The baas of the Second Vermont Republic, Thomas Naylor, as well as his toady, Rob Williams must be having another bad day.
It seems that the most successful secessionist/separatist/sovereignty movement in North America, the Bloc Québécois, took a whooping in the Monday night's elections in Canada. Naylor's and William's websites have hailed the Bloc Québécois as "powerful" and as potential allies.
The Bloc Québécois went from holding 15% stake in Canada's parliament (47 seats), to barely 1% (4 seats), a showing not dissimilar to SVR's own gubernatorial hopeful, Connecticut native Dennis Steele's paltry 0.79%. Bloc Québécois took only 1 seat in Montréal/Laval and none in Québéc City.
