Lorne Gunter: A Tory used to support sovereignty. Many NDP still do. | Full Comment | National Post

Alexandre Boulerice, the new NDP MP for Montreal’s Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie riding, admitted before the Turmel controversy surfaced that he remained active in QS, even after being elected to Parliament.

And Cree leader Romeo Saganash, the new NDP MP for Abitibi-Baie-James-Nunavik-Eeyou and Claude Patry, the new MP for Jonquière-Alma, have both openly supported the sovereigntist cause in the past.

By some counts, at least a dozen NDP MPs voted to break Canada apart in the 1995 Quebec referendum.
