I completely concur. A couple of months ago, Maxime Bernier made a comment to the effect that Bill 101 was not needed in Quebec, that the Quebecois could protect their language and culture without it.
Bill 101 has been a taboo subject for politicians for more than a generation so when Bernier's comments came down, the press was saying, "Oh oh, now Bernier has done it. He's put his foot in his mouth and this is going to cost the Conservatives big time."
And the reaction from most Canadians was just the opposite, they were glad a politician finally had the nerve to say anything period about Bill 101.
I think standing firm on Quebec, instead of always trying to buy them off, will stand the Conservatives in good stead overall.
