‘Canada’s Joe the Plumber’: that’s how CBC describes typical Quebecker, begging for guvmint cheese on live TV

April 15, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Joe the Plumber, an American, asked Obama to stop stealing his hard earned money. He’s fit, he’s good looking, he runs his own business.

This Francophone chick wants to know what the guvmint is gonna do to get her a job. She’s “fluffy,” looks older than her years, and just wants a steady little paycheck until she can collect her pension.

I give her points for wanting to work, which is a rare trait in Quebec.

But the contrast between the two nations couldn’t be clearer.
