Separatism and you

[Barrister]

No option for Western Canadian Independence?!?

I think there are more cases than that.  Democratic countries, to stay democratic, have to not have divisions that trump all else.  If there are such divisions, then politics inside that country becomes zero-sum total war.  In that case it would be to the benefit of everyone in the country to separate into more homogeneous blocks rather than have to endure perpetually festering internal problems.

The question was who do you sympathize with. I have no sympathy for groups that create divisions that trump all else on an ethnic or nationalistic basis. The ideal is to get rid of such groups, not reward them.

Sometimes things are what they are, regardless of what you think they should be.

But that wasn't the question.

I'm sure the First Nations would appreciate it.

[The Brain]

What is the question.

What is the question.

No, I think it's who.

Not sure Cascadia would take Alberta anyhow.

[Razgovory]

I just don't know if an independent Quebec would be positive.

PS: funny how a Batavian forgot about Flanders/Belgium/Wallonia. 

I didn't forget, but I thought it wasn't quite the same as the others as it would make the original country disappear entirely.
Although maybe not so different from Bosnia actually.

And yes, I was born in Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum  :juliuscivilis:

Québec because multiculturalism

I hope you're joking!  Multikulti is a fucking cancer - anywhere it spreads!

Multikulti

It sounds like it's time for Grallon to assimilate into the dominant Canadian culture.

[Eddie Teach]

Multikulti

Sounds like a terrible metal band.
