From 2005/06 (as far back as publicly available Finance department data goes) up to the present year, Quebec has received $56.7 billion or 54 per cent of the $107.4 billion the federal government spent on equalization.

lol. Distinct societies are a dime a dozen. Maybe Greek town in Toronto will want autonomy next? If being distinct from the rest of Canada is the only reason you need to use our tax dollars to break apart our country, we are obviously doomed as a country. If you have travelled anywhere beyond your computer screen, you would have noted every province is different, and in every province there are different regions, and in every region there is difference of opinions with different ethnic groups claiming different rights and wants. Where do you suggest we draw the line? Thanks for your continued confirmation that you indeed cannot debate in a civil manner.

Yet people like me? Dramatic hysterics? You mean, people who debate on a debating forum, but have an opposing view than yours?

Wrong. Which we pay for. Trying to break apart our country is, in fact, being a traitor. It's the actual definition. traitor /ˈtreɪtə/ noun 1. a person who is guilty of treason or treachery, in betraying friends, country, a cause or trust, etc Derived Forms traitorous, adjective traitorously, adverb traitorship, noun traitress, noun:feminine Word Origin C13: from Old French traitour, from Latin trāditor traditor Ironic etymology is french?

Really? The majority of Quebecers do not want to separate, as they have democratically shown. So we keep holding referendums ad infinitum until the very last separatist has gone to their separatist heaven? I'm not trying to be flippant, CC, with your remark, but it is you that has pointed out Quebec holds RoC at end of a barrel of a gun demanding, and getting, more than their fair share.

I can't find a dollar amount for either the 1980 or the 1995 referendums.

That was my question, you are correct. You said once, which isn't. My further question, is do we keep footing the bill, as tax payers to the state, to organizations and events (referendums) whose sole purpose is the usurpation of said state? You can see not only the hypocrisy, but the ludicrousness of this can't you?

..and as if I forgot to mention state funerals for certain seperatists!

Michael, don't be disingenous. You think that this magically ended in 1995? As for the bill, referendums are not free. Nor is the Distinct Society favours that have been given to Quebec to mollify them.

lol Yes, I know. Distinct society indeed!

Once? Twice in recent history. When does it end? How is our opinion barely interesting when we foot the majority of the bill? Love the BBC. They call it the Neverendum Referendum. Kinda catchy. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29077213

The majority of Quebecers voted against separation. By extrapolation, even if 100% of the tax dollars used are from Quebec (which, of course, they won't be) you are still using tax money for a state funeral for a politician whose sole purpose was to exclude voters from Canada, of which the majority did not approve. We should be happy democracy works. How many times do we spend billions on this issue though?

He stated not long ago separation was still achievable, and that public funds should be utilized to do this. State money to decimate the state. State funeral for a person looking to decimate the state. Talk about hypocrisy.

Done. Allahu Ahkbar

Ever see the movie The Untouchables? Connery and Costner Malone: OK, pal, why the mahaska? Why are you carrying the gun? Ness: I'm a treasury officer. Malone: Alright. Just remember what we talked about now. [Malone walks away] Ness: Hey, wait a minute! What the hell kind of policemen you got in this god damn city? You just turned your back on an armed man. Malone: You're a treasury officer. Ness: How do you know that? I just told you that. Malone: Who would claim to be that who was not? Hmm? Same as your pal Omar. Said he threw the grenade. Hoped it wasn't the one that killed Speers. Who would admit that who hadn't done it? And please, he told that to the psychologist very recently. As you aren't a psychologist, please don't infer he admitted to murder because he said he may have been waterboarded.

You`re right. I don`t think we should be mentioning JP`s name anywhere. Good call.

lol. Listen, a Canadian throwing grenades at an American anywhere fits your personal agenda, then cool. Again, Allahu Akbar. I personally don`t think Canadians should be going around the world as part of terrorist organizations and attacking our allies, but that`s just me I guess. You and your Liberal cronies are all good with killing those `damn muricans`. Bigotry at it`s finest....still

sigh He told the psychologist examining him for bail he did. This happened very recently, as you are aware. Yours is obviously the one outdated. Again, whatever. Love anyone attacking those "damn muricans".

sigh Listen, I'll post it again for laughs. Yes, Omar admits doing what you insist he didn't. And again, as I have mentioned numerous times, I'm talking about very recently. In fact, in his interviews to see if he should be granted bail here in Canada. So, it didn't happen tomorrow, so yes, call it outdated. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/khadr-rejects-terrorism-nonsense-still-has-nightmares-about-firefight/article24294121/

lol. Man, I've posted enough links where he himself has said he did it. You will never admit it as it doesn't fit your anti American narrative. Allahu Akbar.

There sure is. He killed a man.You're okay with that, cause it was just a fu%%ing "damn murican". Take your bloody bigotry, and you know.......

"This extremely right-wing-board". Oh my. The moderation on this site does not censor you, nor the other ppl of the left leaning variety. Of which this site is most assuredly the majority.

I think so. "our society" also encompasses all 640 FN.
