QUEBEC: The most corrupt province in Canada.

Quebec politicians and organizers of the Quebec Winter Carnival are up in arms about an explosive cover story in the latest issue of Maclean's magazine that declares the province the most corrupt in Canada.

The Oct. 4 edition of the magazine also depicts the iconic figure Bonhomme Carnaval carrying a suitcase overflowing with cash.

Two accompanying articles inside explore the question of why so many political scandals seem to happen in Quebec, from the current controversy involving judicial appointments to the patronage days of former premier Maurice Duplessis.

"As politicians and experts from every facet of the political spectrum told Maclean's, the history of corruption is sufficiently long and deep in Quebec that it has bred a culture of mistrust of the political class," writes Martin Patriquin in the article.

Imo, this is just stating the obvious.

Anyone remember Adscam?

'a culture of mistrust in the political class.' LMAO Nooooooooo. Really?

Actually, in Quebec, that's not true at all.

Quebecers trust their politicians to be corrupt.

Next Maclean's cover: Quebec - Canada's Whiniest Province.

I say give Quebec the boot from confedeation. Hand them their bill for their portion of Canada's national debt. Take back all lands given to the province of quebec and hand it all to the First nations of the area, allow them to form a First Nations Province.

Then we can have no more of the BS that comes from Quebec.
