Is Canada bribing Quebec to stay in the country?
$1:
So far Harper has done just that karra.
for thirty years?
Avro STFU except for the Karra thingy. Sniff, sniff I'm honored just to be nominated to be "Karra" I wish I had her/his ability to write such amusing and brilliant prose. The Liberals had 13 years to deal with Quebec and they did nothing but steal our tax dollars and take the bounty and shift it to Quebec visa vie adscam. Canadians won't forget what a pack of lying thieves some Liberals are and were.
Avro stick to a topic, I am tired of your javex induced rants in every thread about Harper and your blind Liberal Party idiology go get laid or something. If you can't add to a converstion try shutting up and listening for a change. L to the forhead Avro.

Yes, Ottawa has been buying them for years, which isn't surprising since we've had so many french Prime Ministers. When someone English from outside the province ever gets in, the Quebec Liberals have managed to get them out, whether through lies, or through political pressure. The fact Harper has survived is amazing. Until the people of Canada wake up and realize this is a battle between "Us and them", we will continue to waste money on a people who truly don't care about you or I.
Well for where they were born.
Sir John Alexander Macdonald Glasgow, Scotland
Alexander Mackenzie Logierait, Scotland
Sir John Joseph Caldwell Abbott St-Andre-Est, Quebec
Sir John Sparrow David Thompson Halifax, Nova Scotia
Sir Mackenzie Bowell Rickinghall, England
Sir Charles Tupper Amherst, Nova Scotia
Sir Wilfrid Laurier Saint-Lin, Quebec
Sir Robert Laird Borden Grand Pre, Nova Scotia
Arthur Meighen Anderson, Ontario
William Lyon Mackenzie King Berlin, Ontario
Richard Bedford Bennett Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick
Louis-Stephen Saint-Laurent Compton, Quebec
John George Diefenbaker Neustadt, Ontario
Lester Bowles Pearson Newtonbrook, Ontario
Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau Montreal, Quebec
Charles Joseph Clark High River, Alberta
John Napier Turner Richmond, Surrey, England
Martin Brian Mulroney Baie-Comeau, Quebec
Avril Phaedra Douglas ("Kim") Campbell Port Alberni, British Columbia
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien Shawinigan, Quebec
Paul Edgar Philippe Martin Windsor, Ontario
Stephen Joseph Harper Toronto, Ontario
So 6 from Ontario, 6 from Quebec, 4 from the United Kingdom, 3 from Nova Scotia, 1 from New Brunswick, 1 from Alberta, and 1 from British Columbia.

Then toss out numbers, let the residents see what part of the National Debt they will be required pay, they can not use our currency and have to print their own, get a passport to come into Canada..
You can't impose a debt on a country, let it be new or not. That would mean negotiating, and both parties accepting terms. But I doubt that would happen, as the federal government has repeated quite often, they won't negotiate.
Not that I care anymore. Chances are we will just split off when alberta does, and go out unnoticed.

But let them go. It's just a threat with no end. They would fail as a country, unless maybe France took them in, but they don't even Speak the same kind of French.
Where did you pick up that we don't speak the same ''kind'' of french?
Keep speculating.

I say that before we divide Canada, we divide Quebec first.
Lets have a real vote to see how many Quebecers want to be a nation, or want to form a new province that doesn't have to put up with Quebec's crap.
The native nations have the right to stay in Canada, and any region that votes to leave Quebec should have the right to form it's own non-quebec, non-separitist province. They can campaign on the slogan " Be careful what you wish for because it's about to come true"
I think we should let the natives form their own country. That would pretty much solve it.

Sepratists in Quebec are a minority; the only reason the Bloc wins any seats is because people know they can vote them in and get the benefit of a party that fights souly for them. Meanwhile, they can still vote NO in a referendum.
Besides, Almost all the land in Quebec is technicly the property of the First Nations. If they really think that Quebec city and a little bit of farmland can support itself... Let them go.
Just like all the land in Canada, your point? Its a claim.
Do we really care? No. They can keep on claiming, we will just keep on ignoring. Unless you missed the pass 100 years of indian land claims.

Yep we pander to the seperatist in Quebec, most people from Quebec are wonderful people but the seperatist are the voice that never shuts up. In two years Alberta and BC will be the largest voting block, Quebec is running our of time to get all those "Special" laws passed or it won't happen. I hope Harper doesn't give them to many concessions just keep the cry babies well fed for another two years and then they shall know what the West is willing to "Put" up with. I smell Canadian Bacon.
Too bad Alberta and BC don't have the same voice. Keep dreaming.

I honestly think Canada would be better off without the constant tug of war and dispute over Language.
I think that Quebec leaving Canada would be the beginning of the end for the French language in Quebec.

They'd no longer be a distinct society within a greater society as a whole. Protecting the French language will take a back seat to driving their economy. Big business is conducted in English and if they want to compete on the world stage they will need to speak English. Then being surrounded by English speaking nations will just increase the speed with which English becomes the dominant language.

Well, we are still very competitive, even though the rise of China has hurt our economy awfully. English, has lost most of its grounds in Québec, and french is the language, period. We've made it so since bill 101 was passed. It has done it's job, and would continue to do so if Québec would ever come to seperate.
I think you failed to notice, that we live in a consumer based economy. As such, if you want people to buy your product, you have to suit theirs needs. It being in french, is still a big need for Québécers. So as long as our societies are bassed on consuming products, Québec will remain french, no matter the ruler.

And thus, the truth on Québèc's "just society". Québèc will never give up land belonging to the Cree, Innu, Algonquin, Mohawks or Huron. Why would they, all of the $$ that does not come from Federal coffers comes from land that is currently under claim ie. tourism and hydro.
You're fucked. And, once you're fucked, my family and I will walk in and claim what is rightfully ours.

Works for me. La Station Touristique de Stoneham and most of the village and surrounding area belongs to MY family, ya knob. Irish and Huron.

Really?? Then why are more and more young Quebeckers enrolled in english schools? Why are more and more francophone parents insisting that their children be given first preferance in anglophone schools? And believe me, I know, as my Mom has taught in many of the different school boards across the province over the past 35 years.
Stop the BS, and do some research. Rightly or wrongly, the world economy is english.
