Insert Token Here

So, today The Harp announced that Quebec will hold a seat at the Canadian UNESCO office in Paris. Now, I know that this is just a token gesture used purely as a prop to make it look like the Cons are concerned about national unity but this is absolutely ridiculous. Quebec is a distinct part of Canada but everyone keeps on focusing on the word distinct and not the rest of it. Yes Quebec is distinct in it's culture and it's language, but have you ever heard a Newfie talk, or a person from BC....personally I still can't understand freaker...but the point is, that everyone is distinct from each other, and why in the blue hell are we trying to focus on our differences and not on what truly matters, our similarities.

This really pisses me off when politicians use token gestures to make themselves look like they care. The Liberals have used it from time to time, but that is all the Cons have done since they got into power. At least the Liberals did do things that benefit the nation and things that really meant something.
