  1. Simple question. What must White Canadians do to protect our White cultural and Christian associated traditions, that have been ravished or undermined by Quebec culture, Aboriginal culture and immigrants and their imposing cultures? Canadian streets are now full of ethnic foreigners, our hospitals are full of Islamic Muslim doctors and stores full of ethnic help and our English language being attacked by forces of government to impose the French language.
  2. This only applies to substitute and casual teachers. But there are a few exceptions: http://www1.servicecanada.gc.ca/en/ei/info...n/teacher.shtml
  3. To bad Canada cannot develop its own military needs rather then depend on retrofits and weaponry from another country, because by the time they are installed they will be well on their way to becoming obsolete, again.
  4. Your 5% and thirty% is totally irrelevant to your own question. If everything was known, the only people would be the ones charged with an offense requiring jail time. In Canada that would be on average .oo1% of Canada population.
  5. Great! The in fact you are supporting one of the 'Big Three', GM. Saab is a line of automobiles manufactured by Saab Automobile AB company in Sweden, and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Motors Corporation.
  6. You have just described how corrupt Canada's political system is and how stupid Canadians are not to recognize it. And not to forget the many dork Canadians married to a system that caters to communist aspirations. Forget it. There are to many dork Canadians married to the current system that caters to communist aspirations that forces all Canadians to open their wallets to support the socialist aspirations of Canada's controlling, undemocratic politicians.
  7. The quote I supplied as proof: ""It was only because of the Quebec electorate's strong support for the (pro free-trade) Conservative party in 1989, that the Mulroney government was able to push through the first free trade agreement (FTA) with the U.S., English Canada being sharply divided over the issue." That study was done in 2000 NOT 1989. The part I quoted was relating to 1989. To-day it is Alberta that is the clear winner of FTA not Ontario. Oh yeah, FTA, I love it when I look at all these multi-nationalist oil companies in collusion with each creating a gas shortage situation, when in Canada we don't have one. The U.S. is the country with the gas shortage. Pay at the pumps suckers, thanks to NAFTA.
  8. I provided you with proof Mulroney did it for Quebec. Whether it is a good thing or bad thing for the Canadian economy, especially in the ling term, is highly debatable.
  9. Sure Quebec benefits from NAFTA, but they are not the primary beneficiaries of the agreement. It's a good deal for all Canadians. Ontario's manufacturing sector. Alberta's oil and gas. BC's lumber. etc. etc. etc. Quebec was the primary reason for the 'free trade deal' (NAFTA). If it was not for Quebec and Mulroney, there would NOT have been a free trade deal: "It was only because of the Quebec electorate's strong support for the (pro free-trade) Conservative party in 1989, that the Mulroney government was able to push through the first free trade agreement (FTA) with the U.S., English Canada being sharply divided over the issue." Mulroney was working basically for Quebec! http://www.hil.unb.ca/Texts/CJRS/bin/get.c...name=Polese.htm
  10. Then consider yourself fortunate and free enough to wave a flag with your image on it. Slave on and don't take politics and Alberta pride so seriously. Anyway HAPPY DOMINION DAY!
  11. Canada does not give oil away to the U.S., it sells it to them. Furthermore the U.S. does not own Canadian oil rights: " Contrary to some claims, NAFTA does not commit Canada to exporting a certain share of its energy supply to the United States regardless of Canadian needs. Canadian producers sell without restriction on the open market. The only significant limitation NAFTA places on Canada is that it prevents the Canadian government from implementing policies that interfere with the normal functioning of energy markets in North America. Provided they have the demand and can pay the price, Canadian consumers could conceivably buy 100% of all energy produced in the country without violating NAFTA. http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/library/...s/prb0633-e.htm It is my belief, Mulroney a Quebec PM, primarily committed Canada to NAFTA for the benefit of Quebec: "Thanks to the World Trade Organization and the North American Free Trade Agreement, there has been an increase of Québec's ability to compete on the international market. Further to these agreements, its trade relations with other countries have been given a boost. Consequently, Québec's imports have increased significantly. These international exchanges foster the strength of Québec's economy, particularly in matters of employment Québec exports its goods and services around the world : nearly two-thirds of its goods and services are exported outside Canada. In 2003, international exports totalled $133,640 billion Canadian, or 35 % of its GDP. Québec's international exports for year 2003 are broken down as follows : United States 83.2 % Europe 9.6 % Asia and Oceania 4.4 % Latin America 1.5 % Africa and the Middle East 1.3 % " http://gouv.qc.ca/portail/quebec/pgs/commu...%2Fimportexport
  12. What Canada Day means in Quebec. Here are some samplers: "MONTREAL (CP) - Asked if he has any plans for Canada Day, Oussama Aitelhaj asks "When is Canada Day?" That just about sums up the standing Canada's national celebration has in Quebec, where many people want to leave Canada and many others don't seem to care. "I'll stay home," says Aitelhaj, a Canadian citizen, when asked what he'll do to mark July 1 this year. "I don't have to work. I don't have to go to school." That's celebration enough, he jokes. Christiane Joanette is what could pass for an ardent federalist in Quebec. She knows when Canada Day is and she usually goes to the park with her family to take in the local celebrations. This year? "I'm moving," she says. Most leases in Quebec expire at the end of June and anyone who wants to relocate spends the holiday packing or unpacking. While Quebecers love getting a second three-day weekend in a row, the celebrations are always far more muted than for the June 24 Fete nationale holiday and the province never becomes a sea of red on July 1. And even the fact this is the 140th anniversary of Confederation won't change that. "I don't mind the holiday, that's good," says Francoise David, whose fledgling Quebec solidaire party espouses separation from Canada. "But I don't participate in any celebration because, for me, it has no meaning." For many Quebecers, it's just a day off, she says. "There are certainly people for whom it's an important holiday but I have the impression that for most people, even for people who aren't sovereigntists, that they don't celebrate the day in any particular way," says David. "There's a certain indifference on the part of many Quebecers." Indifference may be the best case scenario, says Allen Nutik, founder of Affiliation Quebec, a pro-federalist group. "The anti-Canada feelings in Quebec run so high," Nutik says. In Quebec City, the annual holiday tradition in recent years has included a small parade and an accompanying protest by hardline sovereigntists. In Montreal, Nutik says turnout for the downtown parade has diminished each year. "Some (people) are embarrassed, some are outright intimidated or frightened," he says. This year, organizers aren't sure they will be able to mount more than a marching band and their own unbridled enthusiasm. Nutik says the federal Heritage Department hasn't come up with one red cent for the parade in Montreal. But a spokesman for the department says $40,000 has been set aside for the downtown parade. The department says celebrations at the Old Port in Montreal are the centrepiece of federally funded Canada Day events in the city. But Claude Leclerc, organizer of the parade for many years, says the funding is a pittance. The Fete nationale parade held the weekend before costs $675,000. In the heyday of the notorious federal sponsorship program, Canada Day in Quebec was flush with cash; apparently not as much cash as was paid out, but flush all the same. Nutik blames sponsorship shame for the poor showing the past few years. He says federalist parties in Ottawa have abandoned the anglophone minority in Quebec in order to woo the so-called "soft" nationalist vote they need to win seats in the province. He says there's pressure to abandon the downtown parade altogether. "It's as if the federal government is trying to sabotage it," Nutik says. "And it is shameful." There aren't that many activities listed in the province on the federally sponsored website for Canada Day in Quebec. There are events planned in the Old Port of Montreal, a young staffer at the local tourism office assures a visitor. She just doesn't have any information about them. Jean-Francois Lisee, an author and political pundit at the Universite de Montreal, says celebrating Canada has never been de rigueur in Lower Canada - not 140 years ago and not today. "When Quebec joined the federation in 1867, there were no celebrations," says Lisee. He says it's only since the rise of the sovereigntist movement that the federal government has promoted July 1 in Quebec - with very limited success. "You have a holiday, it's nice outside," Lisee says. "I'm sure that this being the 140th anniversary will not make much of a difference for Quebecers." Tania Kottoyanni, co-president of the Conseil de la souverainete, says most Quebecers don't even know it's the 140th anniversary of Confederation. "People here know a lot more about their national celebration than this one," she says, referring to the Fete nationale. But Nutik and a handful of his Canada-loving friends are determined. There will be a parade, he says, even if it's just a single marching band and some proud anglophones holding up traffic. He urged all federalists in Quebec to come out and fill the ranks. "If you think that Canada deserves to be a country and you are Canadian in Quebec, come to this parade. Your country depends on it." © The Canadian Press, 2007 http://www.mackenziefinancial.com/en/pub/m.../n0629168.shtml
  13. Property and housing values are pretty well at par with Ottawa thanks to the tremendous growth in Ottawa. The other plus factor for Quebec is any federal construction on the Quebec side will be dominated by Quebec workers with few if any from the province of Ontario. Actually you got that backwards. The Anglophone federal workforce in Quebec is 2.2% in March 2006. The Francophone federal workforce across Canada is 22% out of (old figures) 333,643 federal public employees, with 75% of those in the Ottawa area, for a total of around 70,000 Francophones many of whom live in Ottawa. So there are many that cross the bridge to go to work each morning, each way, including thousands from Gatineau Quebec that pour into Ottawa. http://www.ocol-clo.gc.ca/archives/ar_ra/2...t/dfo_mpo_e.htm http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/981208/d981208.htm Please read these links, it will inform you.
  14. Envy or pride are not the primary reasons some Canadians are anti-American but has more to do with political reasons. And what does this really mean? More dubbed Quebec films for the ROC. Who else in Canada dwells on culture like Quebec? It is all smoke and mirrors with the bottom line focused on cultural diversity equating to power. Pride is dangerous just like religion when driven to the extremities and this is what Quebec's problem is, 'extreme cultural nationalistic pride' equating to cultural fanaticism or simply, for all practical reasons, a continuation of the 'War on the Plains of Abraham'.
  15. Again this year, Quebec gets the lion's share (55%) or $3,690,786 out of a total of $6,735,280 Canada Day funding. Why? "The Department of Canadian Heritage says Quebec receives a larger share of money for holidays celebrations because its provincial government doesn't fund Canada Day events." My heart is bleeding! Why even bother to have a federal provincial political party in Quebec when they don't stand up for Canada. To display any kind of patriotism to Canada apparently does not pay for Canadian citizens of other Canadian provinces who will be federally short changed of Canada Day funding. Why even bother to celebrate Canada Day when the federal government is unable to equally distribute Canada Day funding not to mention the federal government also provides funding for Quebec's 'Fete National du Quebec' celebrations, ( St. John Baptist Day). PROVINCE FUNDING PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL Quebec $3,690,786 55 Ontario $1,013,500 15 British Columbia $491,250 7 Alberta $310,250 5 Manitoba $211,000 3 Saskatchewan $174,294 3 Nova Scotia $173,250 3 New Brunswick $172,000 3 Newfoundland and Labrador $148,000 2 Prince Edward Island $123,000 2 Yukon $87,000 1 Northwest Territories $76,650 1 Nunavut $64,300 1 TOTAL $6,735,280 100 http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...3f79336&k=25165
  16. What you are saying is that the Conservatives are in agreement of successful Liberal corruptness and that is where the problem is. That is why why we have a dysfunctional government. Political parties continue to play the old game when we know basically the Quebec created Liberals are a fraudulent national political party continually playing up to the interest of Quebec with a few socialist inspired programs to win the hearts of the ROC. The capitalist are robbing Canadians thanks to the Liberalization of Canada. But it is the Liberals who rob basically English Canadians of their lifestyles, quality of life and getting us to pay for it to boot. For instance the 'Charter of Rights and Freedoms' that contain discriminatory sections forcing Canadians to subsidize a foreign nationalistic culture that continually brow beats the feds for power and money with the end result being, English Canada paying the shot and at the same time being discriminated upon. Our current political system is broken.
  17. Like I said, it burns eh? It only goes to show that you many Canadians know very little about politics and care little about politics, but rather are bought off by cheap socialist ideologies, programs and policies. With all of this paid for a capitalistic freer society, while at the same time destroying the lifestyle and quality of life of the English speaking majority.
  18. Which only proves, 42% are Liberal supporters who like other communist supporters enjoy the prospect of being subsidized for everything at the expense of contents of the wallets of other Canadians. Hey, what the hell, why not, its a free country. Don't be a jerk, vote Liberal.
  19. I do not think it is the fact the they had to change lifestyles. I am guessing it has to do with genocide, centuries of racism and discrimination, broken treaties, residential schools, etc, etc..... What genocide are you talking about? You mean the same type of genocide Indians used against other Indian bands. Broken treaties? You know 1,000 or more have already been addressed, leaving a small number unsettled and some are even over a few acres. Racism? Ever hear of reverse discrimination or is racism only limited to Whiteys? Residential schools? If you mean on reservations, I always assumed Indians want to look after their own policing and education on their exclusive, private reservations. Indians already are the most subsidized group in Canada. You want hold my hand and I will show you where the washrooms are.
  20. "China has built its economy on the basis of manufacturing of commodity-type products. "What we have seen in the US is that our new jobs that are being created are in the area of higher value manufacturing, differentiation of products, higher technology, and in many cases new services," "US lawmakers have threatened to slap a 27.5 percent tariff on China's US-bound exports unless Beijing revalues its currency, the yuan, although momentum for a vote has declined after two key senators visited Beijing. " The United States says the yuan is undervalued, giving an unfair advantage to China and fuelling a massive bilateral trade deficit. " http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-04...tent_557679.htm Condoleezza Rice had this to say relating to China and India as to not being a threat to the U.S: http://content.msn.co.in/News/Internationa...07_1037.htm#top
  21. You couldn't pay a comedian to write this kind of material...... I also doubt any comedian would want this material. That is why this whole issue is so damn serious relating to to a single dysfunctional government trying to pander to, what amounts to, the political ideologies of two separate countries.
  22. Quebec pride as nothing to do with pride. What the French are basically anywhere in the world including Quebec are obnoxious, arrogant, aggressive people especially relating to their politicians who will not bow to anyone's rule but their own. They are willing to break up Canada with blackmail and threats knowing full well the federal government will never kick Quebec out of confederation with the end result being 7-million Quebec refugees on the borders of other Canadian provinces with no where to go after their province disintegrates to nothing if in fact they were thrown out of confederation.
  23. Always a laugh to read someone calling someone else off base when their own post makes them look illiterate.... Pride, primary definition= "A feeling of elation or satisfaction at achievements or qualities or possessions etc. that do one credit." Concise Oxford Dictionary. Maybe Dancer can explain the difference between 'pride' and playing the fiddle and Quebec nationalism. I see no relation in the word 'pride' relating to the accumulative desires of Quebecers with traitorous actions, threatening to break up the country by blackmailing our federal government for more power or money.
  24. There have been discussions on AM radio talk shows relating to this question. Here is some more info on the subject. http://www.oneschoolsystem.org/home.html
  25. Well said, M Dancer. While I dont support separatism, I have to agree here. Local pride is not necessarily the root of anything. It is possible to have a somewhat unique culture and be part of Canada, and being a Maritimer I have to acknowledge that you gave a good example. I think separatism may have more to do with a cultural inferiority complex. Maybe that's a load of baloney, too. I don't know. Do you have a clue what of WTF your talking about? Or could it be you are inhaling or injecting some sort of illegal substance?
