E-mail

Today, I would like to respond to some e-mail that we have received over the course of the campaign:

Monsieur Tripper

Que pensez-vous qu’il adviendra du Parlement de la fédération canadienne à Ottawa advenant que le Québec et l’Ontario s’unissent pour faire un pays. Question encore plus cruciale : où sera située la capitale de ce Québec nouveau ? Enfin, ne croyez-vous pas qu’il serait important d’améliorer la qualité des vins produits en Ontario avant d’abaisser l’âge légal pour la consommation d’alcool ?

Merci de répondre à ces interrogations qui me chicotent depuis la découverte de l’existence de votre parti.

Thank you all for taking the time to write to us. Democracy is all about voters asking questions of their leaders.

First, we have noticed a striking resemblance between the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa and the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Therefore, once Ontario joins Québec in sovereignty, an appropriate use of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa would be as a new home for the Université d'Ottawa. The current University of Ottawa buildings could then be used for scrap materials and the land used for parking lots or waste disposal. Second, the capital of Québec is, not surprisingly, Québec, and will remain so after sovereingty.

Third, you raise a very good point: the quality of wines from Ontario should definitely be a component of Ontario's necessary cultural improvement in order to transition itself into Québec. The party wine critic has been developing our platform for development of the Ontario wine industry, including by importing wines from other countries until global warming makes grape-growing more conducive. Of couse, we welcome your input into our policy process.
