It saddens me to think that these groups of people (ethnics, Quebeckers, and Liberals) have been thus labelled. I know little of politics, but I can not believe that all Quebeckers lack political insight, or that all Liberals are prone to distort facts. I know a little bit more about my own feelings, and if I were an ethnic, Quebecker, or Liberal I would feel hurt and angered by Mark's remarks. Mark, surely you don't intend your remarks to have this effect? -- -IAN! (Ian! D. Allen) University of Waterloo
