Harper has been very supportive of Quebec. But given his tearing into arts funding and his recent use of the separatist rhetoric he comes off as pandering in his previous positions. It's fine to use the term separatist but at least use it in both official languages. To use sovereignist in French and separatist in English is just perceived as scare mongering by the Quebequois.
I was impressed with Harper's "a nation within Canada" I thought it was smart as it diffused the issue. It's the kind of attitude a leader of the nation needs to show... especially in a minority position. Unfortuneately, Harper's action show why he shouldn't be trusted with a majority.
