Hippies in Mercier?

December 8, 2008 · Posted in News, Personalities 

For an anglo in the far West of the country, I hadn’t heard of Québec solidaire or Amir Khadir (yes, apparently, his name does rhyme).  But congratulations go out to him for winning in the riding of Mercier.

I was just thinking, too, that one thing Quebec needed was a party on the far left (politics in Quebec is always waaaayyyy too right wing).

Perhaps we’ll be hearing much more about Amir and far less about Mario in the coming months.

What a strange country we live in.

    I am stunned at this win by QS - I had not thought that old style Marxists would be able to gain any ground anywhere these days.

    What are people thinking there? Do people really think that the state is a good idea?
