Stephen Harper Rejects Bloc
Ottawa (LHJ)
Stephen Harper today stunned observers by rejecting all future cooperation with the Bloc Quebecois. His concerns, apparently stemmed from the election of the new leader of the Parti Quebecois, the Bloc's defacto provincial wing.

"It's one thing to cooperate with a party which has pledged to destroy the makeup of our nation and everything we hold dear about a united, strong Canada," said Harper at a press conference. "It's another entirely to cooperate with a party led by a coke snorting homosexual."

Harper was referring to the recent election of Andres Boisclair as the new leader of the Parti Quebecois. Boisclair is openly gay, and during the campaign admitted to having used cocaine while a cabinet minister in the '90's.

"I don't mind cooperating with them," Harper continued. "But I draw the line at cooperating with them."

Harper's comments drew outrage from Gay Rights activists across the country, many of whom were appalled, but not surprised. "This party has had an anti gay agenda since day one," said Mike Bonasera, spokesperson for GLBQTTT Toronto. "While these comments are shocking, they are nothing new from this party."

Harper was visibly shaken by the turn of events in Quebec, and ended the press conference asking, "I mean, where will this stop? Is Svend Robinson going to get re-elected next?"
