...Me. How can people share a country when there's an entire group that doesn't even try to connect with the others?

Responses:

What is it that you want them to share with you? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:57 10
- I want Quebeckers to show that they actually want to be Canadians. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:58 9
  - Also, you're using the word wrong. Quebecker also refers to Aboriginal and english-speaking residents of Quebec. - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:02 1
    - You may be correct. But when the official line of the provincial government is so nationalistic as well, it's tough not to encompess everyone. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:08
  - Who else do you want to demonstrate their desire to be Canadian? First Nations? Chinese-Canadians? - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:59 6
    - And that makes it okay? That means it's unfair of me to ask why I should continue to support the demands of people who want no part of my country? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:02 5
      - honestly, it seems a bit strange for you to be saying "You shouldn't want the things you say you want." Seems poor as an overall strategy. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:06 2
        
        That's the thing though. They say they don't want to leave Canada, but they don't show that they care about Canada either. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:12 1
        
        They've had a different vision of Canada for hundreds of years and will continue to for hudnreds more. might as well command the tide not to rise. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:14
      - No, but in my opinion, it makes you Un-Canadian to be so xenophobic. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:03 1
        
        (see what I did there? I proved your point, but accused you of the same exact mentality as them.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:06
