So, the Liberals lost Outremont. Okay, I promised myself when I started writing this post that I would try to avoid engaging in any political spin at all, but I already have in that first sentence. So to neutralize things, I should also add that the Bloquistes lost Roberval—Lac-St. Jean and the Tories lost in St-Hyacinthe—Bagot. And to quickly come back to polemics: does anybody care about these godforsaken backwaters?
Speaking more generally, should anybody care about these Quebec by-elections at all? (My answer, in my best David Brent: obviously not).

You do not recognize the vital importance of the minutiae of Canadian politics? I am shocked and appalled, Aldous, shocked and appalled. Jason Cherniak and Heloise A-R would be ashamed of you.
Heloise A-R is in my law school :-) And I only missed getting to vote in the Outremont by-election by one block...

I have to say that Quebec politics is, to a non-resident, a little baffling. In fact, all Canadian politics are, at the moment a little baffling.
All I can say is this: the Globe & Mail is confirming in print what I've been hearing anecdotally for months. God, enough with the infighting already!
