Bloc Québécois demands sovereignty for the 10% of Quebec that still supports them

– On a campaign stop to the provincial capital, leader demanded a near complete fracture in relationship between Canada and the small portion of Quebec that still votes Bloc.

“After decades of oppression, it is time for the anglophones in Ottawa to recognize that the riding of Longueuil-Saint-Hubert is a completely distinct society from the rest of Canada,” said Duceppe.

“The riding has it own language, its own culture, its own neighbourhood bar. I mean, how can Mr. Harper say we are one nation when we have completely different local convenience stores?” added the political veteran.

Mr. Duceppe clarified that he is also demanding separation for parts of Laval, Quebec City and and a small strip of land between Rimouski and Matane on the Gaspe Peninsula.

“Our new country, which we shall call Quebec II, will have our own currency, embassies and passports. Plus bridges allowing our citizens to drive over the parts of Quebec that we are leaving behind,” said Bloc press secretary Henri Bedard.

Both Prime Minister Harper and Justin Trudeau said they would refuse any demands for sovereignty for the Bloc voting parts of Quebec, although NDP leader Tom Mulcair advised he would consider it if Duceppe was able to get over 50% of the residents of Rue Chapais in Trois Rivieres to sign a “clearly-worded” petition.

At press time local Mafia bosses were already lining up for the contract to build a wall between Quebec and Quebec II.
