Quebec Federal Liberals Reject Missile Defence

Posted on Monday, December 06 at 11:53 by mikeymike555
The Quebec wing of the federal Liberal Party has said a resounding 'no' to Canadian participation in a continental missile defence plan.

"I feel there is always a time where we have to take a stand and the Liberals from Quebec took a stand today," Liberal MP Denis Coderre told reporters on Saturday following a policy meeting in Montreal.

But Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew cautioned that the resolution was just the beginning of the debate.

"The dialogue continues. We will continue to work on (this)," he said.

    If Quebec Liberals want to take a stand on something - they should take a stand in front of a judicial inquiry into the sponsorship scandal and stand for the corruption they sponsored, that would get them some real respect and maybe just a little jail time, instead of 'taking a stand' on an issue grabbed from the populist headlines, big deal.

    Come on. There's corruption all over the country. It's not Quebec's fault that the corruption in their province has actually been recognized. Personally, I kind of wish someone would investigate here.

    Anon, perhaps you should yawn the next time you go to the beach, in whatever country you choose. In this country, you had better pay attention. Sleeping on the job gets you fired.
