@EthanCoxMtl Don't worry, your separatist allies aren't poised for a major breakthrough. about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Charest hasn't been perfect, but the left is divided. Both PLQ and CAQ (combined 50% in the polls) oppose the student movement. about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl This conversation has nothing to do with the LPC. But enjoy rioting tomorrow. I'll be busy contributing to society. about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl I saw the rocks on camera. And in a civilized society you aren't allowed to throw ANYTHING at cops. Period. about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Entirely peaceful? Protestors were throwing rocks at the cops!! about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Even if my party disagreed with me on one issue, that means I have to change parties? about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Most federal Liberals are on my side buddy. And your argument is completely asinine. about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl I'm sure that the Charter protects under all circumstances the right to riot and throw rocks at police officers. about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl "Spontaneous protest is at the heart of right to assembly." Do you actually believe what you write? about 10 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl I'm not alone. A majority of Quebeckers support the law. People are fed up with entitled rich kids rioting in the street. about 11 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Even if there were, I suggest you read section 1 of the Charter. about 11 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl All you have to do is notify the police of your protest route. There's no restriction on the right to peaceful assembly. about 11 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl The bill doesn't restrict the right to peaceful assembly. Get real. And are you finished with your attack ad? about 11 hours ago via web in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Cite one specific Charter violation in #loi78. about 18 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® in reply to EthanCoxMtl
@EthanCoxMtl Yes. It actually isn't that controversial. My biggest criticism of it is that it is ineffective. about 18 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® in reply to EthanCoxMtl
