Maybe this will explain why some Canadians on here have such an interest in the well being of our great neighbour.

02-26-2010 12:29 AMwow... I like how you put everyone from Quebec in the same boat
edit : sorry, I wanted to go see Rochette skating, and because i do not want this thread to change from its original subject, I tried to keep everything in the same post. Do people really hate us that much? I know there is a minority of people from quebec that want to separate... but on two different votes they lost. There must be a lot more than this to embarass all the other good canadians... I'm sure you have more experience than I do to be able to tell this, and you're probably 2/2,5 times older than me, so it must count. I just wanted to say, I was a bit shocked to see this tonight, and didn't know we were that bad.
p.s. sorry if my english is a bit hard to understand sometimes, I'm one of the embarassment and French is what we talk at home.

Im not sure which is worse......a political party started (in Quebec) in which its sole purpose is to break up the country OR a country so effed up it actually allows such a party to exist......do you think a party like this would be allowed in the States????.....if some State wanted to separate from the US the ringleaders would be probably charged with treason and be thrown in jail and or assassinated......
and the separatists lost on two votes to separate.....until when????......the next vote?......are we just going to keep having votes until they win???.....how many votes do you get????.....and for a "minority" the Party Quebecois sure holds a lot of seats.

I know that Nick and Alec meant no disrespect. I am sorry that you were made to feel bad. Like any stereotype, I understand when you say it doesn't fit all.
I think that the guy from Ontario and the guy from Florida were just playing. Alec had done some smack talk about the US/Canada game, and I think that the Quebec jokes were a diffusion from the smack talk. Common "enemy" and all that. I know that they would not have wanted to offend anyone.
I think that the stereotype of a French speaking, elitest, separatist Quebec is fairly prevalent in the US. Probably not any more so than the stereotype of the "ugly american" english speaking idiot in Quebec.
When I hear how my countrymen are sometimes perceived it bothers me. I am sure that these Quebec comments upset you and I hope that you understand that we are not an anti-Quebec place and people will take your feelings to heart.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

John
My comments arent directed at individual people , of course.
And my pure hate of what we Canadians put up with is as much directed at our federal government as much as Quebec itself for even ALLOWING a province to have a vote to secceed this country.
The good people of the USA would put up with this situation for one millisecond and riot in the streets.
To have a leader of a province stand up and berate a country that feeds them cherries to keep their mouths shut makes me puke.
I cant imagine how the USA would put up with having to listen to a foreign language everytime a formal announcement was made.
With french spoken first.
You know how much I get upset with the polarization of Democrat / Republican comments on here.
Well pretend EVERYONE in Quebec was a DEMOCRAT and voted and acted like Nancy Pelosi.
Have you got that vision in your mind ??????????
I despise their existence.
