We wanted to issue a correction on our previous entry about the Canadian parliament. Father Strike has told me that the Party Quebecois, beyond their nationalist tendencies, is actually pretty liberal on both social and economic issues. In fact, Harper's government almost fell apart last year because the two liberal parties almost formed a coalition with the Quebecois.
Father Strike also informed me that Grandfather Strike (a native of Montreal) was a high school and college classmate of the founder of the New Democratic Party David Lewis. So my natural interest in Canadian parliament must be inherited.
Thanks to Father Strike for chipping in with this information.
