I'm from Québec, and I support the independence, but I'm not going all butthurt about it, because I know it's ain't going to happen, I just support it.
It isn't necessary in my opinion. That's a lot of shit to change and it'd be a while before they'd be up and ready. And for what? Their culture? Just practice it personally. If they're worried about future generations leaving their culture behind, big whoop. Brainwash them from a young age and you're set. Otherwise it's their choice. It seems it's less about preserving their culture and more about forcing it on others.

Quebec can fuck off imo, I don't feel like learning their language all the way on the other side of Canadia.

[QUOTE=chimitos;30172048]Wikipedia disagrees with you.[/QUOTE] The Naval Jack, yes, not the Flag of the Confederate States of America, which would be: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Confederate_National_Flag_since_Mar_4_1865.svg/125px-Confederate_National_Flag_since_Mar_4_1865.svg.png[/img]
looks like shit
[QUOTE=Snail562;30170097]They succeeded in seceding, they didn't succeed in the war they started because of the Union transporting supplies. Also I support Quebec seceding as the more countries there are in the world, the better. My reasoning behind that is if you didn't like your country's laws you have more options to choose from. What kind of shitty reason is that anyway? Boo-hoo your poor culture. Practice it in your homes dumbasses.[/QUOTE] Okay idiot, Culture isn't what's practiced in your home, It's what your society is made up of, It's what you and your friends do, It's what your gatherings and hold traditions, it's a community, not something to be practiced in your home by yourself with your family, it's to be shared.
Well if they put as much effort into gathering together families and celebrating their culture as they do yelling at everyone about it then they'd have nothing to worry about.
I'm sorry but I hate Quebec. They complain about everything and anything, they leech federal money like mad but yet say fuck you and want to be independent (which wouldn't work they'd fail so fast), they have that stupid Quebecois "federal" party that isn't federal and just does everything it can to get stuff for Quebec fuck all the other provinces in their mind, Quebec blatantly disregards the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they have some unwarranted feeling of superiority as if they are their own nation, etc etc there's lots more. Basically Quebec is what you get when French people are isolationist and interbreed for 400 years.
[QUOTE=Parakon;30172276]Well if they put as much effort into gathering together families and celebrating their culture as they do yelling at everyone about it then they'd have nothing to worry about.[/QUOTE] Do you actually notice that they have specific traditions that isn't celebrated in Canada? I can specifically relate to the dying culture because i'm a Newfoundlander myself and the culture is dying out due to westernization, Almost every state in the USA is the same, along with Canada.

In all seriousness though, people already associate Quebec with the culture. And it isn't like Canada isn't trying to help keep it alive, I could understand the want to seperate if the rest of Canada was super-intolerant about it, but they aren't. I can't see them being another country making a significant difference.

If the people wanted to, let them, if it leads to turmoil they'll be join back into Canada, If they hit it off, congratulations to them. And I do agree again, Canada has been specifically tolerant to their demands.
when i told those frenchies in that CSS server to separate from the rest of canada i didnt think they were going to DO IT
If Quebec hadn't joined Canada in the first place it would have been forcibly taken over by America, and any unique culture would have been destroyed due to the "manifest destiny." We at least try to accommodate, but think of what could have happened if they said no in the first place, they'd be culturally somewhere close to Louisiana. If it wasn't for Canada, you wouldn't have a culture to worry about losing at this point. I honestly think separatists are either ignorant by choice or by force to just what "independence" would really be, and that it really wouldn't be a good thing for either Quebec or Canada, but would be worse for Quebec. I'd be willing to bet that the nation of Quebec wouldn't last one parliamentary term before wanting to re-integrate into Canada because they'd be sent into an economic crisis in under a year.
[QUOTE=Aman VII;30172332]Is change a bad thing?[/QUOTE] Change is not a bad thing, but things that apply to change specifically in situations are. Losing your culture and thus your identity is a huge negative for me.
Fuck the Pepsi's man, after FLQ you fuckers don't deserve anything [sp]blowing up our goddamn mailboxes was really annoying, Mr. Big Scary Separatist[/sp]
Well they did kidnap and kill a guy, that wasn't cool or necessary.
True, Fanatics of anything are stupid and annoying as fuck, I wish it didn't happen in the first place as it was a blemish to the Quebecois.

As Finland´s story of independence is full of wars and agony, eventually over coming them, I can support Quebec´s eager for independence. I approve this thread [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3664/3371298432_251029fa19.jpg[/img]

If they keep with Canada they will be economically stronger and be better protected from outside forces. If they're independent they will keep their own unique politics and culture alive. If they stay with Canada they will likely loose their own unique politics and culture If they are independent they will be very weak and it will take a long time to be recognized as an independent country. I'm pretty neutral
