I had the opportunity to talk with Francois Gourd, the leader of the Neo Rhino Party, a renaissance as it were of the old Rhino Party. The Rhinos were and the Neo Rhinos are parties that take the piss out of the Canadian political process for sure.
But, try as he may to not be serious, Mr. Gourd, who has run unsuccessfully for a seat in Ottawa on two occasions, once getting almost fifteen hundred votes, the second time achieving less than ten per cent of those votes, made a couple of pretty interesting points in our convo yesterday.
First off, in addressing the situation of Quebec, separation and Canadian unity, Mr. Gourd suggested that all provinces separate and we run our country like the European Economic Community. Food for thought.
Secondly he wants Quebec to, upon the demise of Fidel Castro's regime in Cuba, to absorb, annex, whatever, Cuba. It's not Florida, but it is sunny and Quebeckers would adapt especially if Cuba was Quebec Sud. More food for thought.
Sometimes the wisest man is the one playing the fool, eh?
