Some good news for once.

It seems that the Quebec Liberals are "getting it" (the current government in power in the province of Quebec).

- They are going to give tax credits to companies that pa ...

Frankly deMolay sounds like he suffers from accute schizoprenia with severe paranoia mixed in - I mean, last time I read such paranoid drivel was when I tried to chat with a NeoNazi during BBS days 10 ...
