There has been a lotta smoke flying since Triumph the little dog puppet thingie made his comments on the Conan O’Brien show about Quebec.

A lot of Ontarians are digging to cover their butts faster than the Iraqi Olympic Gravedigging Team. Getting all huggy huggy smoochey smoochey with Quebec and so on and so forth. I feel the need to speak.

1. Last year Ron McLean (of Hockey Night In Canada fame) said at some sort of awards banquet “I’m pretty sure Don Cherry supports french immersion. He just wishes they’d hold them underwater longer.” To that end, I would add that if they are still breathing when you pull them out of the water, they have not been submersed long enough.

2. Triumph The Insult Dog told Michigan Frog the other night to speak English because he lived in North America. I’ve never heard it said better.

3. God Himself saw the need for Quebec to separate from Canada when he created the Ottawa River to divide Ontario from “La Hell Province”. A pre-made moat. Add crocodiles and stir.

4. Somebody said to me just this week that the only reason anybody gives a #@!$ about whether Quebec separates from Canada is because they’re between us and the Newfies. So I say… it’s time for a switch. Give the mostly lovable Newfies the land mass currently occupied by 7.5 million or so two-legged bass snacks, and take a shoehorn and dump all the Frenchies in Labrador. Call it Survivor: Quebecois and make some money off of it while you’re at it. Congratulations Pierre. You’re off the island.

So for all you Frankenstein Francophone peeps in Quebec who think maybe there’s a soft spot for you west of Lancaster… think again. There’s not.

Truth in journalism. That’s what this site is all about.
