We would care more if Conservatives were more out spoken about it. Sadly I don't think enough people in ROC even know.frmgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502680468496747562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850973949490261969.post-70531104854633604852011-01-14T13:20:09.813-07:002011-01-14T13:20:09.813-07:00I don't understand why the Conservatives don&#...I don't understand why the Conservatives don't use more as a talking point the fact that by subsidizing the Bloc we are indirectly subsidizing the Parti Quebecois. The P.Q. aren't that great fundraisers and weren't even too popular until recently (though Quebeckers would love to have third option - come back Mario Dumont, we need you now). A lot of the people, resources and research are shared by the two parties. Hell, Duceppe would still like to head up the P.Q. if Pauline Marois would just get out of the way.<br /><br />Maybe the rest of Canada doesn't care or follow this too much, but this money makes a real difference in a bad way here in Quebec.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850973949490261969.post-71092106179617883242011-01-14T12:12:37.809-07:002011-01-14T12:12:37.809-07:00In my view, this is not so much about the $27M but...In my view, this is not so much about the $27M but about the principle of extricating the government from our lives, as was the case with the census. I like it, I applaud the PM for these type of principled stands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850973949490261969.post-54593407238701636462011-01-14T11:46:51.107-07:002011-01-14T11:46:51.107-07:00I don't want more talk, I want action.

One thing that would surely happen, the party that can't raise money will find leaders who can!!! A "freebee" for the Liberals in their present dilemma.
