Lady Pi Phi - the Canadian Action Party... hmmm they are a little hard to nail down, since their politics are all over the place. For the most part they are Nationalists politically and economically (ie. very protectionist); think of the Heritage twits but liberal minded.

RU OX Alum - the recognition of Quebec as a nation within a nation is a "wonderful" new idea that our PM came up with to "deal" with the seperatists in Quebec. Before Quebec was recognized as a "seperate and disticnt society", as a result of the 1995 referedum held in Quebec about seperation from Canada (very narrowly defeated). The Harper government (well okay some of the Harper government) saw this as a way of taking the wind out of the seperatists (Bloc's) sails, and to cut the Liberal's federal hold on Quebec by showing that the Conservatives recognize Quebec more... the only problem though is that the seperatists are now proclaiming this the first step in the seperation process.
