Blockhead Quebec


Just when you thought it was safe to live in Canada...


Andre Boisclair is the leader of the Parti Quebecois and he is facing an election.


He is also a racist fool, unrepentant, and undeserving of holding office in Canada or any other civilized nation.


Here is what he said the other day, talking about his one year of study at Harvard University, where apparently he learned very little:


"When I was in Boston I was surprised to see that on campus about one-third of the students doing their bachelor's degrees had slanting eyes."


Nice.


When I was a kid, growing up in Winnipeg, orientals were pejoratively called "slants." If you were an ignoramus and you felt you had gained the upper hand in a bargaining, you said, "I Jewed him down."


Very few of us outside La Belle Province have had much sympathy for the Parti Quebecois over the years. Now, Monsieur Boisclair has done us all a favor and confirmed our worst suspicions.


Drop this guy, toute suite.

Sadly, these racist comments might help him out with the PQ base. Such intolerance is commonplace in that party. Remember Jacques Parizeau's famous 1995 concession speech blaming "the ethnic vote"? I enjoyed my time living in Montreal [2002-2004] but it quickly became clear that white Quebecers are at least 30 years behind the times when it comes to tolerance of newcomers.

After sending this post, I learned that Boiclair is gay. One would think a gay man would have a heightened sensitivity to being called stupid names. Apparently not.
