ummm, doesn't the opening sentence (The idea of sovereignty for Quebec is based, according to its proponents, . . ) make it an opinion?

Done correctly, this should pretty much make the seperation issue a non-issue for the next few years.

Bingo.

Hey, if the indians are canada's "First nation" as they're refered to, what will the French Quebecers be.... Second nation? :D

viva celebs · 11-23-2006, 03:23 PM

first they make you change the canadian flag because it offends them, and now they dont even want to be part of your country

never give the french an inch

Everyone in Montreal know you don't go to a major department store if you want to be pampered. It as nothing to do with language.

Amen!

I also find it funny that all these people bashing us to apparently be 'rude' when I keep seeing people constantly bash each other on this board and its mostly not French people.

Also this thread was suppose to be good news for us, but noooooooooo. They have to bash us and insult us and then after they expect us to welcome them with open arms and then we are called the 'rude people'. From what I am concerned it is only anglophone people that brought the generalized insults on us in the first place in this thread which some are close to nazi comments. I find this very disturbing.

if it helps, if Texans started acting as if they were Gods gift to the planet and were incredibly rude to everyone else in their own country, acted superior and treated others rudely... then started going further to demand everything be in Spanish and that they should seperate from the country, forming their own independent state or republic... the rest of the US would hate them too and consider them to be a bunch of whiny pricks whose general views are treasonous.

fetishblog · 11-23-2006, 04:50 PM

That's funny. I don't see Quebec on this list:

http://www.un.org/Overview/unmember.html

I guess they aren't a nation to anyone but themselves. I don't remember hearing anything about Quebec seceding from Canada, which means they are still a state. or whatever they are called.

What you just said is totally irrelevent to what I just said. Im talking about being racist to people that speaks another language. Any person that is a fascist in a political and/or religious way is a major prick. I AM NOT TALKING POLITICS. The people I know LIVE WITH AND WORK WITH do not act like you just described above. If you prefer to think otherwise go ahead. Your title 'i live in this thread' really does suit your level of experience with human beings btw. Quite pathetic.

This whole arguement will be moot in a decade or so, my gf works for customs and immigration, and I've seen their directives. Pretty soon quebec will be a nation of indian or pakistani heritage, and vancouver will be an asian nation.

I'm surprised no one has brought up bill 101 in here yet.
For those that don't know, the political party in QB actually passed a law making it illegal to advertise your products or services (among other things) unless it was in french. English is allowed, but in small percentages.

Now why would you ask would a government need to do such a thing? To protect it's language. French was dying out, the people were choosing english and if french died, how could the political parties use their language as justification for unique and preferential status in canada?

you haven't made any sense or made an arguement yet except to try to piece together a very weak picture of everyone else being racist and ultra fascists because you speak french. thats retarded. you have to result to extreme language, drama and make it all about something else, because the sad truth seems to be that you don't really seem to have a good and defensible argument.

and if you are going to butcher the english language and start throwing inflamatory language into the mix like "racist" to hide the fact that you have no real arguments, at least make sure you know what the word means. a language is not an ethnic group. a language is not a race. a group of snotty assholes however, can be an ethnic group that share the same language.

huey · 11-23-2006, 05:24 PM

Look like it's that time again.

3 Canadians are walking along the beach.
One from BC one from Quebec and one from Newfoundland.
They see a Geenies lamp and rub it an puff out pops the Geenie.

The Geenie say I will grant each one of you a wish.
The Newfoundlander says well I wish for the fisheries on the east coast to be like it was a 100 years ago. Pff they can see millions of cod swimming from the beach.
Impressed the Quebecer says I would like a wall a 100 feet high to wrap around the entire province of Quebec to seperate us.
Pff there is a wall around all of Quebec.
The Geenie asks the man from BC what his wish will be, more lumber more fish get rid of the pine beatles?
The man from BC asks, is that wall around Quebec water tight. The Geenie says yes ofcourse.
The man from BC says FILL IT!

"English Only" laws having been passed in several states.

BTW, the State of Florida has sent three times delegations to Quebec to study the application of our language laws .... they can"t even write their own ....

Did you actually read that? Close to nazi comments? Do you actually KNOW that part of history? Saying what you did is a slap in the face of those that went through that period in history.

French people are self absorbed. I am Canadian. When I walk into a store in my Canadian, English speaking city I expect to be served and I expect to be treated politely. I also expect that if a French speaking person enters that same store they are to be treated exactly the same as the way I am treated.

The same goes for Quebec. It does not matter WHAT language a person speaks they should be treated properly. Just because many people do not agree with the attitude and apparent constant NEEDS of the French does NOT entitle them to treat the English speaking population with disrespect...not when OUR money gets filtered into your province and your economy.

Oh, and before you start spouting off at the mouth again....both my first and maiden name is VERY french, because my grandparents were french and barely spoke english...so it is not just the 100% English people that think you all need a spanking....those of french heritage think you need a rude awakening.
I do not have a problem with people in Quebec having French as their mother tongue, but if my kids are forced to learn French to accommodate your whiney asses, then I fully expect everyone Quebec to learn English.

oh, and before you whine about your little old feelings getting hurt by those nasty english posters....your post was not exactly nice too....so if you can dish it out baby...you better be able to take it.

EXACTLY - what with immigration happening - french is NOT the second language anymore... far from it. chinese, pakistan or indian as you mention are (if not already) taking over as the official second language. Quebecers are going to get so pissed when that little bit of truth comes out.

their province also is including many immigrants so eventually that will be taken over. Whats going to happen when they are the 4th most spoken language behind everyone else?

fuck you you french piece of shit, seriously you will still whine for albertas #, all your relatives are on welfare and i would love for you to seperate so you have to support them.

fuck you, stupid frenchy. seriously FUCK YOU. hahaha

Fuck QUEBEC you are not canadian in the firstplace, people look down on canada due to the french, this nation would be 1000x better without you.

no one likes the whiny, lazy frenchmen, which equals quebec, please seperate, you will still whine to canada for money, useless frenchies, i cannot wait, get the fuck out.

You people are fucking morons...you better stay put or get run over by the next Bush that gets elected.

French people are not morons, they are just the most lazy people on earth, they do not work, they eat poutine and drink wine all day, that is why a working man like myself has to pay for them.

can't you ask the americans to bomb Quebec, so I don't have to hear the same shit every 5 years
It might be better if Canada just cut Quebec off totally, then went in after a few years to shoot the few starving survivors in the head. Stupid, cowardly, traitorous Frenchies.

French people and those who have the French mindset - a mistake, a cockroach on a dingleberry on the ass of humanity.

Send all the Quebecois to live in the Banlieus (sp) of Paris to fight it out with the jihadis who currently live there. Whoever wins gets a cookie.

I trully dont see what's wrong with standing for myself. If these kindof things would've been said about Black people it would've been deleted or fought for alot more.

If you still agree with these comments FUCK YOU. And I'll stick to what I have said earlier this IS similar to nazi comments. Maybe you should open a history book as well.

I dont give a flying fuck about hater's stupid random whore-comments but I do give a shit when it goes that far as ANYBODY would if it concerned them. The only difference is that Im standing up for myself and my people and trully, I dont see what's wrong with that.

RawAlex · 11-24-2006, 01:20 PM

The local french news radio (690) did a poll... did you find Mr Harper's idea "interesting" or something to that effect... result was 68% said yes.

Now 68% is reasonably high, but it is sampling only french speakers for the most part. Applied over the whole population (francophone, anglophone, and allophone) I would suspect the numbers would come up around 75%.

It would be so surprising to say that Steven Harper single handedly took the wind out of the seperatist sails. This could have a very large impact on the next provincial election if the Charest Liberals come out in support of this... it looks like a solution that appeals to the voters, and might leave the PQ high and dry once again.

Bryan G · 11-24-2006, 02:44 PM

This thread is too funny.....It's not one sided both are equally as bad as each other. I am English and I've had many many run ins with very rude Frenh people...for example.....1) Trying to order food in English at a fast food restaurant and being told to speak French.....2) Trying to get into a NightClub at a skiing resort and the doorman letting all the frenh people who were behind us in first (and no there was no guest list)

As I said though it goes both ways so I don't really give two fucks.

lol, people make racist comments about blacks and jews all the time and don't get banned.

L0stMind · 11-24-2006, 03:47 PM

As a guy born and raised in BC, I don't fully understand the Quebec separation sentiment. I've been sent to a few french only links in the past, which don't help me very much. Unfortunately, high school french allows me to read menu's and maybe order food in french and that's about it.

I'd really like to get an honest and full explanation for why so many people in Quebec want to separate... it just seems so extreme. Canada is a country full of people from different ethnic backgrounds and that is what makes us great.

My family has been in Canada for 14 generations. Our roots are predominantly Scottish and English. Try telling me that I am not a minority. Ask me how much it bothers me? Personally, I think it's great that we are assimilating so many peoples and cultures and traditions into our own and creating something entirely new and better then before.

As for the rude people comments... come on. I've experienced rude people in EVERY place I have visited and I have been to quite a few. I've had very rude service at a Japanese starbucks... I still think Japanese people are one of the most polite people on the planet. My visits to Hong Kong expose me to "mei yo" so often, but I don't think all Chinese people are rude...

In Montreal, tbh, I had some very excellent service from people who couldn't speak much english... and I can't speak much french at all.

I love Montreal. I loved the culture, the people, the food... I still don't understand the need to stop being Canadian because you speak french... It just doesn't make sense to me.

stev0 · 11-24-2006, 04:04 PM

I get tired of the bitchy French people in Quebec... Quebec would fall on its ass if it wasn't for the rest of Canada... we support them with our equalization payments and all they do is complain about loosing their "culture" and how they want to seperate.

Oh good grief, this is GFY, you get idiots like that in ever thread. If you take things like that to heart, then GFY is not a place you should be posting.

And actually, although I do not live in Quebec, my family IS french, and no, I do not take offense to it. I find the French people who are so for seperating to be so narrow minded. I am for ALL of Canada...regardless of whether you are black, white or purple. I don't care if a person is Catholic, Buddist, or Jewish. I couldn't care less if they spoke Indian, Italian, French or English. Canada is a melting pot, that is a GOOD thing. Each race, each religion, each culture should celebrate what makes them special, but they should also celebrate being part of this great country called CANADA. Therein lies the problem. Many in quebec can't see past their nose..they can't see anything BUT Quebec....BUT the french....and that pisses the rest of us off. You are part of a whole, whether you like it or not...there is more to this country than Quebec....and you are NO MORE important than the Arabic people across the street and the Italian people that live next door to me.

Here in my city, we have what is called Carrousel of the Nations. It would you good to fly out and catch it here, it might be an eye opener for you. What is it? Well for a couple of weekends, tons of differnt cultures celebrate their heritage and have areas set up. For instance at the Greek one you will find Greek dancers, food, clothing and events. You find polish, caribbean, czech, italian etc. Streets are blocked off...and thousands spend a couple of weekends going from one culture to another. Soaking up their music, their food, their culture and having a BLAST. Yes, we even have a French one. It teaches you that we are more than individuals, we are part of something very special. I can go the the Italian area, dance in the streets, have Italians hugging and kissing me...eat their amazing food....they celebrate their uniqueness, but at the same time, they celebrate it with ME.

In Quebec, there are so many closed minded people, that think that it is only important for the French to perserve their culture...that if they cut themselves off that somehow they will preserve what they love. It is by opening yourselves up to others that are not french that you preserve it. It is by celebrating who you are with others, and with your family and community that keeps your culture strong...not by trying to wall yourselves up and hating everything that is not French.

You are special, but no more special than anyone else....and until Quebec gets that thru their heads there will continue to be problems.

Only downside is, you have to read the crap they write and it's all a waste of time.

You noticed how many mentally deficient members there are on GFY? That's got to be a world record for any "club". The net side of the adult biz has obviously been taken over by clueless rejects from another planet.

Have a nice day Canada

Doubt the GFY opinion will be of any concern to ya

And actually, although I do not live in Quebec, my family IS french, and no, I do not take offense to it. I find the French people who are so for seperating to be so narrow minded. I am for ALL of Canada...regardless of whether you are black, white or purple. I don't care if a person is Catholic, Buddist, or Jewish. I couldn't care less if they spoke Indian, Italian, French or English. Canada is a melting pot, that is a GOOD thing. Each race, each religion, each culture should celebrate what makes them special, but they should also celebrate being part of this great country called CANADA. Therein lies the problem. Many in quebec can't see past their nose..they can't see anything BUT Quebec....BUT the french....and that pisses the rest of us off. You are part of a whole, whether you like it or not...there is more to this country than Quebec....and you are NO MORE important than the Arabic people across the street and the Italian people that live next door to me.

Here in my city, we have what is called Carrousel of the Nations. It would you good to fly out and catch it here, it might be an eye opener for you. What is it? Well for a couple of weekends, tons of differnt cultures celebrate their heritage and have areas set up. For instance at the Greek one you will find Greek dancers, food, clothing and events. You find polish, caribbean, czech, italian etc. Streets are blocked off...and thousands spend a couple of weekends going from one culture to another.

You are quite right ...

On the other hand, the USA is , for quite a few years, less of a meltingpot...

I can see one day ( if I am still alive ...) California and Florida revendicating similar rights and status that Quebec does now.

A mosaic is a beautiful piece of art. What a shame it would be if one of the pieces were missing, broken off in anger, trying to be the most important piece, not understanding that the importance was the entire artwork, not each individual piece that gave it its beauty.

That's hilarious. They can't even run their own province without their people starving, living in shacks and still requiring outhouses in the rural areas and stuck on welfare. Yet they want to be known as a nation? Ok.. is there a French word for Ethiopia? Maybe they can use that as a name for their "Nation" too. lol

If Quebec ever did separate from Canada they would be the world's biggest whining pack of cry babies seeking the world's aid to help feed them and keep them warm. Less time whining about culture and "rights" and more time working and building a provincial economy would solve the issues, not gaining nation status in their stepping stone to separation. Cripes.. Newfoundland should take over the damn province.. at least they can support themselves.

Looks like Newfoundland cannot afford Quebec ... neither PE, NovaScotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba....

BTW, if Quebec is such a burden, why does Canadians want them to stay...

One from BC one from Quebec and one from Newfoundland. They see a Geenies lamp and rub it an puff out pops the Geenie. The Geenie say I will grant each one of you a wish. The Newfoundlander says well I wish for the fisheries on the east coast to be like it was a 100 years ago. Pff they can see millions of cod swimming from the beach. Impressed the Quebecer says I would like a wall a 100 feet high to wrap around the entire province of Quebec to seperate us. Pff there is a wall around all of Quebec. The Geenie asks the man from BC what his wish will be, more lumber more fish get rid of the pine beatles? The man from BC asks, is that wall around Quebec water tight. The Geenie says yes ofcourse. The man from BC says FILL IT! __________________ opinions are like assholes................. "They aren't after me, they are AFTER YOU! Im just in their way" -D.J. Trump

For those that don't know, the political party in QB actually passed a law making it illegal to advertise your products or services (among other things) unless it was in french. English is allowed, but in small percentages. Now why would you ask would a government need to do such a thing? To protect it's language. French was dying out, the people were choosing english and if french died, how could the political parties use their language as justification for unique and preferential status in canada?

RawAlex So Fucking Banned Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: In a house. Posts: 9,465	The local french news radio (690) did a poll... did you find Mr Harper's idea "interesting" or something to that effect... result was 68% said yes. Now 68% is reasonably high, but it is sampling only french speakers for the most part. Applied over the whole population (francophone, anglophone, and allophone) I would suspect the numbers would come up around 75%. It would be so surprising to say that Steven Harper single handedly took the wind out of the seperatist sails. This could have a very large impact on the next provincial election if the Charest Liberals come out in support of this... it looks like a solution that appeals to the voters, and might leave the PQ high and dry once again.

L0stMind Confirmed User Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: Vancity Posts: 1,681	As a guy born and raised in BC, I don't fully understand the Quebec separation sentiment. I've been sent to a few french only links in the past, which don't help me very much. Unfortunately, high school french allows me to read menu's and maybe order food in french and that's about it. I'd really like to get an honest and full explanation for why so many people in Quebec want to separate... it just seems so extreme. Canada is a country full of people from different ethnic backgrounds and that is what makes us great. My family has been in Canada for 14 generations. Our roots are predominantly Scottish and English. Try telling me that I am not a minority. Ask me how much it bothers me? Personally, I think it's great that we are assimilating so many peoples and cultures and traditions into our own and creating something entirely new and better then before. As for the rude people comments... come on. I've experienced rude people in EVERY place I have visited and I have been to quite a few. I've had very rude service at a Japanese starbucks... I still think Japanese people are one of the most polite people on the planet. My visits to Hong Kong expose me to "mei yo" so often, but I don't think all Chinese people are rude... In Montreal, tbh, I had some very excellent service from people who couldn't speak much english... and I can't speak much french at all. I love Montreal. I loved the culture, the people, the food... I still don't understand the need to stop being Canadian because you speak french... It just doesn't make sense to me. __________________ http://cashcore.com - Make Money. http://ezprovider.net - Hosting.
