Can you guys stop comparing us to France, damn it. Fucking Anglos.

Because that is the alternative.

What Oex said.

[Grey Fox]

Because that is the alternative.

To what?

I am not Viper. I believe that English rule was 100% better then what a comparative French rule would have been. Plus you know, we would have ended up english anyway when Nappy would have sold us out.

I don't know about that part either, but your snipped out the most important part - it all would have gone to hell in a handbasket 50 years later when the Revolution and Nappy happened.

Nappy would have sold you to us though to keep the Brits out of North America.

Are we sure a French victory in the Seven Years War scenario would have resulted in everything else happening exactly the same though?  This is why alt history fails for me.

Well I fail to see how France winning the Seven Years War would prevent the French Revolution.

[crazy canuck]

The Constitution was drafted in one night to exclude Quebec

You have a point to make about the manner in which the Constitution Act 1982 came to be but this allegation is simply false.

[Valmy]

Well I fail to see how France winning the Seven Years War would prevent the French Revolution.

Hell a politically savvy Louis could have prevented the French Revolution.

Exactly.  So now, Quebec would be poor, unilingual English speakers who wouldn't enjoy any of the wealth or social protections of Canada.  An unequivocal disaster.

[garbon]

You are missing his point. He's questioning that "you" are old enough to have personally experoienced any of this.

Yes, it like if I complained about the treatment of black people today and cited slavery as a grievance.  People definitely do it - but they look odd.

[Neil]

Well I fail to see how France winning the Seven Years War would prevent the French Revolution.

Hell a politically savvy Louis could have prevented the French Revolution.

I think you're oversimplifying.

[Valmy]

I think you're oversimplifying.

Yeah?  Well I think you are over-complicating.

But seriously the personality and shortcomings of Louis did have a part to play.  If those had been different things, among many other factors, things would have been different

Sure, and if King Louis XVI had had a vagina instead of a penis, he would have been Queen Louisa.  So what?
