Per Capita.  Pfft.  Don't gimme that, that's a shoddy statistic to use, particularly with less people in the Northwest Territories than the capacity of the SkyDome, compared to 7.9M Quebecois.

Not all of them are Quebecois though.  Remember, an independent Quebec is going to lose a lot of anglos, either to immigration or to genocide, and the natives are unlikely to participate in their experiment, as a poor country like Quebec would give them less in the way of bribes.

Pfft.  Did you see how fast Charest crumbled to a handful of student protestors?

Imagine how many "bribes" they'll give natives when every reserve turns into an Ipperwash or an Akwesasne.

Bah, the United States of America would welcome and support our newly emancipated French brothers to the north, an ample and capable partner in NAFTA, harkening back to a friendship forged together in revolution.

The rest of your provinces could petition for US statehood per the requirements outlined in the United States Constitution and be happy, well-cared for members of the National Park Service.

Not sure why any Canadian would want to take that kind of hit to their quality of life.

Seems unlikely.  Why would we want to be poor?

That would be an ingenious solution to the political impasse on Crete...
:hmm: Do you mean Cyprus?

Yeah, I was wondering that also - but in any event Venice can also solve that problem by reoccupying that Island.

Will they seize the Dalmatian coast? Will they be ready for the Aztec onslaught?

More importantly, will they loot Istanbul?

I want to know whether they will retake Crete

:frusty:

Can't believe no one called me on this.  I confused Crete with Cyprus.

Greece can probably use being annexed, mind. Latin Empire ftw.

Given Lettow's recent dabbling with visual impairment, it's little surprise that his next 'enthusiasm' should be for all things Venetian.    :hmm:

I like his timing. :D

I'll admit that I looked up Crete (as I was like that's not the island I know has issues), saw nothing and went meh. -_-

The EU should support this. Divide and conquer. :ph34r:

I honestly noticed my own mistake and posted my own correction before I saw your post.   :blush:
