Interesting approach, but not unsurprising considering the PQ allegedly 
lied to the voters of Quebec, provided a very vaguely worded question for 
the folks to vote on, and allegedly tried to rig the balloting process in 
their favor.  When you take that approach to the separation question, any 
arguing of the facts has a real potential to backfire in your face.  
After all, arguing facts makes it so much easier for the opposition to 
prove that you are lying.
