  1. I can understand un petit peux. Merci beaucoup. Ok thanks, I guess some people are overreacting, eh?
  2. http://blogues.journaldemontreal.com/bock-cote/general/alerte-quebecois-dangereux/ Can anybody give me the gist of this article? I think it is about the rise of radical seperatists in Quebec.
  3. Well I hope Canada stays united.
  4. Definately heated debate happening. Lets not lose our cool people. Soyez calme. Intégrité va gagner ce débat.
  5. You sure know your P's and Q's. I have to admit I have always admired politics and the public life, it is so interesting to follow the players in the scene and the intrigue of it all. Have a great weekend!
  6. Lets all agree that this debate should not be discussed in a thread about a criminal that murdered an innocent man. Moment of silence for Mr. DENIS BLANCHETTE.
  7. It just seems so severe, we understand the unique identity and language aspect. I also agree with what you said about multinationals, we are becoming powerless against the big business interests. China has a lot of money in the bank, they just proposed an acquisition of Calgary based Nexen energy for 15.1 billion. I grew up in Saskatchewan, and live in Alberta. I am mixed English and French heritage, many of my Aunts still speak Francais, I took up to grade 9. We went to Quebec City in 2001 to protest agains George Bush, we marched in solidarite with many of our Quebecois brothers and sisters. Alberta has some pretty amazing people too! The stereotype that we are all backward money grubbing hicks is sad. Viva Quebec and Viva Canada! Jadore les beaux arts.

  9. Europe is in shambles, my friend. And the Us and the Uk are sinking ships. Canada is an island of hope in a very stormy world. Soon to get much worse. Nice of you to post here Benz, we need more dialogue between Quebec and the Roc. My question is we are all related? Why choose to seperate? We are all family. Many of us all are distant cousins. Bonne journee.
  10. Make them disclose.
  11. I live in Alberta and very much agree.
  12. Vive Canada! We need to encourage Quebec federalism and continue integration of our societies. We are all one.
  13. I hope Quebec chooses federalism and moderation.

  17. Greece is experiencing symptoms of a major crisis in economic policy, they are not alone. The US and many European countries are also experiencing major problems in their struggle towards economic stability. http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-19-08/countdown-break-euro-has-officially-begun
  18. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/top-business-stories/greek-turmoil-sinks-markets-in-the-grip-of-another-crisis/article2431737/ "Politicians and policy makers in the 17-member monetary union are now voicing the possibility of Greece leaving as its troubles deepen. Talks to build a coaltion government have failed following last week's election, though talks continued today, and the country seems headed for a second vote in June."
  19. edging closer to the Greeks exiting the Eurozone, eh.
  20. Occupy is set to get going again, Check this site: http://www.may12.net Looks like things may start picking up again.
  21. What about JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs and the like, these banksters are financial terrorists and they get away with ruining lives.
  22. the system is not sustainable, how much time is left before the whole thing crumbles is the real question.
  23. Firstly, the rich have ways to avoid paying high taxes. and another thing. they will just move their business elsewhere. Secondly, the Occupy movement is about many things, and it is about to get going again in May. http://www.may12.net/ Thirdly, "Last week, occupiers in New York City chained open subway entrances and posted official looking notices inviting the public to ride for free. Their innovative action caused an immediate sensation in the Occupy movement suggesting that similar jams will be carried out worldwide in May. Jammers explained that the fare strike was done to show the connection between the de-funding of public transportation and the financial takeover of democracy: "Instead of using our tax money to properly fund transit, Albany and City Hall have intentionally starved transit of public funds for over twenty years; the MTA must resort to bonds (loans from Wall Street) to pay for projects and costs ... more than $2 billion a year goes to debt service ... by 2018 more than one out of every five dollars of MTA revenue will head to a banker’s pockets." Union leadership agreed. Authorities in New York City were swift to condemn, even going so far as to release surveillance footage of the occupiers calmly pulling off this audacious jam. It is no surprise that they are worried. This is perhaps the first time that the fare strike tactic has been successfully deployed in America and it is a sign that the I Don’t Pay movement which has been flourishing in Europe is finally leaping to North America. In Greece, jammers routinely occupy toll booths and public transportation entrances allowing everyone to pass for free. As Occupy matures, it is beginning to learn a few new tricks. If Occupy adopts the I Don’t Pay movement’s fare strike tactic, we just might see May’s uprising snowball into a wildcat consumer revolt–a mass refusal to pay–the likes of which the world has never seen." http://www.adbusters.org/blogs/adbusters-blog/specter-wildcat-consumer-strike.html
