[quote:IssueX:MV8yMDU4NzA4XzM0NjI1OTIyX0I2Nzk1NjFB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 28178955:MV8yMDU4NzA4XzM0NjI1Njc0XzI5MzE0MDU3] Being from western Canada I dont really view Quebec as much more than a sponge sucking cash out of the federal tax revenue. [/quote] this is the thing I don't understand French and English have been in upper North America since the 1700s Why can't you guys just get along? I have Acadian ancestry, those guys who were booted out of Nova Scotia during that bit of ethnic cleansing which took place by the English way back in the day To this day, when I was in Nova Scotia, the place remains highly segregated as far as I could tell, with the Acadian shore speaking french almost exclusively, french everything, flying the Acadian flag, and the 'english', who would pull us aside and tell us how awful the French were It's as if the French are Canada's version of the Mexicans in the USA, people who were there right from the beginning of european colonization, and bilingual because government demands dual language on everything, but the ordinary people resent it I say the secession thing only in jest, because the parti Québécois are always threatening to leave anyway Anyway, as we have our own secession petitions going on down here, its always fun to watch it happening someplace else :5a: [/quote]
