Default Canada not about to break up

Well, politics is fickel, and the election didn't go Pauline's way. Not
only did the Parti Quebecois fall from having 54 seats in the Quebec
National Assembly down to only 30 seats, Pauline was beaten by a Liberal
candidate in her own riding. There are 126 seats in the Quebec National
Assembly, so a party has to win at least 63 seats to have a majority
government.




So, as it stands today, Canada won't be splitting up into two or three
separate countries all bordering the USA to it's north for at least 4
more years. And, I'm glad the way things turned out because Canada
breaking up into pieces will only throw Canada's economy into a tail
spin.


I've found most of the people of Quebec to be as nice and as welcoming
as anywhere in the world. But there seems to be a small group of
arrogant Frenchies that refuse to speak English and are unpleasant to
be around. The small minority gives the rest of the providence a bad
reputation.

Glad things turned out for the best.
