New Referendum. (Canada)

[lars573]

Very intelligent comment lars573.

When i saw the topic, i say "ok another round of Quebec bashing". Counting the number of gun and comparing Quebec to Vietnam is so viril. There's extremist nuts on both side. Not only on the Separatist side.

You better believe it. One of them is in my own family, a great uncle on my fathers side. He belongs to an organization who reason d'etre is French hating. I can't remember the name but they want English to be the only offical language and Quebec nationalism to be stamped out.

If it wasnt of the corruption in Ottawa, the separatism would not be of actuality. Thanks to the great Liberal Party, the Saviors of the Canada, Separatism is gaining ground again ! But dont be scared Beirut, even if there's a referendum, it wont pass. So put a hold on your plan of destruction and have a beer on me !

From what I have seen many under 30 French Quebecouis don't want to seperate. Neither do the naturalized immigrent population in southern Quebec (mostly in Montreal). The naturalized immigrents especially I've heard comments from an Asian Indian that his parents fear the potential for racist oppression of non-French by seperatist leaders if Quebec ever seperated.

Not a slam or anything, but how could you stop them from seperating? Would the rest of Canada intervene militarily?

Well territorially Quebec is the largest province and it bisects the nation north/south. But as much of a third of it's population is from landed and naturalized immigrants as I said and they are mostly around Montreal again as I said. During the last referendum it broke down that southern urban Quebec wanted to be in Canada and northern rural Quebec wanted to seperate. But if Quebec did try and seperate it would in all likely hood touch off a civil war. Our only history of a terrorist group was in regards to Quebec independance. It was called the FLQ, the Quebec liberation federation (it sounds better in French). But that was in the 60's.

What? No, the rest of the Commonwealth on the order of Her Majesty the Queen. She (and we) is, after all, still in charge of Canada as it is a British Dominion...

Whoa whoa Mal no need to drag the Victory and the Warrior out of moth balls for a good old imperial war yet. This is Quebec seperatism, every time there is a big big government cluster f*ck like the sponsorship scandal Quebec seperatists beat the dead horse of independance.
