The open letter of Jean Charest: Jean Charest caught in his own canard

Everybody know that at last provincial election in Québec, Mario Dumont, the ADQ leader scored cheap political points after some idiots at Hérouxville stroke some sensible cords of Quebeckers by invoking that the municipality could be invaded by defiant moslems that would implement charia. So the municipalité got themselves a life code that had absolutely no legal value whatsoever.

That coincidated strangely with the YMCA episode where a few religious Jews asked the owner to frost his windows so religious Jews could make prayers quietely and another episode involving the Jewish community of Montreal where some non-jewish employees where asked to move to non-kosher areas so they could eat ham sandwiches.

A few days later, Hérouxville’s mayor, Mr Drouin went to a popular French Canadian TV show at Radio-Canada (French version of the CBC) and declare banal stuff like Jewish or Moslem immigrants would never impede him from eating bacon and porks and bean at the cabane à sucre.

Then some radio stations went ahead with a stupid song written by a Montreal police man about reasonnable accomodations. In his radio show, Stéphane Dupont was playing it everyday at some point.

Then, there was a provincial campaign going on at the same time. Smelling a great opportunity to do some demagogy over a different issue than federalism VS separation, Mario Dumont went publicly ahead stating he would defend Quebeckers’ set of values against some possible threats that may have came from immigrants whether they were religious threats or cultural ones. Mario pleaded his case for a Québec citizenship and a Québec constitution but he stated that those things would not be done after calling a referendum on Québec’ separation from the rest of Canada.

Then of course, singing the song of referendum, referendum, referendum, André Boisclair contributed positively at the self-destruction of PQ’s mass of potential electors.

Then smelling that he was starting to loose it, Jean Charest who was running the dullest campaign ever took the bull by the horns and stated he was going to call a commission on the whole issue of reasonnable accomodation.

Then today came the letter denouncing the fact that Pauline Marois and Mario Dumont did what they promised to do in the first place which is to whine about it and to call for more Quebec rights and define more accurately the issue of identity.

However, wasn’t it Charest that called this commission in the first place? Isn’t he the ultimate responsible.

Now that he feels that he will loose support from other parts of the country and of the world, Jean Charest wants to step foward and try to repair the mess that he created with this useless commission that is a waste of time and a waste of money for Quebeckers.

Jean Charest even has the guts to scapegoat Mario Dumont and Pauline Marois for HIS OWN MESS. How pathetic is this??? How despicable? How hypocrite from a prime minister of a canadian province?

If Jean Charest wants to know who’s responsible for all this mess, he just has to look in the mirror and see if he can recognize himself or say “Oh, not you again, the curly fool haired weirdo.”

But what to expect from a prime minister who hid himself behind his wife while someone was trying to give him the “pie in the face” award…
