Well, as I said, go 1 point at a time!!!!
To refute some of your points:
Quote:

1: A vote for federalism is a vote for status quo
|
-Here's the thing, if you vote separatist, nobody knows which way it'll go, separatism DOES have chance to be even WORSE that status quo... (As I FIRMLY believe, and have explained in MANY other posts...)
In fact, instead of wasting money on referendums, political bullying, etc, the separatists should be donating money to rural Quebec... It would definately be a better expenditure of money, and would probably swing more votes from the federalists...
Additionally, as other federalists mentioned, it's just not feasible to build a $100 million dollar hospital in the middle of rural Quebec - this is something that tax dollars alone can't manage... For example, look at the plights of various First Nations bands in Alberta - upon turning 18, many indians are given $100,000 to do with as they wish..
In addition to this, they're provided with free university, highly subsidized farming and vehicle purchasing, yet conditions are still abyssmal...
Chances are, separatism would lead to a worsening of conditions in rural Quebec, in the very least, for the next 10-15 years as the entire political climate is changed...

2. History and experience demonstrates that those with money do even better in improvished areas.
|
Right above, in your first post, you mentioned how you wanted things to change for rural Quebec.... Yet, why aren't you there filming your hardcore porn??? What you just mentioned is circular logic.... Two counter-intuitive points that seemingly negate each other...
I guess I'll put it this way... Instead of filming in Rural Quebec, where you'd be contributing to the local economy, and helping out in your own way, you'd rather have Montreal suffer economically so that you can film here, and furthur ignore the plights of your neighbours???
I do agree that voting for separatism will probably lead to you having cheaper production costs... but then I wonder why you don't go into the rural areas, and get even LOWER production costs... instead of hurting millions of people, help thousands by infusing money into their failed economy...
now... what other points would you like me to try and refute.. feel free to comment on what I've posted..
