Re: More United Nations Stupidity.

I should have noted that the bill was passed by the Liberal Party that now forms the government.

It should also be noted that the Provence of Quebec is the only jurisdiction of it`s size in a democracy that has NO significant conservative minded party. There is one member who represents a sort of kind of rightish party.

It has a long history of radical leftist politics. And it is a bit of a badge of office to be arrested in a protest that one needs to rise in politics.

One member who has been arrested, along with his daughter, who is a muslim marxist (!). He is best known for going on one of those stupid flotillas to "Palistine". And for leading protests against a small family owned shoe store for having the nerve to sell shoes made in Israel. In a city where appx, 20% of the population is Jewish....LOL

Now you see what fools we have to deal with .
