Not a chance. That is our's by right of conquest. That's far too much strategically valuable land. Give them a small country on the north shore around. Small water frontage to minimize their ability to control the St. Lawrence. North shore to isolate them from any foreign country.

The indians and the french don't understand they were conquered. It is really our fault though for being nice to them after the fact.

The "indians" were never "conquered". The Crown made treaties and promises for land. The Crown has broken the majority of those treaties and promises. At no time have the "indians" ceded their sovereignty.

Save your breath, I actually proved all that to him a long time ago, he even conceded.

But here we are, right back at the beginning. Proving of course what everyone suspects, lol.

Yadda, yadda, blah, blah. The 'first nations' were originally immigrants from eastern asia who in turn were immigrants from africa. What does it f*cking matter who was what 400 or 4000 years ago. None of it is productive to Canada today. When are you dumb f*cks gonna realize that and learn to make your own way looking to the future not fighting battles from the distant past.

When you move to Nunavut there are all kinds of lectures you can attend to learn their history. One of the things they teach is that the Inuit who occupy the Arctic today arrived around 1000 AD. Something they don't teach is that the first white baby born in North America was born in Newfoundland or Labrador around 950 AD. The notion that all North American Aboriginals have been here for thousands of years is untrue. It is merely the politically correct flavor in Ottawa at the moment. Some Aboriginal settlement started when ours started.

The sad reality is that an organized few are speaking on behalf of the province... There comes a time when ambivalence and passiveness qualifies as support.

In that regard, if those that oppose separation do not feel a responsibility to take action, it's essentially the same as support

You can apply that to the whole country. 40% regularly dont vote at all. Thats a huge chunk of the population.

I know I'm wasting my time, but I really wish you could back that up for me, lol.

And so, after more than a decade of relative peace on the constitutional front, echoes of 1990s battles are resounding again.

Good thing we don't have a brand new government like Greens in Ottawa counting dandelions. Bill Vanderzalm, BC r/w premier in the 1990's, said he didn't want to lend BC support against separatism because as a little Dutch boy growing up in Holland he admired Canada and didn't want to do anything.

Wow, marines kill black and hispanic babies?

I know I have accused the armed forces of all nations, and at times specifically the us forces, of killing innocents in times of "war", but I have never gone so far as to make an obvious unsupportable statement like the above. That crosses the line in my opinion.

If you want your opinion respected perhaps you should respect others.

Again you lower the bar. Darwin (Awards)are looking for you.

My description of "short, nasty and brutish" comes from the BC Supreme Court decision in the case that lead to the Nishgaa Land Claim Settlement - Delgamuuk v Canada I think it was called although my spellings are likely wrong. The judge's decision was not political. It was a factual description of how the people lived before European settlement. Show why you think I am wrong. Anyone can call names.
