#1 Yawn.

"The Parti Quebecois's surprisingly strong performance" was to be expected.

Whatever it takes to steal the money from productive parts of Canada and award it to themselves.

Just wait for the federal budget in January, the defeated government in May or June and the following election. Clarity coming. Everything west of the Ontario/Manitoba border teaching Quebec what "Separatism" really means.

#2 Everything west of the Ontario/Manitoba border teaching Quebec what "Separatism" really means.

Ya think? Ovis Canadensis is too a prevalent species that the Quebecois racket would continue unabated and no one will turn blue holding breath for Westerners to say "nuff!"

Gimme something tangible to believe utharwise.

#3 Addendum...

People are starting to accept and believe that the sucking sound coming from east is a natural phenomenon.

#4 I doubt you could get enough French Canadians sobered up long enough to vote this in.

#5 I'd say to the Canadian West, Join the USA, but seeing how things are going lately I understand their reluctance.

#6 Also, let 'em seperate. Cut off power, trade and blockade the rest. Then take them back on your terms.

#7 Hellfish, that is the most Machiavellian thing I have heard this month.

I love it!

#8 Careful, Hellfish, Quebec provides a lot of electricity to the American northeast. We don't want things to be too frisky up there ...

#9 Steve, I wouldn't be surprised to find that a lot of folk at RB would willingly trade the NE US for the west of Canada.

Unfortunate for people like me that live in places like MA but bleed red.

On another topic....
Of New England weather Mark Twain said that if you didn't like it wait a minute or walk a mile.

At my house: Mon 10pm 12 F, Tue 10 pm 49 F; now 57 F, tomorrow snow & freezing rain.

Yep, normal weather for this time of year.

#11 Quebec provides a lot of electricity to the American northeast.

Most of Quebec (~80%), is Cree and other 1st nations (f.e. Mohawk) territory, and these electricity producing facilities are in it. If Quebec separates, they'd separate from it, being anglophone, and likely join rest of Canada. So instead of Hydro Quebec, NEUS may be doing biz with Hydro Cree. That is all to it.

#12 tu3031 . . . . That's the GREATEST!!

It's a wonder that the Human Rights Commission hasn't been all over that one. But I'll be emailing it along to all my friends anyway.
