ROFLMAO!!!
You don't know squat about my province, your whole post was a big confused mess.
First, we were forced in the Constitution in 1867. I presume your
Anglo-Canadian don't tell you these facts and teach you the fable about 2
founding nations? Bullsh*t.
The reason why we never signed the Constitution since 1982 is because we
know, even the federal parties in Quebec, that we're being screwed by
federal laws. But then again, your teachers probably tell you a whole other
stupid story.
But when I see the age-old argument of money, man, I can't resist, it's just
too funny. Quebec is 1/4 of the population of Canada and 1/3 of Canada's
ressources and money. For every dollar we give the federal govt, we get
0.75$ bck, the other 0.25$ going to poor provinces like the Maritimes. We
don't need to pay for them, they are not our responsability. We, as a
French people trying to survive in a English 300Billion people continent,
need to put our money in our economy, not in yours. Ontario and BC are the
only 2 other provinces that are financially not dependant of the others,
Ontario being by far the richest. So your economic reason are totally
biased by your hatred of the Soverainist movement.
Then you go on about the Army. Wake up, buddy. We would not be paying any
taxes to Canada and our soldiers wouldn't be part of your army. 1+1=?
That's it, we could afford our own army, Canada being too poor without the
second richest province gone to afford an army. You need us, we don't need
you. That's why we were forced in the constitution as a conquered land in
1867, a few decades after France lost us to GB. Money. We have more of it
per habitant that the rest of Canada. We would be richest thasn you.
As for your political ties with the federal govt, that's exactly what we
want to cut. And the economy? Do you know about the Euro? Talks are
already started on the adhesion of Quebec in the european union. France is
already pushing on other countries to help us be recognized as a sovereign
country the day after we win the referendum. Latest informations leaking
from France says we will not encounter any resistance, except, of course,
from US, GB and Canada. Big surprise!
It's obvious you know nothing about the history of Quebec. Stop arguing
about it then and accept the fact that I'm not Canadian but Québécois.
I am patriotic. At the Olympics, I root for Québécois athletes. Canadians?
I don't root for other countries, would it be Canada, US, Litchtenstein or
Lituania. But as I said, I don't hate them. I'm just not attached to them
in any way.
About the "separatist" movement, we are at least a strong 30% of hard
soverainist. By hard, I mean that we would rather separate and suffer
terrible consequences (which won't happen since it's a good move to
separate) than to pledge alliegence to your Country.
Vive le Québec Libre! Someday, our group that got 49% in 1995 will have
60%+ and Canada will regret not having treated us fairly over the past 2
centuries.
It is inevitable. And the best part? You don't get to say a word about it
because we will choose for ourselves, Canada won't decide for us.
