...but, if the sovergnity referendum in 1995 had been a victory for the separatists, I would have welcomed Canadian tanks into Montreal in order to protect federalist areas of the province. I say, let the "seppies" have their own little Banana Republic of Saguenay and Ile d'Anticosti, but damned if they're going to drag millions of proud Canadians, French, English and "Allophone"-speakers alike, out of Canada against their will. Not that I'm a huge fan of prime minister Chr�tien myself, but, if he had one problem with his treatment of the soveirgnty debate, it was that he didn't speak seriously enough about partition, the only logical solution even if "partition" is a very politically incorrect word to the separatist-appeasers. An independent country of Quebec, a Canadian province of "West Quebec", and a Cree/Innu territory in the north. Yes, the partition of Quebec wouldn't be an easy process, but neither would be separation.
But Chretien said Lawrence Martin's allegations are "bullshit", or the French equivalent ("merde", I guess).
