There is a federalist left in Quebec. 59 of them are now sitting as NDP MPs. [...] I think many if not most progressives in Quebec would be more than happy to support QS if it stopped being so totally "infatuated with Quebec independence"...
What a laugh. You appear to have forgotten that even your glorious leader Nycole Turmel was simultaneously a member of Québec solidaire. As for the 59 MPs, you think they took an oath to Canada as part of becoming members, let alone candidates, of the NDP?
Don't be surprised how they'll vote in a future referendum.
Stockholm, I wish you many years of accumulating wisdom about the psychology of the Québec nation. There is no doubt that you have many such years ahead of you.
