Anything good for Québec is good for a separate Quebec.

Ironically, the Quebec equivalent of “Eh?” is “Hein?”. I guess it’s part of the anglo culture that sticks in franco Quebec. We sure must be racists…

If it weren’t for idiots like you, New Quebecker, the idea of separation wouldn’t even cross a Quebecker’s mind. Clearly, you prefer to be part of the problem and not part of the solution.

You should be so lucky that the French of old times weren’t as bastardly with the British as the British were with the French. For all I know, you would be as big a separatist as Duceppe.

And please, don’t give us the “we’re all immigrants” argument. Especially in your case, it doesn’t hold. If you really believed in it, you wouldn’t make a any distinction between francos and anglos.

I live in Montreal, and I have many acquaintances in West Island, a major anglo territory. Guess what? Those people over there, with their Irish names, are pretty much all bilinguals, and gladly speak French to whoever doesn’t speak English. To most of them, people are people, no matter where they’re from and no matter their political orientations. If they met you face to face, they would probably kick your teeth in. You are a disgrace to those smart anglos who have understood that the only way to get around this national identity problem is to accept that we have different cultures and integrate it into our daily lives. And that implies tolerance, which you are entirely devoid of.

Zusuki as a teacher, wow !

For shame!

Learn to speak both English and French, and your children too. Make yourself some friends, and learn to take pride in your great opportunity to benefit from two very deep rooted cultures which are NOT mutually exclusive. France and England used war as population control for centuries.

We don’t want those kind of attitudes in Canada, especially now that London and Paris smartened up finally — now co-operation is the new and proper dialectic, the new way to exist in a happier way.

Jonathan, I see what you mean, with posts like New Quebecker perhaps he should look into being X-Quebecker!

At least he’s not Quebecois! (sorry I don’t have my accent keys here in the library.)

ABP: yeah depression is very scary for all of us — we should try to co-operate instead of bitching and dissing. Good post — you have a soft heart inside, but you get straight A+ ‘s for PESSIMISM, well OK some realism too.

All provinces and Quebec ( need co-operation) Sort of assymetrical the federation,….EH! What is the Quebec traduction de EH! Eh bien….??

Hey MidnightJack How about the VACHE ESPAGNOLE si fameuse. Good post. Stability is good. La revolution francaise etait une tres bonne idee jusqu’a la terreur! Puis tombent les tetes, et coulent la sangue!!!

Desole — no accents not my standard I apologise.

Johnny — proportional rep. works all over the world! Don’t be so hide bound! In B.C. it got 60% approval but didn’t pass because Campbell, the premier set the bar at 66% way too high, the existing power holders never want it, but its got to come if we want to improve on democracy. People are pissed off in this country because they HAVE LITTLE OR NO REPRESENTATION — this includes me as a Green supporter!

Kriss: Wow you had Dion as a prof! That is way cool!

(I guess I could brag I had David Suzuki as a prof he was pretty fantastically cool)

Dion is not a Robespierre!! — he doesn’t want to send you to l’echafaud pour faire tomber la tete!

Robespierre was a great orator but noneless a very nasty man emotionally. Vivre par l’epee mourir par l’epee. Reason and Goodwill we need Blood and hatred not.

– so hopefully smarten up New Quebecker — your attitude shows you to be such a SAD example of citizens we really need. You could do so much better– this is just REally really sad!!

I don’t want to call you a “redneck” but why do you insult your fellows here — is this just “pyschotherapy” for all your frustrations in life, to “diss” les canadiens who have been here for 400 years! Pathetic!!
