec with Canada?
:-)
I would say that patience is the main ingedient going in with irony the product most commonly coming out!
Still, it's only fair to point out the PQ may have picked as their leader someone that Jean Charest can actually beat in the next election (which again would be more irony) :-)
