balljoint, USA IS a republic, with a democratic approache..
Canada is not purely democratic, but it's one of the closest to it, at least amongst the most democratic ones..
CD compare pears with pears..
you compare minorities of BC (like chinese and all) not fighting for their culture...
with french from Quebec...
well, french from quebec are the majorities there, hence why they fight to keep the majority in their own province, hence they need to fight to keep it amongst a english bassin...
why english from quebec don't whine? same reason why chinese from BC don't whine... not the mass...
it's just not demographically and socially the same. France brought the country up, we got conquered, french kept the pride of a country of old, hence they kept the language as the last reminescence of it. what makes a people different is what makes them proud. USA are proud of their independance for example. then you get the threat of having your people deprived from it... hence the social unrest that we are seing.

although the loss is clearly there from the democratic point of view, there is two things to notice here:
the radical seperatist DO whine for nothing IMHO
the people with opened eyes DO complain for a GOOD reason... that result clearly shows there is a HUGE political and Social unrest amongst the population, which has to be fixed.... this is clearly something to complain about... seperating is prolly not the answer, but there still is something to be done.

all I'm trying to show here is that there's always two sides to the medal... while you see french whine for nothing, they see you keep on trying to fuck us out of it...
I'm personally the type who likes to see the full spectrum before making my judgement...
as much as I can now be seen to try and protect my french heritage in arguments, I probably have done the same to say some stuff they do is wrong when talking with my seperatist (is is still one, I dunno) Father.
