My thoughts are exactly the same as yours. I've never met a separatist whose argument for seceding didn't boil down to "them English speakers in ____ city are mean to me!" Otherwise it's just a total ploy for federal government concessions (of the monetary kind). Anyone with a brain knows that the country is stronger together than split up, and they're already doing everything humanly possible to preserve their culture (read: use of the French language).

All the results I ever see personally of separatism is annoying lamers on the Net flooding Canadian IRC channels with "VIVE LE QUEBEC LIBRE!" messages and stuff like that. Honestly, Quebecers as a whole have to be the least mature group of people I've ever seen online. After the WTC attacks on the 11th, what group of people spammed channel #new-york with laughing and taunts? Quebecers (you can easily tell by the IP). Not just one or two or a half dozen. A crapload of them. Most hateful bunch of snotty kids I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with in my life.

If there's an intelligent separatist out there, please, please, post here and let me hear your hopefully rational views.

Edit: Spelling.

well, I'm not canadian, but I do have relatives in Toronoto(Aunt, Uncle and 3 cousins) and my mom was talking with one of my aunt's(her sister) friends. She grew up in Quebec and my mom asked her about seceedeing and she basicly said that for every reason that they wanted to suceed in the 80s has been fufilled by the Canadian government and the only people who want to suceed are the younger generation who doesn't understand the reason, they just want to be radical(or something along those lines)

Most non-quebecers see the Quebecers as a bunch of whiney selfish babies. They bitch and whine all day long about wanting to leave and threaten the government. Meanwhile they get a CRAPLOAD of government money and jobs. They think that they are special and deserve more than the rest of Canada. A referendum was held several years ago and nearly half voted that they wanted to leave. I don't think they really want to necessarily. They just want to scare the federal gov't into my handouts.

Canada can do it like the North and South in the US. Tell them you better not and when they do it anyway, conquer them and drive them to subservience.

god I wish some of you would learn to use spell check

It's secede....got it? SECEDE



Speaking for a Canadian outside of Quebec
frogs can go to hell for all I care
(FROGS by the way is a term of endearment like Pakis we use to refer to the morons
in quebec who feel they are hard done by and insist on the use of french etc.)

It is a tremendous economic drain and frogs that insist on only francais make me want to puke

The rest of the country is over 99 % non-french but still we have to endure loads of
french programming as well as french on many things we buy.



Pierre, the French fighter pilot, and his girlfriend Marie are having a
pleasant little picnic by the river Seine.

It's a beautiful day and love is in the air, so Marie leans over to Pierre and says:
"Pierre, kiss me!".

So our hero grabs a bottle of red wine and splashes it on Marie's lips.

"What are you doing, Pierre?" shrieks Marie.

"Well, my name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot,
and when I have red meat I like to have red wine!"

His answer is good enough for Marie and things begin to heat up.

So she says : "Pierre, kiss me lower."

Our hero rips off her blouse, grabs a bottle of white wine and starts
pouring it all over her tits.

"Pierre, what are you doing?"

"My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have white meat
I like to have white wine!"

They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up.
Marie leans over once more and softly whispers into his ear,
"Pierre, kiss me lower."

Pierre tears off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and sprinkles
it all over her bush.
He grabs a match and lights it on fire.

Patting the flames out furiously, Marie screams,
"PIERRE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!?"

"My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot,
and when I go down, I go down in flames!"

:p

I love Easterners (Quebec included). They come here to Calgary Alberta to find work in our booming economy, artifically inflate the housing market, and people like me who own inner city property, see their propery rise in value drastically. keep coming. (just stay the hell off the freeway if you can't keep up)

I am with Skoorb. People in Quebec are like fanatically religious people: irrational. They see only one way; their way.

Like most non-quebecors, I think separatists are a bunch of whiny spoiled little brats that need a good beating :|



They seem to think that seprating from Canada will make their lives better, which it will not. They also suck up our hard earned money, like a bribe for them to stay in.

They really piss me off.
