    I think the Clarity Act was needed, we can't have another referendum based on a confusing question like last time. Whthere it's been popular or not in Quebec, I believe it had to be done. Surprisingly a poll taken this week showed 62% of Quebecers in favor of Dion so he may just be able to grab a few more seats there than people are giving him credit for. It's an exciting time in Canadian politics and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

    The problem is not the Clarity act itself, it's the fact that Canada cannot tell Quebec what to do regarding their own sovereignty, the clarity act should be reproduced and voted in the Quebec national assembly, then it would be legitimate.

    edit: i agree, if Quebec want to separate, it must be clear, in the interest of everyone, but people are not stupid, everyone knew what YES meant on the ballot, and what NO meant on the ballot and everyone knew that the margin needed was 50%+1.

    Yeah we should go to the ballots after christmas, so it's the time to consider our voting options, i don't know about the Greens, i'll seriously consider voting Liberals for the first time in my life (it hurts to say it) just to get Harper out of there, and then having Dion helping the Sovereignty cause ;), my second choice after the Bloc was Layton, but i don't think he's a good choice now, could change, as you said, still a lot to be seen.

    i live in layton's riding ... i think he is in trouble here because it is a traditionally liberal riding but they got tired of the fockers in there ... if they put forth a progressive candidate here - he might lose ...

    i like elizabeth may - to finish 2nd in london there should send shockwaves especially to the conservatives as i think its a reflection of their governance ...

    but yeah - knowing that harper has a strong base - it'll come down to a few ridings here and there ...
