Inside "Quebec as a Nation"

This is the stuff books get written about.  Here is Chantel Hebert's account of what took place: Harper considering this move since the summer, that he orchastrated a great political move that wont open the constitution, etc.  And here is the Globe and Mail's group think/report on the issue, pretty much the same thing with more detail.

 

All in all this has come off as a huge win for Harper personally and the party generally.  Whatever my thoughts personally on Quebec as a nation within Canada (whatever that actually means), you have to respect a guy who can pull this kind of thing off.  The guy knows how to play the game, that's for sure.
