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 .
