Albertans for Trudeau?

So, browsing through the news this morning I noticed the following headline: Justin Trudeau to outline vision for Canada's future

My first instinct was "Who the hell cares about Justin Trudeau's vision for Canada's future?" But then scrolling down I got my answer with another headline: Tories pounce on Trudeau stance

Great, I thought, what stupid crap did Trudeau go on about that made the Tories so happy? Harper's buddy and unelected Senator Cabinet Minister Michael Fortier had this to say about Trudeau:

"It confirms what a lot of people know already, that these people are completely disconnected from reality."

Wow, Trudeau must have really screwed up this time. So what did Trudeau say that was so detached from reality?

...he said any conferral of special status on Quebec or recognition as a nation creates divisions between Canadians, and he wondered, as many have, just who exactly the Québécois nation includes.

"Does it include everyone who lives in Quebec? Is it those who are old-stock Québécois?..."

Wow, what kind of crazy person would say or think that? Wait, I know. Pretty much every Canadian I know, including a good chunk of Quebeckers. It's truly a bizarro day when Justin friggin' Trudeau seems more plugged into the beliefs of average Canadians, and average Albertans, than a Conservative cabinet minister. It seems that perhaps getting into cabinet without actually having to talk to Canadians can distort your views of the public.

Fortier said the nation recognition is widely supported, not only in Quebec, but across the country, and that any criticism of it ultimately serves the Conservative cause.

You think so? I certainly don't. Fortier doesn't actually have to worry about what Canadians support of course, being a Senator and all, but his first shot at trying seems not to have gone so well. I guess now we have the answer to the question "Who's more detached from reality than a Trudeau?"
