It's not just Hargrove

PSAC, the federal government employees' union, is supporting Bloc Quebecois candidates in the Gatineau region.

Yes, I wrote "federal government employees' union".

(via Talk Canada)

Update: the PSAC brain trust might not understand the bleeding obvious, but one of their members does:

The national president of PSAC, Nycole Turmel, also approved the local chapter's decision.

But John Scarlett, one of 15,000 members across the Outaouais, says it doesn't make sense for the union to back a sovereigntist party.

"If they're looking to take Quebec out of Canada, we're going to have a lot fewer public servants in this region."

Everybody sing along: "solidarity forever..."
