of you course you do right now. But if Quebec separates what currency are you going to pay them in? My understanding is that Ted Moses agreed and signed based on Quebec staying in canada and NOT separating.

Quebec, contrary to what many Quebecois think, gets more money from Confederation than it gives. When you add in all the direct federal spending this number increases. In each of the referendums this has been a major factor in keeping Quebec in Confederation. On the other hand Quebec is hungrier for provincial power than any other province except Alberta.

Lets talk about Immigration too.

Quebec has an unprecedented control over it?s own immigration. (A policy which is ridiculous, since once in Canada and past the first period immigrants can move anywhere.

I think Canadian's in general are hungrier for more provincial powers. I personally don't see why the Feds collect all this money only too pass it along to another level of government who in turn passes it along again.
Why do the Feds pay the provinces money for health care? I've never been to a federally run Hospital or doctors office. Let the province you live in collect the taxes for this. Same thing with National Daycare; let the province you live in decide if thats what they want and then collect the taxes for it. Same thing for the gas taxes and on and on and on. The Feds have stuck their fngers into too many local juridictions.

CDSmith · 04-21-2005, 01:52 PM

Most of you webmasters who are french and support separatism are in your 20's, maybe a few in your 30's and the odd one older than that. The only reason you are separatists is because your parents were separatists.

The federals collect the money to give to the queen, imagine the bitch has her face on the canadian money, the only countries like that was Irak under sadam's regime and couple monarchies like jordania, morocco etc...

why her face is on the canadian money?? and why canada don't have a President like USA or france?

I know that Landry was an admitted separatist during his campaign, but how much of his platform was based on forming a sovereign nation?

Why do Separatists feel that they are the only province that gets screwed by Ottawa?

You know that most of the western provinces feel that you get extra special attention from the Feds and lots of Extra money that they don't?

Fact is Quebec does get extra attention and also awarded contract to Quebec companies, in effort to appease the whiners.

Notice the least little infraction perceived by separatists as being against Quebec and they are quick to start howling at the moon.

I agree with you. Decentralization of power is neccesary. It is too bad that Quebec wants to separate to acomplish this goal rather than working with the rest of the provinces.

Since decentralization means a new role and status for Provinces, as many groups as possible should participate in designing and implementing decentralization. At the very least, the opinions and positions or each group should be considered in planning decentralization.

Your attitude is the type that makes be lean on the separation side. And when I change or forget, there is always another TED WINTERS to remind me .... JE ME SOUVIENS.

Precisely.. Quebec exports Natural Resources... Wanna bet Canada will tariff them at the borders?

As for 'owning part of all ports and airports', do you really think that will stand when Quebec walks away from it's portion of Canadian debt?? (As is currently planned)...
Unfortunately, you can use the St. Lawrence river to ship all your exports out, cause it's iced over 6 months of every year....
So, you'll have to truck 'em to the coast...

Now, in terms of 'government' already existing, just imagine how much work will have to go in to creating your own post office!! There's so many little things like that..
The US won't want you using the US dollar, as it'll change their money supply... you'll need to either continue using Canada's. or creat your own.. And of course, if Canada doesn't want to let you, you can't 'just use it', without facing even more sanctions!!

It's only going to get worse. Back in the 1970's when the PQ took office they began their 'cultural training' by rewriting history books and other ' educational materials' so that no good Quebecois child would ever grow up without learning how much they have been victimized by the big bad english canadians.

Baghdad Bob would be very proud!

tedwinters · 04-21-2005, 02:10 PM

Decrentalization won't work..
Well, it would, and it would leave a HUGE disparity...
Under income equalization payments, 9 of the 12 provinces RECEIVE money, where's as 3 of the provinces pay money..
Quebec RECEIVES the most!! $4.2 billion a year....
What does that say about Quebec's economic feasability???
The Quebec economy is bloated... Too many unions, too many rules..

The roads are horrendous, hospital care is a nightmare, social programs are the pits...
All governments are crooks... That's hardly a valid argument for separation...

IMHO, It just seems like this is a plan thats going backwards. European Countries are uniting to create a stronger economy and to have a more prominent role in the world. Instead of moving forward, we are going regressing. Less power on the world stage, a weaker economy and isolating ourselves. We are headed towards being the next Honduras

My family comes from Eastern Canada. My dad and his family tree are straight out of Montreal, my mom's side is from N. Ontario by way of New Brunswick. And who said I was "federalist"? Manitoba has it's own provincial government too, but before being a Toban I am a Canadian first and formost, as you too should be.

Fact is a good half of Quebec's population does NOT want ot separate, and those peoples comprise a full 75% or more of Quebec's land mass. Just what kind of "new country" do you think you would be starting?

The answer is still no.

I got to say that Decentralization is not a good idea. Once we do that we create a beaucratic nightmare and stall the entire country in a paperwork mess gone wild. Thats going to hit the economy in sooo many bad ways.

New rules will be made and rules upon rules with added regulations. I agree that there needs to be more power given to the provinces but they need to have better definition of what their powers are.

If you ask me the biggest thing wrong with federalism and seperatism is.

1. There are no commoners in the house of commons. Most politicians are so out of touch with their constituants it isn't even funny.

For the most part it is just a bunch of rich baby-boomers that have no clue what it is to have to buy no-name brand macroni and cheese because kraft dinner is too expensive. Or go to the Bulk Barn and just get the powedered kraft cheese. They don't know what the concept is to be an working Canadien/Canadian

2. Too much curtailing to the corporate big wigs. It's this "you wash my back and I'll wash yours" crap that leads to things like the sponsorship scandal and idiots like Harper and Stronach that want to turn our country into the 51st state.

3. Too much party line crossing. This is just an example of what I was saying that ulitimately they are all friends. All the politicians are just being self-serving and looking out for their individual interests. My initial argument still stands that the Parti Quebecois does not truly want seperatism and the Federalists are in no hurry to put their buddies out of a job.

Funny, from my perspective it is in fact your argument that is rife with sophism.

At present the Quebec separatists are viewed by the rest of Canada as whiners mostly. If you people keep on with your bullshit and end up further harming this country I predict you will become viewed as cancer.

Your parents have programed you to think of Quebec as a country. The cancer is perpetuated.

And stop trying to compare our situation to that of Europe. How can anyone in their right mind not see that Europe is comprised of distinctly SEPARATE countries who are now choosing to collaborate and unite economically to become a stronger world presence, whereas Canada and ALL of it's provinces and territories is ONE country, of which about half the population of one such province is attempting to divide us which WILL result in all of us becoming a much weaker presence on the world market.
