    Default Parti Québécois wins the provincial elections

    After battling back from inner party turmoil and record lows in party support, Pauline Marois and the Parti Québécois have claimed victory over the incumbent Liberals. The PQ will return to power with a minority government after almost a decade in opposition.

    Marois, 63, will now become the province's first female premier.

    While the minority win falls short of the majority the PQ made a heavy pitch for, it marks a significant loss for the Liberals, who, after nine years in power, gambled on a summer election a year before the end of their mandate.

    She'll probly just outlaw English and send the Anglos to re-education camp.

    Never got the idea behind the law 101. You can walk in Montreal and see shop signs in Hebrew, Arabic, Italian etc and it's all good but dont you dare write in English on your store.

    So how is your French? Pascalywood knows why. PQ is not very English friendly.

    Be fair a bit here.

    All these signs have French added as well. English is not an exception...

    A man is being arrested outside the Metropolis. He was in possession of a what looks like a rifle and was trying to set fire to the Metropolis.

    I heard this rumour that her children actually goes to English schools. Bill 101 stipulates that Quebec's official language is French and French only. So everything must be done in French. For now, the Bill doesn't force you to have a French name for your business, but it needs a French description. I can open up a Chinese restaurant, but I'll have to label it "restaurant chinois".

    My French is fine, I assure you. I know that PQ isn't so anglophone friendly but still, as an anglophone I find her ideas to be quite offending.

    According to RDI:

    - There was a fire next to the Metropolis, fire is now under control
    - 2 injured persons
    - 1 individual arrested. The man was wearing black clothes, a balaclava and was saying "The English are waking up"

    Some of the **** she's said is just downright xenophobic. I don't know how anyone in their right mind could vote for that party. I can't wait till she ****s up, just like PQ always has when in power.
