And also to show Québecer how litle the ROC think of them.
I guess this has been the PQ's strategy all along. Whine when you don't balance your buget and have anough money to buy cheese to go with your whine, and keep up the whineing until people ignore you like a brat in a shopping mall. Then pretend to be hurt when you actually are ignored, because people have gotten on with important things.
I wonder, how will Quebec like being called 'The Second Nation'. After all, 'First Nation' is already taken, and look how well that is working out for them.

" A nation within a United Canada" says Harper.
There you go, you guys are special, just like the rest of us.

One blogger summed it up perfectly:
$1:
PM Harper - "Quebec a nation, within a united Canada"
"Here! Here!" Even the Liberal stood to that statement.
The Prime Minister was forced to comment on the issue that is tearing the Liberals appart, since the Bloc Quebecois were planning to introduce a motion asking the Government to recognize Quebec as a nation.
He upstaged them by making a brilliant statement, which I was able to watch live. The Liberals rose to applaud the statement. In reply, Bill Graham affirmed the Liberals full agreement with Mr. Harper's statement... and the Conservatives also rose to applaud his comments.
Irony for you... the Bloc force the issue in Parliament, and Mr. Harper comes riding to the rescue of the divided Liberal Party... watch the leadership candidates all sign on to Mr. Harper's statement. Any of them who disagree with it will get roasted, and if they agree to it, they're giving credit to Mr. Harper.
Thank you very much Messr. Duceppe... you just dealt our Prime Minister a winning card for the next election!

British Columbia should be recognised as a nation within Canada.

Like Elvis said: It was good !
Harper shorcuts the Bloc and says Quebec is a nation within Canada but not an independant nation.
What a nice move by the PM

Thus begins the unravelling of the loose fabric that keeps Canada together. I now petition ALberta with rednecks, oil, and cowboy culture as a nation within a nation of that nation which is inside of that nation within the nation of Canada.....

Indeed I have to give credit where credit is due. Now it is about time that the fédéralistes in Québec have to make there move and stop being on the fence all the time.
Will this mean that Béchard won't have to rely on France to speak for him on Kyoto at internationnal forum. Or will he be able to speak for Québec??
Does that mean that we would have a real voice at the UNESCO???
ETC.......
Infact time will tell how much or litle meaning this will have, and Québecer will see if it is enough or not.

Of all the things the Feds could be discussing about this country and what do we get? Again Quebec, I'm tired of this attention hoe of a Province (It's not a nation, it already has a nation it's called the Native People). What's next on the Quebec agenda? I'm so sick of this province of mewing whiners, get a plucking job and stop being such cry babies.
Here are a few issues I'd like to see actually addressed not given lip service to: Health Care, pityful highways that require Flack Jackets and a helmit, multi cult gone amok, pandering to lobbest etc. I don't give a rat's ass what Quebec wants, in the East we've been listing to this tripe for far to long.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:
Excuse me. I'm going to go puke my guts out knowing that Canada would allow such a fucking party to even exist.
I don't knwo what our Liberals are trying to pull. If they are trying to get Quebecois Support, they are jsut going to lose the entire province.
That's right, Quebec is a PROVINCE.
A Province of the NATION of CANADA.
And always fucking will be.

It will remain so a province, even you call it as a nation in the Constitution.
People don't really understand the definiton of "nation", which does not always means independent. For example, Scotland is a nation within the UK. Catalonia is a nation within Spain. Are all of them independent? No...and it doesn't have to be in order to call them a nation.
Why should Canada ban the BQ? Canada can't...it's unconstitutional and it would underestimate the democratic values that Canada always held so dear.
Elvis: Ciboire...quand on parle anglais, on utilise toujours les mots ANGLAIS. Ostie que c'est laid de lire des mots français hâchés dans tes phrases en anglais. "Québecer" est "Quebecker", "fédéralistes" est "federalists", etc. Trouve un dictionnaire pis arrête de pisser sur la langue anglaise et française. Crisse...
