Conservatives in Quebec

From:

"Now it seems the Tories have opted for a scorched-earth policy. If they're going to lose in Quebec, they're going to go down like Sonny Corleone at the toll gate in The Godfather. This week, they pulled the pin on funding for Montreal's gay pride celebrations. All indications were that the event had fulfilled every qualification for its grant. But with 10 days to go, the department that took over the tourism-grants file from Diane Ablonczy (after she made the grave error of posing for pictures next to a drag queen) said "Sorry, out of luck."

I hate to be the one to break it to the federal Tories, but Quebeckers — in spite of their Catholic roots — like their gays. This latest move will merely hammer home the impression that the Conservatives not only fail to appreciate the province's unique character, they are hostile to it."
