Canadian Election. Colby's article is realistic. He doesn't talk much about the Quebec difficulty for anyone wanting to form a really national government. Due to its population and defined nature Quebec has always presented difficulty in creating a national government. The best way of summarizing it goes something like this: Quebec is in favour of Canada so long as it runs it. When the federal government doesn't present a face to the province which looks expressly "Quebecois", (lots of Quebec names in the federal cabinet and lots of federal government patronage going to Quebec), then it trots out the separatist guns and we hear things like "Canada is not a real country." Except for the Mulroney government - for which Brian Mulroney put together a Quebec coalition which included a lot of people who were not conservatives - the Conservative party in recent times has never been able to put forward a leadership which has any deep resonance in Quebec. Mulroney could it because he is a Quebecker and a red hot political animal. And in the end, the Quebeckers were his downfall. I'm interested in how much support for the Conservatives actually turns up in Quebec on elction day.
