As Pete McMartin said in the Sun today, "Quebec may not officially be a different country, but it is a different planet".
From his column today:
"My favourite story of this election comes out of the Quebec riding of Berthier-Maskinonge, where NDP candidate Ruth Ellen Brosseau chased a long-standing Bloc Quebecois incumbent out of office. Ms. Brosseau won with 40 per cent of the vote.
Ms. Brosseau -an assistant manager in a university pub whose chief political accomplishment, according to NDP literature, has been "finding homes for stray animals" -neither lives in the riding nor speaks French fluently, if at all. She could not confirm if she even visited it during the campaign, since she gave no interviews. She did, however, find time to vacation in Las Vegas."
I think there should be lots of amusing stories coming out of Quebec with all the rookie MP's.
