I don't want to separate from Canada :(

I live in Ottawa as of now. I really would hate to have to bring my passport to get beer in Quebec. Note: That likely wouldn't be the case.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;44139673] Central America called they said you're dumb[/QUOTE] Because geography is so clearly defined. Physically they're part of the continent but more often than not, most people only think of the US, Mexico and Canada when thinking "North America".

Quebec in a nutshell : Everyone that speaks English doesn't want to separate, 50% of French people wants to separate. It ain't happening. It might've happened back when the immigration in Quebec wasn't so massive, but then a lot of scummy shit happened to make sure the vote didn't go through. Most people immigrate to Quebec, fake learning French, then when they're done with citizenship leaves to West Canada or USA. [editline]5th March 2014[/editline] Our "tyrannical" laws that keeps French as a primary language is the only reason we can still somewhat discuss in French in Montreal, to begin with. Even then, that's a stretch, since a lot of English people can't be bothered to learn French, while French people have to learn English to go in the work industry. It's fairly one-sided.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;44142031]Because geography is so clearly defined.[/QUOTE] Yes actually geography is very clearly defined. Politically and culturally Central America is very different from Canada and the US, but the two white countries aren't very similar to Mexico, which, in your obvious Amero-centric view, is included in 'Real' North America

i think there are much more important issues in quebec the PQ should be focusing on IE: the corruption

no one really liked ignatieff he seemed really shady

[QUOTE=Aman;44136124]Wasn't their party decimated in the last elections or was that just on a federal level? Either way they are idiots Quebec should not separate and can't feasibly anyway.[/QUOTE] Why can't they separate? I lived there for mostly my whole life. The recent charter of rights bill that they had was mostly just a way for them to garner a bunch of votes. If there was an election right now, today, they would most definitely win by majority vote. So then what stops them from separating? This is the exact reason why right now, people are not investing in a lot of Quebec companies, out of fear of separation, It's a horrible idea, but it can definitely happen... [QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;44139141]How much of the Quebec population want to separate?[/QUOTE] Quite a few, and there are quite a few who don't want to separate, but will still vote for the Parti Quebecois regardless in support of their other ideals, i.e. being xenophobic as hell towards anyone who isn't a Catholic, Christian, or Protestant.

[/QUOTE] Cause their economy is very intertwined with the rest of Canada. They basically want to have their cake and eat it. If they separate from Canada they wouldn't get all the perks they currently get from being part of Canada. Not like they 100% couldn't survive but I think they'd be worse off overall.

They are afraid of losing the Quebec culture to the Anglo's and the foreigners. Look at Quebec's language police (Office québécois de la langue française) millions of tax payer dollars are going into that load of horse shit, they recently went after a store owner who owned a store in Ontario and another in Quebec, after she made a facebook post about her store in English only. Infact some money for hospitals was cut for the Office québécois de la langue française. I swear the mindset of the Parti Quebecois is "We know separating will hurt our economy, but we'll just take it."

A while later, the "Language Police" showed up asking about it, saying someone complained that the French wasn't larger than the English, as is required by law for all multilingual signage. I really do wonder what the hell the signage in Montreal's Chinatown looks like (if it even has one) given the law about the prominence of French on signage. I know in Toronto some of the signs don't even have English on them, other than L.L.B.O. (acronym for Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario, indicating they're licensed to serve alcohol), and if they do it's usually as a tiny subscript underneath or beside the larger, more prominent Chinese lettering.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44144103] Quebec belongs to the Nords[/QUOTE] We'll drive out les anglais from this land that we own, With our poutine and our language we'll take back out home. All hail to Marois, you are high king! In your great honour we drink and we sing We're the children of Quebec, and we fight all our lives, And when separatism beckons, every one of us whines

[QUOTE=Untouch;44142267]i think there are much more important issues in quebec the PQ should be focusing on IE: the corruption[/QUOTE] But they're the ones who are corrupt. They reek of corporate interest.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44145520]They reek of corporate interest.[/QUOTE] That's true, but that doesn't excuse the PLQ's frauds and corruptions. And the CAQ are clowns. What's left are communists and separatists. Pick your poison.

Quebec solidaire is pretty good, at least unlike PQ or PLQ there's less corruptions (known).

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;44139141]How much of the Quebec population want to separate?[/QUOTE] Hard to say without a vote, but IIRC it came pretty goddamn close last time that there was a referendum.

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;44145911]Hard to say without a vote, but IIRC it came pretty goddamn close last time that there was a referendum.[/QUOTE] A lot changed since then, I'd say since the last referendum was close to 50%, it would probably be more 25-30% now. I'd assume.
