Ok, here's where we find some common ground. I agree with you on those points, and I hate when people bash the French, and steal our money (they stole my money too, not just Quebec's. Remember that). But as long as you guys keep electing only BQ and Liberal members, then we'll be stuck in this. And as long as your province keeps voting PQ and Liberal provincially, little will get done. If Quebec could rally behind the federal Tories, and Mario Dumont and the ADQ then we could really get some work done, all together, and give Quebec and the rest of Canada a real partnership.

What's the big deal if we don't? We can respect that each province has it's own culture, which is cool. Listening to an artist from an areas means nothing. By that logic we might as well join the US since we listen to their music.

it's not the fact that peeps speak english or french. It's the fact that our origins are french, and that we speak french. So when you go to a store, and the seller don't speak a word of french, some people get mad. Most of my friends really suck in english

Back in BC i was in french immersion for a few years....but it was a very small minority in the school system, my class was actually the last to go thru the program in our town
when i moved to ottawa i was amazed at how much french there was around....but its the capital city, everything should be bilingual in a county with 2 official languages. But then i go across the river into hull, quebec....and i assumed everyone would know english as well as french, especially being 5 minutes from the parliament buildings on the english side, but im astonished at how many people iv met who know so little english that they cant even carry a conversation.
Im glad i learned both languages, and i wouldnt want Quebec to seperate....but people need to make an effort if we want canada to be unified, everyone should have a decent understanding of both languages and understand how our country was created on the backs of both peoples (as well as many others).
