Plutôt sympa de retrouver cet article sur le site du Huffington post. Il y a donc un certain intérêt pour la politique canadienne aux États-Unis!
"Jack Layton can avoid a 'one-night stand' with Quebec voters and build his base in the province by sticking to core social democratic values, filling a void left long ago by the Liberals, says the NDP's elder statesman, Ed Broadbent.
"Quebecers have said they are going to gamble now on a federalist party for the first time in 20 years," Broadbent said of his party's historic election win May 2 under Layton.
"It will be up to the Quebec caucus to show they can do things for the people of Quebec but still do it within the broader picture of Canada and Canadians. That is a big challenge," Broadbent said.
The Quebec dynamic was evident at the party's first full caucus meeting on Parliament Hill Tuesday, where Layton gave a rousing speech, more than half of which was in French. It included a sizable section dedicated to Quebec voters.
"Quebecers voted for change. They told us they are fed up with the old debates and the old way of doing politics," Layton told the MPs.
"To Quebecers, my message is clear. You can count on me to defend your interests.""
