As a person who voted NO and worked for the NO committee, I am trying to
decide this morning if I should, in the future, describe myself as "big
money" or as "ethnic"... I'm leaning towards the latter.

Working at the polls last night was an interesting experience. I don't
know how many people know this, but at each poll there are 4 people - 2
appointed by each committee. I would like to thank the deputy returning
officer (appointed by OUI) for acting in what I considered to be a very
professional manner. I would like to blast the other OUI rep for her
ridiculous manner in certain situations (e.g. in requiring many people
with chinese names to swear that they were Canadian citizens and had
lived in Quebec 6 months... she did not require this of anybody with a
french name).

I guess my point is: don't paint all separatists as racist. Many tried
to distance themselves from Parizeau's speech last night. My Mum told
me this morning that a Japanese-Canadian she works with has been
receiving many apologies from fellow (French-Canadian) workers for what
Parizeau said! Believe it or not, I think/hope there are enough people
out there who are willing to cooperate and hash something out of this
mess.

And finally, perhaps Parizeau might stop hitting the bottle so hard
right before speeches...
