And yet, as I've tried to illustrate, a collapsed economy DOES affect rural Quebec...
Rural Quebec is not quite the wasteland you make it out to be.. there are SOME nasty areas, but, the majority are not without electricity...
Now, a collapsed economy will directly affect what little earning power they have.....

Reiteration and a circular argument are entirely two different things. A circular argument continues without a clear direction or point.

I have reiterated the above two statements several times and all my points and comments have been to support those two statements. Or directly to respond to comments of others.
Although you reiterate those same statements, you don't listen to our arguments and seldom try to refute them... We try to show you how a depressed economy will STILL hurt rural Quebec, especially those supported by farming, mining, etc...
It won't hurt the very BOTTOM of the barrel as much, but it will still hurt them

4. Although you are in the company of scholars you have admitted to not being one. It's like associating with auto-mechanics but still not being able to change your transmission oil. Perhaps in time you might learn a something from them but without direct study you will never be one of them.

5. I have NEVER made any argument about the economics. Save to say that if it does collapse I will most likely benefit and parts of rural quebec will be unaffected.

6. If you want to trade resumes and compare each other's background. Not a problem. I'm more than willing to meet with you in person and take this to a private level.
Nope, I have no PhD, Master's only... but I did spend entirely way too much time in school.. I believe I posted a link to my scholarly background...
Soooo.. if you really want a resume check, why not do it in public? If you want, I'll scan my degrees and certificates and post them on the weekend, or email them directly to you... But only if you do the same... (and prove that you have more than just undergrad degrees)

7. My perspective is different. Perhaps the sooner you comprehend this fact, the sooner you will cease claims that my arguments are circular.

You keep trying to debate me on economic factors and once again I have tried to not become engaged in those specifics and made it clear I don't give a shit about them.
Yet the economic factors determine the way of life for everbody throughout the province, including those in the lower echelons of life..
We've shown that rural care is a purely provincial matter, and that the PQ doesn't provide a level adequate to you, yet, you think that if the PQ had complete control, with $4 billion less income each year, they'd be able to care for rural Quebec MORE??
Not likely.. if anything, rural Quebec would be hurt even more....
