Harper would allow Quebec to represent itself at international fora
I find this troubling because I disagree with the idea of one country speaking with two voices. Through the federal government, Quebec is already VERY well-represented at international bodies where culture and language are discussed. (For example, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the lead on these matters, is overwhelmingly francophone.)
Is this the beginning of the slippery slope towards eventual Conservative support for the infamous "distinct society" clause?

This is indeed troubling. The last thing we need is to give Quebec further international autonomy.
I really think the Tories best chance in Quebec is to do well in Ontario. What I mean is that Quebec is, if nothing else, a province of front runners. If the Tories look as though they are going to form a minority, a couple of anglo ridings around Montreal will vote Conservative so that they can be "at the table" when it comes time to hand out cabinet assignments.
Bullroar!
