Gerard Kennedy Calls Quebec a Nation

"Ce n'es pas une question seulement pour la nation ici au Québec, c'est une qustion pour le reste du Canada". (Gerard Kennedy, Montreal, October 21 leadership debate, 3:10PM Montreal time)

Translation: It isn't only a question only for here in the Quebec nation, it is a question for the rest of Canada.

The question is liberal unity and participation. I think, because to be honest he lost me. I have his speech digitally recorded and I've listened to it 3 times. But I still can't figure it out. Gerard Kennedy's empty platitudes become incomprehensible in French.

But he did call Quebec a Nation. That I understood loud and clear.

Oh Yawn. Gerard Kennedy has already previously stated before that he does not have a problem with Quebec being called a Nation.

So, how is lame duck Ignatieff doing?

Liberal Pebbles,
I checked my translation and stand by it. Your's on the other hand...

He was talking about member participation and dropped the N bomb when told his time was up.

Perhaps you should watch the news and note Bob Rae calling Quebec a nation and wait... didn't Iggy do the same?!
