Once again you come back to the government

Posted by Guigue (aka Guigue) Nov 27 '08, 15:57

Because yes, once you remove culture, and sports (which we have in common but is also a rivalry), then the strongest bond that connect us all is the government.

Unfortunately, most of us don't agree with most you you on that. Part of it is historical, and that doesn't change in 10, 20, or 50 years.

If that bond between us isn't strong enough, then join a organization that pushes for the separation of Quebec FROM Canada. Sorry.

Bullshit. The idea that the Bloc represents a different form of government is wrong because they'll never govern and people voting for them know that - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:02 19
- Wow okay you're more serious about this than I thought... - Guigue Nov 27, 16:09 13
  - Quebec voters have never voted in large numbers for a non-Quebec leader of a national party. Do you think that is a coincedence? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:13 1
    - (this one is definitely meant in jest) Oh, NWBR. You're such an embittered martyr. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:16
  - I think NWBR is just upset that Quebec gets its own entire party to assert its Provincial interests on a Federal level. - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:11 10
    - No. I'm upset that I'm always told to make excuses for special status and special programs without being told by anyone as to why. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:16 9
      - Because we're Canadian. We're nice. We are persistent even in the face of adversity, we are determined to keep our country whole, and we want - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:20 8
        
        How can a country be whole when a large percentage of its people don't give a flying fig what happens to the rest of it? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:22 7
        
        By the will of the people. I thought I made that clear already? - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:39 6
        
        ... to finalize the thought, the single most important tactic is persistence, even in the face of adversity and failure. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:40 5

        Well good I guess, because your strategy has been in place for fifty years and can hardly be said to be working. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:42 3
        
        And *fine*, go get your rocks off. - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:43
        
        Wow, I think you should open a history book and see how it was in Quebec 50 years ago -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 16:43
        
        Attitudes like yours will bring us to the brink of what Belgium is facing. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:43
- well it was Stephane Dion, but... -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 16:06 1
  - I dropped the caveat from earlier. "Non-elected." Justin Trudeau's the most likely person now. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:08
- You really think it's going to be a big deal? Something so petty as this? Oooh ... you're going to have a sad, sad decade. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:04 2
  - Bery, I knew before you posted on B2 that you're posting stuff to just rile me up, so please tell me you're not this disengaged and aloof. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:09 1
    - I am dead serious in this one opinion: The issue of Quebec Sovereignty v. Canada is *not* going to be the dominant crisis of the next decade. - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:13
