Depends where you settle. If out settle outside of Montreal, then yeah, you would look out of place. However, if you stay within the boundaries of Montreal, then as an English speaker you will fit right in. The west part of the city is mainly English speaking, this is especially true if you live in the West Island. The city of Montreal is perhaps (unofficially), the most bilingual city in the country. It has English and French publically funded school boards in addition to the two English and two French universities within the city. It has English and French hospitals, English and French newspapers, English and French radio/TV ... and the list goes on and on ...

Alberta is the ony province that should consider separation. It's a huge success story and the rest of the provinces must seem like baggage to Albertans. Separation involves enormous risks. That you're economically strong is essential.

As the Albertans are such excellent examples of evolutionary fitness imagine what they could do with the rest of Canada if given a change. I would suggest moving Albertans to Newfoundland and the Newfoundlanders to Alberta. What happens to genius is that is grows stale if it isn’t given a chance to thrive.

The fact that one group of people holds back another from successes is one reason they should separate. If another vote happens in the future I would purpose that the rest of Canada gets to vote them out of the Country. The fact they hold a gun to our head to separate or make them happy on every issue that relates to them. The fact that they will always have 25% of the elected seats in Federal government regardless of there population. They should take 25%of the debt when they leave. Is that fair. They most likely created 40% of the dept . A culture should be strong enough to stand on it own two feet without having to be protected by laws for it survival. The fact that employment to any federal job is favor to employ French speaking Canadians. The Faster they separate the faster we will live in a productive Country instead of wasting so much money and time on the issue’s of separation. Ask yourself how many people took French in school and can’t speak a word of it now. What a waste of time and money that is. I’m all for learning languages but we shouldn’t all be put in a class to learn French. It’s a dream that Canada is BI lingual. A dream created by a French man. I wonder why?

Was Victoria, now Ottawa
Logic 7, I'm trying to find where I said Montreal was a separatist city. Maybe you should read my post before you comment on it. If you think my comment was ignorant you should argue why. If you don’t, then you’re ignorant or unable to articulate your thoughts. Hopefully your smart enough to tell my why you disagree with, whatever it is you disagree with me on. I still can’t figure out what it is.

Let Quebec go and see how long they would last. They would become part of yankeeland or come crying back to Canada to let them back in.

However, they won't go, they know which side their bread is buttered on.

Yeah, well I wasn't commenting on that. ;)

It's just (most) people don't think about things like the economy when they go out and vote. You can't play on people's emotions and inspire a revolution based on the economy, which is why Ontario and Alberta will NEVER be able to mount a successful separation campaign. The reason this movement is so popular in Quebec is because our politicians are so good at playing divisive politics!

Quebec is the only provincy where there is that much taxe to pay if i am not mistaken,and for your own information, there is more money coming out of quebec, than coming in, they will always have 25% of the seat, because the population of quebec is about 23.5% of the whole canada, you should know that by now.
