Proving what point. That the women is incompetent as a representative of the Queen? The two are totally different comparisons, one being a personal loyal Canadian, and the other being a provincially loyal Canadian in comparison to the nationalistic aspirations of Quebecers. In the future quote what was actually said. Language laws in Quebec are not a pile of horse manure. They are real and legal, in Quebec that is. If you are French living in Ontario, no one really knows the level of your Quebec nationalistic ideological support. Therefore, if I am English living in Ontario I would be more of loyal Canadian than you as I am not bothered by nationalistic Quebec cultural issues influencing my loyalty to Canada as a country. And simply being francophone outside of Quebec you are nevertheless used statiscally to bolster Canada's French population, that includes Quebec. The GG is incompetent in not recognizing the fact the anniversary of Quebec city is not in the interest of Canadians. Canada was not even a country when Quebec was founded and the Bloc made ity clear, they don't want a representative of the Queen invoved in these celebrations. The GG patronizing to France is posing another conflict of interest situation. Let the GG show and demonstrate her loyalties to Canada by remaining impartial to situations that potentially create a conflict of interest and show disloyalty to the country that gave us our constitution, Britain. She is the Queen's representative. The good and the bad is totally inappropriate in describing aspirations that include traitorism.

Another cheap personal attack by you, who cannot differentiate the racial discriminating policies of the government of Quebec vs. a personal racist allegation. It is obvious you AGREE with the racial discriminating Quebec policies and in turn level a personal charge of racism against me to defend Quebec's racist language policies.

The Iranian revolution and MENA competition contributed to that temporary, drastic drop. Why should more refineries be built since there is no more oil to refine. Future oil exploration, also an environmental issue, is something else and needless to say, hard to get at oil will result in higher prices still.

True. Normally someone being an immigrant from Haiti does not bother me. But in the position of GG does in fact rather disturbs me. How a women from a dysfunctional country such as Haiti carry out her duties in a politically dysfunctional country such as Canada, without showing or demonstrating a prejudice or political leaning is near impossible. And she has demonstrated this prejudice by clearly ignoring loyalties normally associated with a country. The political party that chose her also misjudged her appointment by discounting her personal associations. Canadians from provinces that do not racially discriminate and continually threaten separation are more loyal to their country. There is a vast political difference of opinion, namely the real reason to celebrate the anniversary of Quebec city. Why should Canadians be forced to read between the mumble jumble of political opinion and who's interest does it favour Canada's or Quebec's. Make up your mind, are you with Canada or are you with Quebec? The least you can do is use the full quote. This was not a racist comment but one to establish the fact to raise your children in the English language, you do not agree with Quebec political ideologies. This good for Canada, NON? I also know immigrant Canadians that teach their children the foreign language of the country they immigrated from. You can live the life you choose to live, but again I think you forgot what we are debating which is not your democratic right. Outside of Quebec language rights are not dictated. Canada is not a communist country. Prove that I harbour racist sentiments or retract your allegation. Note: Labelling someone racist is ALSO against forum rules.

I don't care where the GG was born, just as long as her political interest lie in the interest of Canadians and not the interest of a potentially troubling foreign country supporting Quebec Canadien-francais separatist fantasies. But it is a fact, majority Canadians raise their children English and communicate themselves via the English language. You seem to have a problem separating the political aspirations of majority Canadians vs Quebec Canadien-francais.

The only bigots are French CANADIANS who mostly all have the same ideologies as the Quebecois in Quebec, whereas year after year they impose the Notwithstanding Clause to racially discriminate against linguistic cultural minorities other than French language in Quebec. If you were truly Canadian, you would put no cultural emphasis on the minority French language and simply raise your children and speak the majority 'de-facto' language, English. Hence, there would be no argument from you in this thread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Canadian

(a) What major factor controls commodities on the free market. ( The free market does not set oil prices, Arab producing countries do. GOOD.

My reply was regarding future oil contracts and ignores high increases in the price of a barrel of oil. For instance, electric cars could be 'very in' tomorrow. Or a declining economy where most people decide to park their cars and use public transportation. Just think how this alone would affect future demand and money to be 'not be made', on a future oil contract based on a dramatic increase on a barrel of oil.

Heterosexuals better start parading their asses down the street shouting and waving signs, 'hey, we don't only know how to screw, but we can make babies to'. A bit To late, though. Pink Trudeau and his pals did Canada hard to repair damage. What are you worried about? It will take years for all the Liberal appointees to die out. Homosexuals are no minority. They are simply Canadians with a vulgar, degenerative lifestyle. They don't have to bash homosexuals in the U.S. They just keep them in their closet where they belong. Again, homosexuals are NOT a minority relating to a society. Whatever that is supposed to mean.

No offense guyser but what do degenerates know about logic?

This is to risky with a declining economy, which in itself could automatically cap demand.

We will need a citation for that one. I still don't know how you can discount the race factor which IMO, in the end, if Obama is the chosen candidate, will put McCain in the drivers seat and who will be your next president. This is a prediction and not a fact.

This is the result of the 1973 oil embargo coupled with increases in Arab oil. Conditions to-day are totally different, namely TRUE supply vs. demand. Peak oil is real. And new 'hard to get at' oil is very expensive.

http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...f3-dcc07e351ad9 Looks like Hillary is capitalizing on the fact the Democrats should never have chosen a Black man America is not ready for.

Canada politically speaking is already spoken for, from the country that gave us our constitution. The last thing we need is a meddling French president to further fuel problematic minority Quebec political ideologies.

I don't have to figure anything out. It is up to you to properly identify WTF your talking about.

I will give you a clue you don't know what you are talking about. Racism does NOT necessarily apply to skin colour. Prejudices on other grounds such as discrimination to national or regional origin, religion, occupation, social status or some other distinction. In the case of Michele Jean, she is promoting institutional racism which is totally different than bigotry or racial bias type racism. In other words she is promoting a provinces racist systematic policies that are harmful to other cultures.

This is 2008 and dumb, stupid animals are excusable. Humans possess an intelligence that far exceeds that of any animal and therefore are not excusable or should not be excused for their anti-heterosexual behavior. If some humans cannot control their emotions and allow their sexual impulses to include members of the same sex, then as a human should recognize this abnormal, deviant behavior and promptly seek medical attention. It is available. The only reason it is legal in this country is because of anti-heterosexual, communist type, state imposed legislation from politicians who themselves fail to acknowledge their homosexuality as abnormal and repulsive and destructive to the society heterosexuals have successfully developed.

Gays and lesbians are light years ahead of heterosexuals. To date, heterosexuals have no similar National Heterosexual Task Force. All heterosexuals in U.S and Canada have had since the origins of both countries, is our political system and Christianity. Both have formed a bond that produced a workable, stable country for all to enjoy, until the queers grew out of the wood work and came out of their closets. This is more pronounced in Canada. Canada has developed since its origin, a society to allow especially families and children to prosper to a standard the majority considered NORMAL. This society now been overtaken by undemocratic communist type rights that has overtaken moral standards and its associated stability that has afforded its citizens peace of mind and provided a moralistic standard of life associated closely with Christianity. If heterosexuals ever developed a national heterosexual task force, under current conditions would no doubt be charged under hate legislation. Yes boys and girls, this is how far our country has degenerated primarily under Liberal rule.

If your BAC was found by blood analysis rather a common breathalyser test, would you be more in acceptance of that result and non-demanding of a trial?

And back to concerns that reflect the topic of this post rather than warding off personal (against forum rules) attacks). Even Bloc leader Gilees Duceppe thinks the GG should not be representing Quebec in France: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...?hub=TopStories Liberal leader Dion should be proud of what Duceppe said and be glad he did not renounce his French citizenship.

It is you that does not see the humour. Here we have a Haitian immigrant, now obviously a Canadian citizen, who was also a citizen of France, married to a film producer friendly with Quebec French separatist, becomes governor general and promotes the racist ideologies of discriminatory Quebec language Charter in a province that officially declares its language French. And Michaelle Jean deplores racism. Go figure.

No you are not smarter than I. But I agree you are a smart ass. There is no credible source to back your ridiculous allegations that Jean is currently a French citizen. In fact if you learn to read and comprehend the English language you will notice that I said: And she did this for good reason: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micha%C3%ABlle_Jean

Two spelling errors Dancer, one being english (English) and the other multi lingual (multilingual), in a short elementary 11 word sentence. Not bad, for an academic like you claim to be. Ha, ha, ha. And "struggles with english", which I fail to comprehend, unless you mean the English language and not its people. Some academic. I think Dancer is somehow struggling to defend his French friends in Quebec.

Poor Dancer does not understand that when you factor in the 'cost of living' your $15.00 unskilled hamburg funny money does not buy you very much. http://www.sacanada.org/lofiversion/index.php/t11304.html
