I think in time, Canadians will realize the wiseness of our positions.  Often, they already do, they ask the Feds for the same thing we do.  But Canadians have this irrational fear&hatred of seperatists wich blinds them to everything.

That's why in a decentralized country, it doesn't matter.  The US is far more decentralized than Canada, btw.


They don't want to decentralize and they are the majority in this godsdam federation...   It's because of people like you we're stuck in limbo - not going anywhere and remaining under the thumb of foreigners.   <_<

Its this sort of thing that convinces me separatism is built on a lie.

I'm confused as to how Quebec would suddenly be 'free' if it left Canada. It would be largely dependent (/at the mercy of) on the two major powers around it.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Dont burst the bubble.  Grallon's raison d'etre depends on it.

It is, it was. It's the time period between the Act of Quebec & the end of la grande noirceur.

Is that why people like Viper have to find obscure media postings in comment sections of online papers to become enraged.  It is also why Grallon needs to endlessly rant about how the rest of Canada does not like Decentralization based on nothing then his blind faith that his position is in the right?

Grey Fox

I cannot explain Grallon, I don't understand him anymore than you do.

Viper just sees every action by a government to be bad. He's right wing like that. Well, that's my theory.

Hell it would actually be more under the thumb of foreigners. :lol:

Harper to prorogue Parliament again: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2013/08/19/pol-harper-commons-prorogation.html

I guess at this point, prorogation is at the "standard procedural manoeuvre" level.

crazy canuck

As stated before, there is no magic in Prorogation.  Its just that when Harper does it, its teh evil

Maximus

It's because of the hidden agenda.

I don't think you need to deploy the "it's teh evil" and "hidden agenda" counter battery fire yet :)

One would expect Harper to be pro rogue.

Globe&Mail and National Post are obscure media now?
