I think that I can say with utmost confidence that all canadians know that quebec has wanted to seperate for a long time now, should we let them leave? force them to stay?

The intial reason for the formation of the Dominion of Canada was to create a trans oceanic country and to put a stop to Manifest Destiny and US efforts to talk the western and unincorporated canada into joining the US.

Quebec leaving would splinter the nation and leave canada at the taking to be absorbed into the US piece meal. Definitely bad news.

that's just what I was thinking bodhi Canada would become a divided nation, and once qeubec leaves other provinces like alberta would want to leave (they've been at it sort'a for a while) until we would be just like we were in the first place just a bunch of colonies. also there is the threat that american would assume that we then would want to become apart of them just like in 1812

Why the fu[b][/b]ck can't the Bloc Quebequois just be charged with high treason and be done with it. Smiley: mad



That's a rhetorical question.

It's not the entire province. According to many polls it's mainly French Quebecers that want to seperate so that they can "Keep their diverse and unique culture".

Yet they also want our passports, money and free-trade.

Basically it would leave the Atlantic provinces cut off from Central and Western Canada and we'd likely turn into a economy of natural gass, fisheries and technology companies.

West of Ontario would be largely unchanged except for a very large Conservative movement in the prairie provinces.

Basically we'd be NeoAmerica and I'd become a terrorist trying to take out as many Quebecers as I could in retribution for destroying one of the best countries in the world.

No matter what happens, no Canadain Provinces will be joining the USA. We have enough kooks and we've gotten most of them to move to California where the earthquakes, fires, riots etc. get them. We do not need to have them to the top of us too.

The US would snap up Ontario and Alberta in a heart beat if given the chance. Probably NWT and Nunavat to in order to secure the rights to the North West passage.

(Warning, this post may be incomprehensive)

I'm a french from Quebec and I'm one of the rares ones to believe that separation just sucks.

Separating for the language? Come on! About 3 quarters of the people can't write a single sentence in french without doing at least 3 errors in it. It's just plain awful. Some high school students don't even know how to read faster than 10 pages a day. And they plan on saving their language by separating? Yeah, right... I, for one, will be moving to US if Quebec ever becomes a country.

P.S.: About the part where France says to learn french....they use more english words and don't use correct pronounciation.

At least when we talk about our politics you people give a rat's sorry *** because it effects you. No one, least of all Canadians, is effected by Canadian politics. Let it go.

Maybe a joint separatist movement can be acheived to separate Quebec from Canada, and NY/NE and possibly California from the conservative US. I've always found it odd that North America was comprised of 3 large countries, when most other continents were broken up into many individual nations.

I do live in Quebec. If they ever do seperate here is what will happen.
The Natives will be taking back their land, (they have alreay said this) Many cities :ie Montreal and other suburbs will vote to join Ontario, Quebec will be left with a very small piece of land and all they will really have in Hydro which in itself is not enough to support a "country"

Funny though, as was said above, while they want to seperate they still want to use the same money, army, support ect... Do they really think they can have it both ways?

Personally I think they should all move away and leave canada alone, one of the great things about Canada is the fact that there are many cultures that make up this country, taking away a culture would be almost like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I believe if those d!cks ever leave, which by the sound of it is very possible, they will party and celebrate for a few days, realize how ****** over they are and try to rejoin.

As an American stumbling upon this blog in a search about Quebec seperatists, I am fascinated at the amount of posts that posit the theory of American annexation of the rest of Canada if Quebec seperates. You give my fellow americans far to much credit in even knowing that Quebec even dreams of such. I really do not think that America even cares. You can all rest assured that we do not want the Northwest Passage. Canada is safe because most americans dont even know where Canada is!! And Manifest Destiny is a policy long past. I would venture to say most americans do not even know what Manifest Destiny is.

Hehe. You actually registered to a site just to make one post? And you posted to the Asylum? You *are* brave... ;)


The ignorance of the masses ultimately doesn't matter. The masses wouldn't be the ones making the decisions anyway. You think the average American knows anything about tax codes, and international law, and domestic strategy initiatives? And yet somehow the US government manages to do those things constantly, right? So either there's some miracle going on everyday, or your premise is totally flawed. I'm betting the latter...


Having said that, I don't think Quebec will leave Canada. I don't think Canada will break apart. And I certainly don't think the US would annex any of it. The entrenchment of nationalism and its impact on both nations is too strong. Quebec will talk about separation, but it's primarily a political tool to try to get some extra leverage. They'd be hurt more by leaving then the rest of the country would. And even French Canadians aren't haughty enough to do that just for the sake of appearances. It's pure posturing.

7th grade. I had to do a project on it. Manifest Destiny is the belief that, as a people, we have the god-given right to expand as much as possible and claim as much territory as possible.

Did I win?

Manifest destiny was referenced only to talk about the expansion of Canada to the West. To ensure a country that went coast to coast and to stop America from eyeing up ruperts land.

Also if you don't think that the US would move to snap up Alberta as fast as possible given the chance then you are just plain goofy. The largest oil reserves in North America, thoroughly conservative, and full of cowboys. You bet your *** that they would be on that sh[b][/b]it.
