oops very

on the contrary, the CBC is bery secretive about how they spend OUR tax dllars

Jacee and others western racism???-what about Quebec racism?? who is it that makes English largely an illegal language? who is it that threatens to leave Canada? on top of that - the other provinces are not as reliant on equalization payments as Quebec ( $257b over 50 yrs) I chalenge you to tell me which province has received as much from the ROC as Quebec?

the CBC is a bloated pig with biased political reporting and leanings. Why should canadian taxpayers subsidize the CBC wih $1b/yr in tax dolllars in a 1000 channel universe. Thos ewho like/watch the CBC can pay for it. I am so offended by their leftist and anti-canadian attitudes and their secretive refusal to tell us what they are doing with our taxx dollars

one of us did

Well Europe is now a basket case. Of course Quebec hasn't left - after all they are receiving $8b/yr.

if Quebec didnt receive the largesse of ROC ( for example, if Quebec did separate and ROC cut them off) Quebec would soon become a third world jurisdiction.

I appreciate that sometimes a province needs helpand do not oppose the principle. However, Quebec has received $257b over 50 yrs which leads me to believe that they have become reliant on equallization payments,

Jacee I am appalled that you assume that anyone opposed to one or more provinces subsidizing another is based on "ethnic prejudice". It sounds like you are attempting to quell the messenger rather than the message. You are entitled to your opinion but not to your own facts. The objective facts are that Quebec has received form the ROC $257b since enforced equalization started in the 50's and they still have a provincial debt of $250b. It says to me that Quebec is unable to manage their finances and rely on ROC to subsidize them. It also says that Quebec politicians play the "profitable federalism" game to the detriment of ROC. During the same time Quebec has sh_t on the ROC and tried to separate from the ROC. I have always found the Quebec culture delightful but not Quebec politics.

I applaud the posters who are aware of Alberta's history and the past exploitation of the west, including Alberta. Really, is there anyone who claims seriously that the west was treated fairly by the east before 1930?? It has already been posted that the west was a second class province because they didn't have control over their own resources like the eastern province did. To add insult to injury, Alberta is subsidizing Quebec ( indirectly thru federal equalization payments) to the tune of $8b/yr. and the oilsands is providing immense benefits to the rest of Canada, including Ontario and Quebec, by creating manufacturing needs for the oilsands and jobs by the ROC. I am offended that the selfish and petulant Quebecer's think they should receive more from other provinces to finance their extravagant sociall programs

it is not obama to blame but rather the republcans - ( the party of NO)

you said much more eloquently how Quebec is taking fromthe ROC - spoiled petulant bastards

It'll never happen - even PET's NEP couldn't doit

like the man said, dont let the door hit your _ss on the way out

if they leave, they will become a french country of 8-10m in an ocean of 350m anglos

thats untrue - the ROC gives them 8b$n "transfer or equaliztion" payments, much of it from the west. and theyr still have a provincial debt of 257b$

Give it a break

Check my post on the ROC topic

so your position is that surgeons and other doctors are not stressed, dentists have no stress, engineers are not stressed, I guess they have no stress???

Many school boards distribute funds according to how many of their students pass. Therefore my conclusion is that teachers may pass students to get the funding and NOT becuz the student deserved it.

I wonder how the rest of us mortals regard his work

this teacher stood up for what he thought was right rather than obediently follow a nonsensical direction

why do you assume that everyone who is not a teacher is 'ignorant" Oh, I see,, is it becz some of us disagree with your self-important view of the world??

surely you cant be suggesting that other professions are not stressful...
