It seems that Quebec wants to join the world of military adventure!

Or he's been watching too much of the Military Channel...

Ottawa — An independent Quebec would have its own military forces and spy service, says Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe, taking a firm stand on a traditionally wrenching issue for separatists.

“There'll be an army, of course,” Mr. Duceppe said Tuesday in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“We have to have those organizations, I would say.”

Mr. Duceppe is crazy anyway, no US infulence needed.

Just look at what the party wants, and see what would happen to the economy if it happened.

For instance, he said instead of submarines the military might be better off with “smart ships” that could transport troops and equipment to disaster zones and be transformed into floating hospitals.

“If you develop a foreign policy the way we see it, then we'll have an army that will intervene mainly to secure democracy in some countries, participating in international forces, going when there's a natural catastrophe, either inside Quebec or outside Quebec,” Mr. Duceppe said.

Hmmm...sounds like Mr. Duceppe is secretly hoping that the Bloc loses votes to the Liberals in the next election.

Or maybe it's just too much crack.

He's very funny. Canada should give him a TV show. I'm sure it would be a big hit.

I'll take those odds. We'll never appoint a G-G that looks stupid in a hairnet.

Show me a picture of someone who doesn't look stupid in a hairnet.

I'm telling you, it's right in the G-G appointment papers: Must not look stupid in a hairnet.
