Andre Boisclair new Parti Quebecois separatist leader

Boisclair Wins PQ Leadership

Quebec's separatist movement has a new leader.
Andre Boisclair won the leadership of the Parti Quebecois with a first ballot victory.

Boisclair received 53.7 per cent of first-round votes.

It will likely be 2007 before Boisclair gets a chance to defeat the governing Liberals.

The PQ leadership race was launched after Bernard Landry quit suddenly in June following lukewarm support at a party convention.

Boisclair is promising a quick referendum to take Quebec out of Canada if he becomes the next premier.

He immediately promised to seek a mandate to hold a referendum as soon as possible in the next P-Q mandate.

MICHAEL McCAFFERTY comments:

Ten years ago in 1995 the separatists in Quebec nearly won the referendum to separate from Canada. The federal Liberals in Quebec are as popular as a skunk at a tea party. The Gomery Report has made federalism in Quebec very unpopular.

Along comes this charismatic new leader of Quebec's Parti Quebecois who no doubt will become Quebec's new premier -- and guess what folks ? There will be another referandum on separation from Canada.

The federal Liberals have no credibility in Quebec -- they will nearly be wiped out by the BLOC QUEBECOIS in the federal election -- so all of us in Canada can thank the federal Liberals for pushing Quebec towards separation.

Andre Boisclair is a man with a mission -- to break up Canada. The left wing liberal media is excited by Boisclair. I hope he fails. Because if he succeeds Canada will be in danger !
