RUEZ, you just don't get it... You don't understand Quebec. This is about preserving Quebec within a united and strong Canada.

   

You should take a look at how the Natives have done this, then rethink your position.

There is a mature, rational bipartisan way to conduct oneself, that addresses mutual benefits, then you have how Kebec does it.

   

No it isn't, bill 101 was the brain child of a racist ass.

   

No I get it just fine. Quebec is forcing people to use French by legislation. Rather than letting it survive or die on it's own.

   

There are many Native communities that are on the brink of cultural suicide with suicides, alcoholism, etc..
I really don't see what's so wrong with Quebec having to play hardball to preserve their way of life.







Dude, in a world of globalization, one must be tough. I admire Quebec for being strong, but of course I'm a Federalist too and I don't like the 'give me more money' attitude nor the seperatists. Even the thought of leaving it to 'survive or die' makes me question your Canadianism.

   

That's a good way to start an argument with me. Who are you to question my patriotism?

   

Whoever I have to be. Like it or not, Quebec was pivotal in the creation of this country and has always been important. Our country was built by the: English, French and Native peoples (of course immigrants came after but that's another story) This country isn't a 'single people'. French Canada has always been a source of conflict and progress. Without Quebec, we lose our identity.. without French we are no longer Canadian.

   

Bullshit. I agree they were part founders. Although I don't want them to leave, a person could argue that Canada could grow stronger without the constant threat of Quebec separation, and the money being thrown at them to support their failing economy.

   

So if natives use distasteful tactics to preserve their culture, it's ok then?

   

What about the 'money being thrown' at the Northern Territories. Or the 'money being thrown' at the Maritimes...? There are many things we could do to 'improve' our economy, but that does not mean it is justified or acceptable. I strongly agree that the threat of separation is unacceptable, but when will we ever get a leader who will be able to fix it? I also agree that their economy could be a lot better, the unions have to be tossed out.

   

I don't believe Bill 101 is distasteful. Depends what 'tactics' they used..

   

I smell a double standard here. So far he's said what's not ok for anyone else is perfectly acceptable for Quebec.

   

Finally we agree on something.

   

Nonono. If Quebec resorted to violence or extremism then of course it'd be wrong. For example, I believe the Quiet Revolution was wrong. I'm not the double-standards type of guy.

   

Believe me, I almost want to throw something at the boob-tube when I see students protesting in Quebec about their 'high tuition' costs. They have the lowest costs in the country!
