I thought Rex Murphy made a good point on the National tonight about the fact that Quebec gets to state its case during the national debates when no other regions or provinces are able to do so. Just because they run a separatist party and win some national seats do they get this privilege. Duceppe, at present, gets to promote his province like no one else is able to. Maybe the only solution for the other provinces to get similar representation is to start their own separatist-type parties and run in the federal elections. Then they, too, can sit in on the debate. See the problem? Either the leaders meet in every province and/or region to have their debates or they leave Quebec out. So, to be fair, if the leaders don't debate everywhere they only should debate once in both english and french. Not separately. Not favouring one province.
At least that's what I think right now.
