Those proud Canadians in the province are taken into consideration, I take them into consideration by liking them auto-maticly. It's the ones who complain all the time "Oh this is not fair", "English that, French This", etc, etc.

Always stating one year that are going to seperate as a majority, then when it comes down to it the majority doesn't actually do it but then next year they are back as a majority saying the same old bs that Quebec should seperate, and basicly slapping the rest of Canada in the face and end up not doing it. A rotation that keeps continues.

I really think they should just give up, instead of complaining about there problems that they got and threatening to seperate from Canada although it abviously has worked out fine for Quebec since the Government wants them to stay so badly, they are willing to give them bonus's.

They should do what the rest of Canada does, and just suck it up and work to fix those problems instead. Everytime Alberta has a problem, or Ontario, etc. We don't threaten to leave Canada and seperate. We work on that problem, and we get it fixed.

   

That's true Barcardi. By the way, this is only a joke, but do you drink rum and coke?

Quebec is looked at as a bunch of whiners, and throughout, I have been trying to explain the very thing at CKA that there are Federalists in QC. We actually love Canada.

And lil, no I don't look at Facebook. I barely sign on CKA, That should explain the 2500 post in an almost 4 year period. Still, I am a dedicated Quebecer that tries to show that some are actually proud Canadians.

   

truth be told, I'm the first generation in my family that doesn't speak french, and my family was originally from Quebec. All the way to the late 1890s.

I have a few reasons to want to favour quebec, and during the last referendum I was downright upset with the alberta rednecks that were screaming "leave!"

But, that was 20 years ago, and I've become much more conservative in my thinking, and frankly I'm not oppose to the idea of Alberta leaving Canada. Those stinking filthy Liberals have fucked up Ottawa so bad, I am willing to form a new nation.

   

Yes I can read , I know its a joke. You explained in your first post. I am just trying to make a point.

   

And I completely agree in sort. By the way, I was only kidding about the previous comment, but had to say it.


Still, I have stated a long time ago, that Quebec should be like any province and not get preferential treatment. Simply because it makes us look like whiners. But then again, realistically, I am not complaining either. But then again, separatists are always the ones that make themselves heard louder.

Also, the Canadian media always seems to broacast the most controversial stories, therefore separatists whining will be more likely to make the news throughout Quebec and Canada. Especially, the Quebec media such as TVA, which seems to be totally biased, that should explain for the rise of nationalism in the province troughout the years. Their views are pro nationalism and biased towards Federalism. I know that I have said it a few times, still, it is important to recognize that very aspect. The ROC seems to be questioning the rise of separatism, look no further than TVA and their affiliates newspapers and the bias media.

   

i would say all the money quebec would have to pay back, the land they would have to give back, and all the money that will dry up from the rest of canada

   

land could be an issue, money is not. Quebec paid in as well,
and we all accepted the transfer payments system,
be it paying in or receiving.

There will always be a disgruntled part of Quebec,
just as in Alberta or BC.

its kind of funny that living in one of the best countries in the world,
we still have enough time to rip each other apart rather than continue to build
on our sucesses.

The best solution for separatism is still a strong economy.

With the trouble thats coming, the pequistes will have more ammo.. again.


edit-- gotta like the sig, CC

   

Oh Lord, attitudes like yours Bacardi are what make me nuts. Misinformed generalizations, Anti-Quebec attitude, wrong assumptions.

The majority of Quebecers do not want to separate from Canada, we've had 2 referendums to confirm that.

The bitching you are hearing is coming from Separatists, and the last time I looked, separatism has been put on the shelf for lack of interest from the population. The parti Québécois is a shadow of it's former self and the Bloc is fighting for relevance within Parliament.

Oh yeah, there are as many cool Quebecers as there are cool Ontarians, or Albertans (Aging Redneck included, I'm determined to change his attitude about Quebec as well), so stop with the attacks already.

   

lol, i got the fix for AR..

lock him up in the sugar shack for a couple days.
hook up an iv of pea soup..
regular poutine injections..
watching reruns of the Canadiens Cup victories..

then turn him loose on all the cute Quebecois girls for a couple days.


worked for me

   

Someone in Ontario should form a party for the sole purpose of pushing Ontario's interests at the Federal level. Can you say 'Coalition Government'.

   

Because, unlike Alberta, you helped craft Confederation, saw the potential in this great land and have contributed significantly to its culture and politics ever since.

Oh...and you're not some antiquated nationalist bigot.

My Canada includes Quebec and most Quebecois agree.

   

Hey, then do you think we could readadress equalization payments?

   

because a vote for the bloc is equal to a waste of a vote. Separatism is dead and will only be talked about again in history books as the rest of Canada (and most of Quebec) is just waiting for the older separatist to die off. When "to stop a harper majority" is the only reason a party is giving you to vote for than they're admitting their policies and party are a complete joke. (the bloc isn't the only party giving this reason for votes to, so this extends to their parties as well)

   

and you should want to contribute to a Canadian political party for the benefit of Canada, not a provincial party only interested in one province.

   

That's #1 in the Ontario Block platform followed by proportional representation.

Then 5 million Ontario residents vote for the Ontario Block and form the Canadian government with help from the BQ.
