Bearing in mind that Harper appears to be an idiot, there is a minor valid point in what he said, if only for the following reason:
-Gay marriage is already legal in Quebec cuz the judges said so
-The BQ only looks out for Quebec's interests
-How does it advance their interests to vote for this?
They've got a right to do it, sure, but they're not doing it out of a desire to promote "equal rights." Then again, I don't really know their official social policies because the arrogant ******* won't post their website in English.

That's a good point. This basically makes the BQ's vote, a vote to spread to Canada what Quebec already has. Why should they have a say?
The problem that I have, is that a party that wants nothing to do with the rest of Canada, can exist in a national government.
It can be argued that the other parties only look out for certain regions as well, but the BQ does this officailly and without denial. I don't like the idea that a party representing a single province can run in federal elections.
