Is this Stephen Harpers Pierre Elliot Trudeau moment?

Bernard Landry says Stephen Harper fuelling sovereignty movement

Former Quebec premier Bernard Landry says Stephen Harper's policies are helping the sovereignty movement in Quebec.

In an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CBC Radio's The House, Landry said Harper has been an involuntary ally of the Parti Québécois.

The issue of sovereignty has become one of the main issues of the current provincial election campaign in Quebec, although Harper refused to weigh in on it earlier this week when reporters asked him about it during a trip to South Korea.

Landry was premier of Quebec from 2001 until 2003 and led the Parti ​Québécois from 2001 to 2005. Now, he says Conservative policies are doing the work of the PQ for the party.

"When Harper is promoting monarchy and British monarchy in an excessive manner, when Harper is promoting reactionary policies on the international scene, without wanting to help us, of course, [he] did it anyhow," Landry said.

"When you promote almost in a fanatical way the British monarchy in Quebec, you're helping the independence of Quebec," he said.

Thanks Ed:

I have to wonder if the way Stephen Harper has agitated the Quebec sovereignty issue by first ignoring all things provincial and by avoiding the implementation of an effective plan to put Canadians to work.... not just Albertans and temporary foreign workers.... if this is not a part of his ultimate plan to take his place in Canadian history by being the Pierre Elliot Trudeau of the 21st century.

We know now where his priorities lie, and it is not with the people of Canada, but with big oil, hockey and 'celebrating" war. When the hell was war a thing to celebrate?

Is Stephen Harper hoping Quebec dissention rises to the boiling point and he can enact his own form of "The War Measures Act" and quell the uprising?
