The Quebec problem is interesting. Although at this time and with current levels of sovereigntism, I don't think it's like electing the NDP in say, 1993.

I don't know what the RoC is and have never seen that abbreviation before.

Overtly hostile towards energy - you mean oil. Just say it. Not energy, oil. And I haven't seen or read anything that indicates this, beyond the fact an NDP government wouldn't be in bed with the oil execs like Harper.

As for the daycare program, it's not perfect, and I think I prefer the Liberal proposal for child benefits, but anything is an improvement over the CPC's joke of a policy.

All that said, I don't see anything in there that indicates an implosion of the country.
