    In Quebec, the police are political—and that’s a big problem

    Quebec police are facing a scandal over tapping journalist’s phones. Here’s why it raises troubling questions.

    ‘Because it’s Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda’

    Sun News digs up some rather inflammatory remarks made by Justin Trudeau in November 2010.
    “Canada isn’t doing well right now because it’s Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda. It doesn’t work,” Trudeau said in French to interviewer Patrick Lagace on the Tele-Quebec program Les francs-tireurs (The Straight Shooters).

    Lagace then asked Trudeau if he thought Canada was “better served when there are more Quebecers in charge than Albertans?” Trudeau replied: “I’m a Liberal, so of course I think so, yes. Certainly when we look at the great prime ministers of the 20th century, those that really stood the test of time, they were MPs from Quebec… This country – Canada – it belongs to us.”
    Here is the full interview. And here is a clip from that interview of Mr. Trudeau falling down a flight of stairs.
