JEAN CHAREST, leader of the Liberal Party, has been elected as Quebec's new Prime Minister.
and it feels good.
not necessarily because i like Charest, but because i, as a proud canadian, truly despised the ideas of the separatist movement of the Quebec Party.
it's a funny thing, it's as if a weight has been lifted off my back. now we know that at least for the next four years, we won't have a referendum on whether we want to separate from Canada or not. that was an eight-year weight coming at the front of a twenty year freight train.
it feels good to finally be let out and at least be able to breathe a little.
oh, and of course Jean Charest is from my riding.
so there's a little pride in that too.
i never had a prime minister representing my city before.
over and out.
