it's true about alberta bringing most of Canada's cash to it...
Same as Quebec... In fact, I believe that in a couple ywears you'll see alberta and Quebec Unify to centralize their power to their own government, just like Quebec has been trying for the last few years... discussions have already started I believe.
Why would quebec use the canadian money, shall they get their independance? why do Europe are trying to get their own currency? currencies are tricky, and it's hard to base a new political trust in a currency over the countries. seperatists want to save their language, and they wanna be the ones taking care of their schools, their health care, etc...... because thwey live in that situation, and know how to take care of it best...
if the government (canada) would give away thos epowers, then those still complaining about seperation would be fools.
as far as the law about the language, 1.5X bigger and all....
Cd, where do you draw the line? I mean, 20 years ago, downtown was all english.... still today, you get served in english downtown most of the time, although french is the majority... without laws, this can easily deteriorates... they HAVE to draw the line... so, they put that 1.5X law... it might not be the right way to do it, but it's the way it is...
Just like drinking is 0.08 here.... I am still perfect at 0.12, I'M a big guy, and I can hold my alcool... but others can't... that's why it's there!
