In Quebec, we will have a provincial election on sept. 4.

The choices are:

1. Parti Québécois: social-democratic (communists by U.S. standards), want Quebec to separate from Canada, want to raise taxes on the "rich";

2. Liberal Party: current government, conservative (communists by U.S. standards), but have been caught up in all sorts of financial/corruption scandals;

3. Coalition Avenir-Quebec: more conservative than liberals (still communists by U.S. standards), but brand new/inexperienced. Leader is a former PQ minister who has been wishy-washy on where he stands on Quebec independence.

In other words, here as everywhere else, it is a case of voting for the lesser of three evils.
