Trudeau son Justin mulls possible separate Quebec

[Grumpy Cat]

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The son of one of the greatest defenders of Canadian unity, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, has stirred up a hornets' nest by speculating about backing Quebec separatism if the country moves too far right

Trudeau's 40-year-old son, Justin, now a Liberal member of Parliament, said in an interview with the French-language service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp (http://link.reuters.com/gud66s)
on Sunday that he was enormously saddened by the direction of the country under Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

He said that at some point he might even back independence for his home province, French-speaking Quebec. Referendums in Quebec on independence in 1980 and 1995 both failed, the last one by a mere 1.2 percentage points.

"I always say, if at a certain point I thought that Canada was really the Canada of Stephen Harper - that we were going against abortion, and we were going against gay marriage and we were going backwards in 10,000 different ways - maybe I would think about wanting to make Quebec a country," he said.

That statement caught the CBC interviewer off guard, and he asked him to verify what he had just said.

"Yes, yes, absolutely. If I no longer recognized Canada, I know my values very well," he said, and then added: "But I believe deeply in Canada."
His father was Liberal prime minister of Canada from 1968 to 1979 and again from 1980 to 1984, and he fiercely defended a united Canada that included his native Quebec.

It took a little time for Justin Trudeau's remarks to be noticed broadly but they exploded on the Internet on Tuesday and his name was trending on Twitter, drawing him into the fray with a Tweet of his own.

A fellow Canadian asked him on Twitter, "Please reassure me you are not OK with Quebec separating."

He responded: "Don't worry...: exactly the opposite: Canada needs Qc to balance out Harper's vision that I (and many) just don't support."
He did not respond to queries from Reuters.

Even 17 years after the last Quebec referendum, the topic is still raw with emotion among Canadians who fretted about the Alaska-sized province being torn out of their country, and among the separatists who came within a whisker of winning in 1995.

Those pushing for Quebec independence are currently in some disarray but vow to press ahead with another try when the conditions are right.

Harper's Conservatives were reelected last May with a majority in the House of Commons, reducing the once-mighty Liberals to third-party status.

Harper has pledged not to reopen debate on abortion or gay marriage, both of which are legal in Canada.

Pierre Trudeau died in 2000.

This article was clearly written by a non-Canadian. The 95 vote was not a constitutionally valid referendum on separation. It was pure deceptive politicking - and even it failed.

That said I think Quebec should have been given full political autonomy 80 years ago.

So, you're a conservative? How do you justify supporting that party with their rampant Zionism and being a European preservationist? I'm curious.

I support PM Harper's position regarding Israel, and I also do not consider the Likud Party plus others from the right-wing in Israel as enemies, quite the contrary.

Barack Hussein Osama (Obama) hates PM Netanyahu with a passion, to me that right there tells me he must be a good guy, although I have always thought Netanyahu was OK.

Israel's continuing plight with the violent Jihadis who want to kill them, I do not see how this ties in with European preservation.

Oh really? This is what Zionist Jews want for Europe and the West. In every country but Israel, which they want to retain it's Jewish character.

Stephen Harper supports them.

I have seen that video before. That woman is an insane Leftist self-hating Jew who is trying to stir up hatred of Israel. People like her are non-religious Jews (Reformed Judaism) who are supporters of international Communism / NWO.

Harper is friends with the Likud Party, which is no friend of people like her.

Still doesn't answer why Israel today sends Africans who seek refuge in Israel to white countries like Canada as well as Australia and Europe (they send Palestinians to Europe to) because they want to retain the Jewishness of Israel, but don't care about the culture of other countries they push multiculturalism there, and immigration in Canada under Harper has been the highest in history.

If Harper has friends like these guys, he does not need enemies.

I think eventually all of Canada will become part of USA. With the enormous amount of immigration that went on in the past 5 years in every major city of US and Canada, it looks like this will become reality. So no separation for any part of North America. Even Mexico will be part of this realm soon.

I have heard all these 'arguments' and talking points from the David Duke fan club and the Free Gaza Fruitcake Brigade a million times.

PM Harper is friends with Netanyahu and the Likud Party. This is going to be the reality in Canada for probably another 5 years anyhow.
