Where's her brain?

One seriously wonders how Marois' neurons are wired, because despite being attacked from all sides and blatantly going against common sense she perseveres in her insanity, going head-on against Charest, claiming she isn't intolerant but a "democratic person" who wants to have that debate (on law 195).

Enough discussion on law 195. Pauline Marois is demonstrating a lack of commonsense and totalitarian apartheid-like tendencies that probably stem from some kind of frustration. If this is true, someone please send her some chocolate! She might have taken example from the wackos who showed up at the Bouchard-Taylor hearings suggesting only french-speakers should be entitled to free Quebec healthcare and other drivel.

This means she's going after the most unrecommendable bunch of voters there can be. This might win her a few seats but will be a catastrophe for a province that needs skilled immigration if it wants to survive at all.

StatsCan reports that the net outflow from Quebec is highest since the year of the sovereignty referendum. Please, someone in the PQ pop their head out, open their eyes and take the hint!

Pauline, take a piece of advice. The group you are brown-nosing to is not a voter platform one can be proud of, let alone court. If anything parties should unite to inculcate some intelligence into those heads reverberating with dull and sinister hollowness. Have you still got anyone whose IQ is above 1 supporting you?

Please think. It's something you haven't been doing for a few days.

Premier speaks, doesn't say enough.

In a somewhat unsurprising move Jean Charest intervened directly in the debate over reasonable accommodation, to salvage the salvageable bits of Quebec's reputation of tolerance and openness. The Bouchard-Taylor talking shop, better defined a circus by now, has been an unfathomable failure, providing a relief valve for many people's repressed bigotry, ignorance and hate of anything that's not like them. If anything, the commission's conclusion should be that the greatest problem aren't the immigrants but some Quebecers' heads.

For the sake of Quebec's reputation and everyone's mental health please pull the plug on that commission right now, or bring it to Montreal and then pull it.

Lashing out at law 195 comes a little late. As Premier he should have condemned such a proposal the very second Pauline Marois pulled it out of her backside. Rather than promoting a culture, this law creates a government-imposed one, with severe punishment (privation of rights) for those who do not accept it. Unless one comes from Cuba or North Korea I think anyone would shiver at the thought of such an aberration.

It sounds like the whole province is going nuts. Charest should know that there's no problem a cup of tea can't solve. However he mostly lashes out at the other parties for "fanning the flames". He's not completely wrong, but the letter becomes just another bit of fire and political machination. It's time to call a tea break in this acrimonious debate. Pull the BT commission, get rid of law 195 and just all shut up for a month, take the time to learn the lessons from this debacle and do some self-analysis. Then start over.

As a responsible Premier, Charest should have done just that. Instead, he produced just another half-baked invitation to be more polite and restrained.
