First and foremost, i don't usually like bringing up politics, because its one of those discussions that nobody can agree, and everyone usually gets upset with everyone else. But I am making an exception today. This goes beyond the realm of politics, and into the territory of common sense.
OK, I'm not a "Partie Quebecois" fans to begin with ( but that is another topic for discussion ) but how can a political party continue to support a moron like Andre Boisclair. The most recent of his indiscretions ( if i can use the word ) happened yesterday while giving a speech at a Trois-Rivieres university. Links ( English, French ). Where he called students of Asian decent "yeux bridés" the French translation of "slanted eyes".
After making such a derogatory comment, not only did he not realize it was offensive, he refused to apologize for saying it, saying he didn't think it was insulting. Where did they find this clown. It's one thing to not realize the word insulted some people, but if it did, you could at least apologize for it, saying that you did not intention to insult anyone, and apologize to those it hurt.
Can this really be the best person the PQ could find to lead their party to victory. If so it makes me wonder how bad the rest of them have to be, if this is the most "politically correct" one of them all.
not enough about politics. Who else thinks the Canadians have to start taking some serious actions if they hope to not become the laughing stock of the NHL this year. Second best in the first half of the season to second worst....

La solution : Le Canadien doit mettre André Boisclair sur le power play!
Il faudrait pas généraliser. Je crois que le commentaire de André Boisclair n'est pas si offensant....Tout dépend de la façon dont il est interprété. Toute est une question d'interprétation. Par contre je suis d'accord avec toi que ce n'est pas une chose à dire lorsque l'on dirige un parti politique. Pour ce qui est du choix du candidat, à voir les candidats qui étaient en lice pour le poste de chef du PQ, je crois que les membres du PQ ont fait comme nous c'est-à-dire élire le moins pire.......
Et en plus, Charest et Dumont ont aussi dit que les propos n'étaient pas offensants...
