What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Times reports the separatist Parti Québécois won the Quebec election, reviving the sovereignty push. It fell short of a majority.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo Quebec is leaving Canada. Where does it go? Does it just float south and join Vermont?

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNo, Hank. Without a majority, a showdown with Ottawa is not guaranteed. I have been to Ottawa. Nobody there has ever hurried.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCNBC says surging Treasury yields above five percent do not signal a fiscal apocalypse, yet. Note the word yet. Dale just smiled in his sleep.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYet is doing a lot of work in that headline. Like my beans. Moving on.
