Bloc Logic

For the last few weeks, the Bloc Québécois has been busy attacking the government in question period because Quebec’s aeronautical industry wasn’t going to get 60% of the financial fallout from the federal government’s contract with Boeing and Lockheed for the purchase of four C-17s aircrafts.

They claim that because the Quebec aeronautical industry represents 60% of Canada’s, it should be handed 60% of the financial fallout of every single defense contract, just like in any free market economy! The Bloc also affirms that a sovereign Quebec would join NAFTA. Maybe they should practice competing with New-Brunswick before competing against the US.

Oh, and by the way, the Bloc has opposed Canada’s mission in Afghanistan even though it is the main reason for the government purchasing those planes. So even though the party which holds the vast majority of Quebec’s seats opposes the Afghanistan mission, Quebec should still be handed most of the financial fallout. Typical Bloc Logic!
