And he said, "The person is like
a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea
full of little fish. Among them the wise fisherman discovered a fine
large fish. He threw all the little fish back into the sea, and
easily chose the large fish. Anyone here with two good ears had better
listen!"

27 Mar 07 ADQ wins big in Québec, Green Party increases vote
In the
aftermath of a week long visit to Quebec by the AGC moderator, the Action
democratique du Quebec has won the balance of power in the Quebec
national assembly, moving from 5 seats to 41. The conservative
nationalist party now forms the opposition to a Liberal minority
government. ADQ leader Mario Dumont, overcame seemingly unsurmountable
obstacles - little cash or party infrastructure and few strong
candidates. In the final tally, Liberals won in 48 ridings, the
ADQ in 41, and the Parti Quebecois in 36. The Liberals had 33 per
cent of the vote, the ADQ 31 per cent and the PQ 28 per cent.
Dumont, in a speech to jubilant supporters in Riviere du Loup, was
already setting the stage for the next election. "Today's election
results mark the beginning of a new age for Quebec," he said. "This
vote expresses a powerful desire for change," for a government that
does "less politics and focuses more energy on taking care of people's
everyday lives. One by one today, Quebecers went to polling stations to
write a page in a history book - they closed one chapter and opened
another one."
