Aaron got a note from a CJAD listener, taking a look at Pauline Marois' top ideas to make Quebec a
disctinct society. Keep in mind this is a joke!

1) Quebec will now have its own time zone. We will be 1 hour and ten years behind the rest of America.

2) The Office de la langue francaise will hire 1.5 milllion new language police over a three year
period. These new positions will be filled by the 500,000 Quebecers who lose their jobs in each of
the next three years once our economy goes down the drain.

3) Bill 101 will be amended to now restrict the use of English in households with more than 2 occupants.


4) There will now be a new department in the government dealing with multinational companies looking
to invest in Quebec. This new department will consist of a team of 2 psychologists who will assess
the mental stability of the directors of the investing company and their employees wishing to
relocate to Quebec and force their children to attend French schools.

5) The new highest personal marginal tax bracket in Quebec will be increased to 58%. This increased
rate will be phased in over 4 years, but in order to compensate for taxpayers who will relocate to
other provinces or will now be making less here with a dead economy, the new highest marginal
bracket in Quebec will be $ 30.00.

6) Tuition freezes will be granted. However, Quebec Pension Plan payments will now only start when
you reach the age of 90.

7) Corruption laws will be introduced to ensure that any kick back arrangements between private
industry and government leaders are now done so completely in French.

8) The cities of Hampstead, Cote St. Luc, Westmount, TMR, and Montreal-West will be merged in to one
mega city which will be called "A vendre, pas cher".
