Harper is incorrect. The Bloq is as legitimate as the Liberals or Conservatives are, so their voice does count. Truthfully, I have no idea what Harper thinks such an argument will accomplish, other than to completely eliminate any hope of electing an MP in Quebec.
That said, I also find it interesting that the Department of Propaganda (CBC) pounced on Harper opposing the Bloq now while siding with them on the Budget, trying to label him a hypocrite.
But, to the best of my knowledge, Harper hasnt slammed the Liberals for "getting in bed" with the seperatists. He's merely making a rather dumb argument against the legitimacy of this vote.
Though it is funny how the Liberals - and their media - are more than willing to play up the "siding with the seperatists" angle when it is the Conservatives who align with the Bloq on an issue, but arent willing to do the same when the Liberals and Bloq align on an issue.
Atcually, no, it isnt funny. It is typical and pathetic.
