Lis E and News

lis: The very good news is that Lisée has promised that if his party manages to win Quebec next election in two years it won't hold another referendum on sovereignty until at least 2022, according to Toronto Star. That a big turnabout for a party founded on the principle of making Quebec independent, and anyone who cares about the unity of Canada should give at least two hearty cheers. Sun., Oct. 16, 2016 There good news and a healthy dose of bad news for the rest of Canada in the selection of Jean-François Lisée as the new leader of the Parti Québécois. The cynics, who know Lisée as a man of highly flexible principles, think he'll junk his promise if he thinks he can get away with it.
