I think the entire notion is crazy, however, Harper has method to his madness.

I think that the only reason that Harper is doing this is that he is pandering to Quebec voters.

Simple as that.

He feels that if he takes Quebec, the west, etc. then Ontario can go to hell. He's counting on the western vote to stay with him.

You can bet your sweet ass that if Harper had a majority, there'd be none of this BS. This is simply pandering to the so called "soft-separatists" Those separatists who think that Quebec should be its own country but don't want to hold another referendum for fear of the instability and divisiveness it will create within the province.

If you saw the cover of the Globe and Mail today, the body language of Harper and those around him was clearly uncomfortable. This is not something they feel good about doing.
