Critics say Paul Martin Boosting Separatist Threat

Reuters had a story (And has now removed) reporting a story that outlines how critics believe Paul Martin is boosting the separatist threat in Canada.

Although the scandal occurred under the Liberals, Martin says only a vote for him will keep Canada united. Early on in the campaign he declared the January 23 federal vote was “really a referendum election” — a phrase with powerful undertones.

When the separatist Parti Quebecois (PQ) was in power in Quebec, the province held
referendums on breaking away from Canada in 1980 and 1995. Both failed, but the PQ — now in opposition — says if it wins the next provincial election it will push hard for another vote on independence.

More nonsense attacks - the Liberals are the only party in PQ with any opposition to the Bloq.
