The Bloc is another legacy we can thank Lyin' Brian Mulroney for. It was dissatisfaction with the other Federal parties that resulted in the formation of the Bloc, thanks largely to the failing of the Meech Lake Accord. The atomic jawed BM promised Quebeckers something he couldn't deliver: a Constitutional veto on a silver platter.

Canada had a rarity... a referendum and spoke out loud and clear: NO vague loopholes to tie the Constitution up in the courts and provide fortunes to lawyers arguing useless points in perpetuity. Separatists ground away on their own hatchets and called it a vote against Quebec, but it wasn't. It was a vote against a lousy package full of vague wording and ill-thought-out compromises.

I hear Brian Mulroney still thinks he was the greatest and most-loved PM Canada ever had.
