Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

I remember about a decade or so I would hear about that separation movement of the Quebecois (probably spelled that wrong) about once every month or so. I haven’t heard anything about it for a very long time. I wonder if they got something that appeased them, or just gave up.
Both. The Bloc Québécois got blown away in the recent Canadian election. Quebec used threats to secede to extract money from the national government. The new Conservative government won’t play that. I would like to see Quebec break off. Anglo-Canada would be a much better ally and trading partner. Quebec could become an Arctic Haiti.
HAHA “Arctic Haiti” – that is awesome. My wife was in Montreal about five years ago. She was less than impressed. I have never been there but do want to go to Banff someday.
“Dim the Lights and Chill the Ham” is still one of my favorite ‘instrumental’ albums.
I would like to visit Quebec. The old parts of the city are supposed to be nice. But it is far from a priority.
