Quebec Election Thread

It's very silly to tell people to their face that you actually take absurd stereotypes seriously - much less that you are basing your whole political world-view on it. 

Well, it's Grallon's point of view.  It's not like he's the only one with a stereotyped view.  We may all be guilty, if only a little of that.

We lose stuff we already had while the provinces negotiate a seperate agreement with the Feds instead of sticking to the current deal, but that's not enough for you. 

What stuff did you lose that you already had?

Well, lets put it this way - everyone is to an extent guilty of believing in stupid stereotypes. Not everyone proudly announces the fact that they believe such stuff to be true, however; and it takes a special kind of stupid to proudly announce they believe such stuff to be true right in the faces of the people he's stereotyping.

Of course, this being Languish, that type of stupid is par for the course. Just to fit in, from now on I'm basing by stereotyped view of people from Quebec on - Grallon.

veto right, as indicated by you... though it was denied by the Supreme Court, since it was not written.  Tradition can only get you so far, I guess.

As federalism moves on, it is clear that it moves in a way to favor the central government, not the provinces.  This is the biggest problem with Canada, it is way too centralised.

but we're not all gay!

btw, I don't dislike Don Cherry.  He's a loud mouth, he's... eccentric to say the least, but most of the bad stuff about him is overblown.  He just happens to like hockey fight and think it should be part of the game.  I actually respect that, even if I disagree.  What I don't respect is Quebec's journalist saying they hate this, that it only brings dangerous hit, while at the same time cheering for fights and pressuring the Canadiens' coach to get an "enforcer" (aka goon).  I can't stand hypocrisy.

Also, I never understoond why I'm supposed to agree with 100% of whatever a TV/radio hosts says when I listen to him.  It seems impossible for many for just enjoy the good moments, apparently.

Need I remind you that Oex left this place in part because of this... chronic display of bad faith when it comes to the subject of Quebec's nationalism?  Or perhaps you count him among the stupid too?

Oex left? Just like a quebecer, throwing a hissy fit and seperating


seriously though, he left? i like Oex

[Capetan Mihali]

I've seen Oex poke his head up in a thread here and there, but he has stopped posting for the most part.  And I think Grallon is generally right about the immediate reason for that.

Fuck Quebec.  If they wanted to run their own affairs as they wished using the money of more successful peoples, they should have won the war.

If he has left, it was due to frustration with debates held around here, but not specifically surrounding Quebec.

My recollection is that the proximate cause was a debate about Quebec, but I may be mistaken.

He's a god damn senile idiot but not because on his opinions on Hockey. It's the other stuff that takes the cake.

Seriously, the metric system is "commie stuff"?

[Ed Anger]

yes.

Nah, just you. On the subject of English Canada.  I mean seriously, you insult the whole rest of the country in your post and now *you* are the victim? Get real.

I like Oex, but he was perhaps too sensitive for this place.  And anyway, last time I had a multi-post battle with him it was about native Canadians, not Quebec nationalism.

Anyone who dresses like he does should be shunned on principle.
