Boisclair out, Duceppe (about to be) in

The writing was on the wall some time ago ...

Duceppe is charming and slimy and that is what we should be afraid of ...

I am moving to thoughpolice's place ...

I love Duceppe.

You are welcome Beachie but my wife may tire of constant threesomes, she isn't as tolerant as she once was.

I hadn't heard Boisclair was out.

I wonder how this will affect travel to the troubled region of Quebec. Has the government issued any travel warnings? I am supposed to visit in July. Will I be safe?

Don't you have guest house I can live in?

Time will tell; I suppose ...

I figure that people are just sick of this separation talk; in the end we all lose because of it ...

Yeah - but this is good for the Federalists at the national level isn't it?
Who's the Bloc gonna replace Duceppe with now?

The only reason Duceppe did so well in the last election was the sponsorship scandal anyways. Prior to that he'd presided over the weakest election result for the Bloc ever....

Nah, the Bloc is nothing but a farm team for the PQ anyway, Bloc leaders don't ever accomplish anything at the federal level, because if they did, it would "hurt" the "sovereignty cause" (i.e. if life in Canada is better, they lose their argument on why Quebec should separate). Whoever the Bloc puts in as leader will spend some time learning the ropes and then be parachuted in as the next PQ leader in 5 years or so. That's just how it goes, cause the PQ is seemingly incapable of developing viable leadership candidates internally.

Duceppes departure can't hurt the seat totals of the other federal parties in Quebec though.

Is it true that Boisclair was the first Parti leader to never be Premier of Quebec?

The OP's analysis is nonense. The PQ and separatism generally are on the wane. The PQ had its worst showing in over 30 years and is reduced to a third party. Duceppe would, at this point, be picking up the remants on a party that refuses to budge on the Independence option, an option that Quebecers are rejecting. So long as federalists don't do anything particularly stupid like talking about the Constution, then the separatists will continue their decline into marginal status.
