"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?
Is not the translation "It isn't a question only for the nation here in Quebec, it is a for the rest of Canada"
Your attempts to mangle words through translation reflect the name of your blog - altavista google, since it seems your results are worse than a machine translation.
He could be referencing the Canadian nation in Quebec.
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?!
