The Confederate flag represents a failed ideology. From racism and segregation, to the use of violence and murder as a form of forwarding an agenda.
I won't go so far as to say the collective that is Quebec embodies those ideals. But gov'ts of Quebec have managed to enact legislation, and act or speak, in a manner not dissimilar to them.
The blaming of the ethnic vote for a failed referendum, the belief that only Quebec separatism be taken seriously, while the gov't of the day largely ignored and marginalized the overwhelming and almost unanimous vote against separation, by the First Nations.
Quebec has changed a lot over the years. I still have bad memories of my life on the res in Maniwaki. I actually support Quebec's right to self determination in principle. But the collective view from it's leadership needs to straighten itself out before it comes to fruition.
Good point they tried a few times,and each time the people said NO but the PQ seems to have a hearing problem,or they have sh*t in their ears,and they still dream of making a country.
With what would they make a country if there is nothing to support it?
there is apparently oil under an island in the St Lawrence PM Charest started his "Plan Nord" and as i said in other thread we still have "la clique du plateau" who always say no to everything,and their followers.
