Quebec Where Boxing Still Lives

we're not gonna miss you. the national language of canadian is english. how many french cities you find in vancouver, alberta or manitoba? the maritimes? exactly. you want to be your own country? fine, quit sucking on our resources like a spoiled child and see how well you fare.

 

Great! I totally agree with what you just said.:good

 

good stuff, you're pretty reasonable:thumbsup

 

You live in Canada with a citizenship, you're a Canadian. I understand some concerns about loss of culture but separation isn't the answer. Be as inclusive as you want, add some protective measures, encourage pride in your identity but don't try and break the country up. Most people in Quebec see themselves as both Canadian and Quebecer and are proud of it. We aren't living in the ****ing 1800's anymore, how dire is the situation now that it would justify separation?

 

I've always been reasonable.:deal

 

Stats? More then 60% of francophones voted for the ''OUI'' in '95.

 

If you're going to bring stats into this how about ones that aren't from almost two decades ago. Separatism isn't as strong as it was in the 90's.

 

Historically ''separatism'' follows a cyclic patern. Sometimes it's high, sometimes it's low, but it very rarely drops under 40%.

 

You're talking about the city of Quebec or the province? Cause there's only one town in Quebec who cares about separation and it's Montreal.(Actually the half of the whole Quebec population)

99% of other cities in Quebec are filled with 98% of french speaker and most of us like me, doesn't give a poop about seperation.

But think a sec, if you would live in a city like Montreal, also if you would speak french and the first language of your province is French as well. How would you feel if your native language is slowly dying in the street with alot of people not speaking or even respecting your language?

I'm against separation but I understand the Montreal's situation. But the real problem like someone said above me it's about pride of speaking your own language. When french will realize that, they will realize that they don't need separation to fix the Montreal thing...

But we are far from the end of the road...

 

"the national language of canadian is english"
Canada is a bilingual country. Learn about your own constitution...


"how many french cities you find in vancouver, alberta or manitoba? the maritimes?"
1- Vancouver itself is a city, not a province. Of course we're not gonna find cities in a city...

2- New Brunswick is bilingual. There are French cities in Ontario. Manitoba was a French province in the early days, but was assimilated (something the English tried to do to Quebec too, BTW).


"you want to be your own country?"

Yes.

 

The question I ask myself is why wouldn't you try to learn french if you'd live in Montreal?:blood

 

1)canada is bilingual on paper, not in reality

2)congrats, you found a typo.

3)Every province is technically "bilingual". we learned french in schools and never once used it outside of montreal. there is no valid claim that any other province save quebec, except for very rare exceptions within certain regions, practices french

4)you guys want to be your own country and yet possess more electoral power and get more national resources than your output or population warrants. canada supports your province without you giving back to your country adequately or fairly. the reason seperation wouldn't work is you'd become a welfare state within weeks and most quebecers know that

 

never said i didn't know, or make the effort, to learn french. i love montreal, i love quebec, i hate the self entitled whiny seperatist attitude and complaints about english. we're an english country. if you want to practice the language of your province, feel free but we're an english speaking country

 

There's a troll in the house
