Still though, the Francophone rates for the province as a whole seem terrible. Is there any particular reason? Economic/social/cultural etc? How does that compare to other provinces' graduation rates?

Perhaps due to the number of francophone schools in rural areas? The anglo schools would be concentrated in Montreal and Hull/Gatineau? Perhaps others in cities, too, but the francophone schools would be in those cities but also through the rural parts of the province? Maybe it has more to do with the rural/urban divide than the anglo/francophone divide?

You only need to look at the UK to see why coalitions are a bad idea in westminster systems. Bad for the minority coalition party anyways.

But is that because of the Westminster system or because of gross incompetence on the part of the junior partner in the current British government? Though it's certainly true that the Westminster system wasn't designed with coalitions in mind.

I think much of it was because a fair swag of the junior party's supporters weren't expecting a coalition with the Tories.
