Try and keep up with the thread on this, m'kay?

I know it goes pretty fast here, but if you really dig down deep and apply yourself, you might not look the fool:lol::lol:


Good advice, try following it.

Quite seriously, Justin Trudeau is a Quebecois dip****, of exactly the same type from which we have drawn FAR too many PMs.............and he lacks vision and intellect.

He ain't the new messiah.

Canada is moving on past Quebec.

Sorry.

You're really going to have to make up your mind. Either he is like his old man or he is a quebecois. Can't be both.

I think Trudeau light will positively charm Canadians post Harper during the height of the great mess now unflodin. He's in but no way is he over his head, the party knows what's best, he's got the right credentials. Knows how things work or you wouldn't be considering him right now.

Ahhh....his old man was Quebecois.....his desire was to turn the entire nation into a larger Quebec.

And your desire is to turn it into a larger Israel. I'll take the Qebecers thankyou.

So - how come no answer to the Vingt Deux comment (that'd be Van Doos in case you needed some clarification)


You already know the answer, so why ask the question? It was you that made the comment about the "French" and ever since you've been dancing and moving the goal posts.

Is baby-T a UFC fighter?.. Serve in the Royal 22nd Regiment?

You generalized and referred simply to the "French."

I must have missed that part. If so he did a lousy job seeing as it was under his watch that the first PQ government came to power and tried to leave. They couldnt have liked him much if they did that.

Just wanted to turn the knife a bit, and I am simply restating what has been said by many over the years.

Oh, and on that goal post thingy - seems to me that you are doing more of the dancing than anyone else

Yep, I sure did.

Regardless, it means very little in the grand scheme. All of the usual suspects get their panties all in a bunch when anyone takes a run at their Messiah and start casting the net as wide as possible to deflect from the core premise.

I kinda get a kick out of it

Really, last time I checked we lived in a democracy, if a region decides to leave they can take that province with them.. if Quebec can have special rights and leave, so can any other province in Canada.

I have the same position for Quebec as I do for Alberta. Anyone is free to leave. The real estate stays here.

The US is a democracy too. How did the Union react when Texas seceded from the US?

Hmmmm/...
that means he could end up as Prime Minister of Canada for a solid three decades....

ha. In theory true. That'd beat Mackenzie King's record. I think he was at around 25 years in office all together.

Isnt that the definition of troll?

Agreed. The referendums in Quebec would have only allowed the Quebec government to begin "negotiating" with the feds. It would not have allowed them to simply leave.

That's not going to happen..

Can Texas Secede from the Union? - YouTube

However in Canada, our laws are different and allow for a province to split if a majority of people in that province so desires.

The 3 provinces I can think of that are interested in leaving Canada would be Quebec, Alberta and Newfoundland (not sure why, but I have heard this)

Also, if Quebec where to leave Canada, there is a danger of civil war.

Not between Canada and Quebec initially but between Quebec and the native Canadians in northwest Quebec. These natives who permitted major hydroelectric projects on their territory want to remain in Canada.

Quebec wants to retain the hydro dams on separation. So when (if) Quebec leaves Canada, the natives might just leave Quebec, leading to a very nasty situation.

Also, large parts of the province of Quebec are Anglophone. They might want to secede and join Ontario, or form a new Canadian province.

I understand that. I'm just saying if I were in charge. I would handle it the same way Lincoln did. Take the land back adn kill whoever gets in the way.

Try again. PET was a federalist, plain and simple.

Yep.

And he wanted to make the entire nation bilingual......a ridiculous idea.

And he brought to 24 Sussex a set of cultural ideas that were kinda lefty, anti-American,. anti-military (unless he wanted to declare martial law), and without any understanding of the culture of other provinces........

In other words he thought of Canada as a larger Quebec.
