You have a problem with relieving the rest of Canada from a provincial monopoly over a basic food product? Care to explain why that's a bad thing, preventing westerners from having to pay to ship cheese across Canada?

I said Harper is doing many things to provoke Quebec. Many in Quebec are saying he is leading a Crusade on special interests. That he is intently doing things to provoke & to push Quebec into this direction of separation. I'm starting to think its part of his agenda, that he has something to gain from it. Like the separation of Alberta, maybe.

Opening up the cheese & free trade from Europe won't save westerners money on their cheese, and Harper is not discontinuing the quota system. So shipping across Canada won't change. It's only going to hurt cheese manufacturing profits here in Canada, withought dropping prices for Canadians.

The other attack on Quebec I know of. Is the undermining of its Hydro electricity business. Harper has funded billions in screwing that up for them, in New Brunswick.

Again, he is doing it knowing full well that's its bad for Quebec. He is provoking them. Intentionally.

I doubt like Hell if Harper really wants to see Quebec leave. The best situation in my mind is if Quebec stays and is happy, but if they're not they should make up their mind what they want to do and be quiet about it. It's starting to sound like the 5 year old brat who keep threatening to leave home. -:)

So, Canada is starting to fall apart.

I can't wait to see a map of Canada once Quebec has seceded.

It's a sticking for incorporating a rez, people see it as ceding their sovereignty.

I think hunboldt, tuber and PN are sharing a brain. It's the best explanation I can muster for the similar stupidity contained in their posts.

Methinks you could be waiting a long time. We have a federal debt of about $600 billion and of that Quebec's share is about $150 billion, so they will likely be made to leave a certified cheque for that amount before they go anywhere. Then they are going to have to figure out what they are going to use for a currency and have the resources to back it up. So I don't think they will go anywhere before Xmas. -:)

Don't worry. You'll still be twice as large as the UK.

As far as I can recall, the French surrendered in 1940 and their government ran to Britain and set up shop there, along with the governments of Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland Yugoslavia, King Zog of Albania and Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. The British then liberated France in 1944.

It is the French who should be grateful for the British saving their butts during WWII, not vice versa.

Although we'll never hear a word of thanks from the Frogs. They're of the belief that de Gaulle single-handedly liberated their country. He's the guy who showed such gratitude to the British - whom he called "Anglo- Saxon Imperialists" because they had the temerity to invade France to drive out the Nazis - that he blocked British accession to the EC (known as the EU since 1993) throughout the 1960s.

I hope your history teacher, if he's still alive, is not reading your posts. He'd be horrified,

Yeah. The British were notable for their absence, weren't they?

The Canadians, meanwhile, got changed in telephone boxes beforehand, were able to shoot deadly laser beams from their eyes and liberated France on their own with their hands tied behind their backs.

Or that's the impression I get on here.

The reality is that the British had three times as many troops taking part in the Normandy Landings as the Canadians did, and had almost as many troops taking part as the supposedly mighty United States did (of course, the US was dwarfed by the British Empire during D-Day).

Although you'd never know it if you've ever watched Saving Private Ryan. In typical Hollywood style, that movie has you thinking it was just Americans saving everybody.

I thought you said he was stopping the Quebec monopoly. Won't that open it up for western Canada. Matter of fact I thought there is a western cheese producer, isn' t there?
