Really? is that only because you disagree with me? Frankly your arguments and positions are also quite weak and feeble. Even insinuating that PQ is not a separatist party shows how little you know

What do you have? All you do is go around and find typos in the arguments of anyone who disagrees with you. Are those your STRONG arguments? Typos? Wow, thanks for the debate lesson. There is no point in even discussing with you, regardless of the validity of the arguments and who is wrong or right. When cyber coma writes we must all bow down, but if someone disagrees, let's cut him down by checking his spelling, his font size, grammar, minute errors in facts. These arguments are about ideas, some are facts yes. And it's always good to learn. But if you're to anal to look at anything past spelling or grammar or anything else that's frivolous your comebacks are weak, annoying and childish. It's a miracle anyone even responds to you.

Really cyber coma..are you such an anal retentive idiot that you can't understand what he was trying to say? Is that all most people do here? Find grammar, spelling errors and typos and argue over that? I think there are other chat boards for grammar police, or maybe invent one..there seem to be quite a few here......They're their grammar nazis don't cry...there they're

In Canada, the federal government makes payments to less wealthy Canadian provinces to equalize the provinces' "fiscal capacity"—their ability to generate tax revenues. Equalization payments are based on a formula that calculates the difference between the per capita revenue yield that a particular province would obtain using average tax rates and the national average per capita revenue yield at average tax rates. it goes back tot he policies instituted and the overall socialist "I'm special" mentality of Quebec. Quebec has about 38% of the population of Canada, and the only reason they can't generate tax revenue is because it drives out all businesses with their crazy anti business policies. Such as a pretty high corporate and personal tax rate. Why would anyone successful or with a good idea rush to Quebec to start a company? During the protests, ask any of the students who should pay for their education, most will respond, Tax companies and businesses and the rich. When you punish success, and reward failure with oodles upon oodles of social programs, well you scare off successful people and you attract other types. So fine, if you believe Quebec plays totally fair on equalization payments, and receives 0 special attention and doesn't ask for any special treatment...they still have a major societal and fiscal problem

You are delusional Waldo, the PQ brand themselves as a separatist party. It's like a vegetarian going to mcdonalds..sure they have crummy salads..but do you really go to mcdonalds to eat salad? Same as i'm sure not 100% of PQ voters want to separate, but I would safely says that at least 80% of them do. What other reason would you vote for the PQ? because of Marois nice eyes?

Thank you west guy..

They voted for a separatist government, the CAQ was no better. Merge both together. Right now Quebec is a net beneficiary of payments from Canada, you think if Quebec had to pay that the separatist movement won't come back in full force?

Regardless of the minute technicalities...if Quebec hates Canada so much, and they said numerous times as soon as they are on decent financial footing they will attempt separation again. So it means while Quebec can profit from Canada it stays, but as soon as it has to contribute it wants out. This debate is not on how Quebec exactly gets its help from Canada, but the principle is that they really don't like Canada, but are willing to take what they can while it suits them. Like the example of the spouse that hates you, that takes your money, uses it for their benefit, you bend over backwards to accommodate, contributes nothing, and tells you as soon as she can they're divorcing you. You want a divorce? Fine, you don't like Canada fine. Take your share of the debt, no more help, manage on your own if being in Canada is such a burden. Canada is the greatest country in the world, safe, great opportunity, a nice balance of business incentives and social services... I hate it when people bash Canada. BTW this has nothing to do with the language. If someone doesn't like Canada, no matter the language, get out. I don't understand why we need to bend over backwards for anyone.

For sure I will move. But that doesn't make the money pit that's Quebec right. And the point that they gladly take Canadas' money, but hate it with a passion. It's like your lazy, cheating wife that will gladly take your money even tho she hates you, and she won't slow down her spending or find a job if times are tough AND she tells you as soon as she saves up enough money she's outta here. Why not just kick her out right away?

Easy, you never made a typo? You mentioned expressing my views on a wide range of topics...what time did i post this? Not 2 hours ago? Even tho this board is very interesting, I can't post that quick. And a bigot, in what sense? That I say it's unfair for a broke, irresponsible province to ask for more from the rest of Canada? Did I mention the french people or language? You seem to jump to conclusions pretty quickly sir. Did you read about what Mrs Marois was going to demand mr Harper? More concessions from Ottawa..and more money.

yes they do. If Quebec is broke, can't pay it's bills, extorts money out of the other provinces, where they pay higher education fees, why should Canadians have to pay for spoiled Quebec students? If Queebc had a balanced budget, let them do as they please. As it's the rest of us, paying for useless art degrees, we should have a say.

Quebec receives over half the transfer payments from the provinces. Quebec stated multiple times it wants to leave Canada. It hates the English Canadian but it's more than happy to take our money. By the way, I live in Quebec so I have first hand experience on how much they dislike Canada. Why should a BC student, Ontario student, Alberta or any other student in Canada have to pay more than a Quebec student? Why does the tax dollars of hard working and proud Canadians go to people that waste it and hate us? This must end...Mr Harper, stand up for Canada, stand up for Canadians. Don't give in to extortion. I created a group on facebook. We can make a difference, we can, all united do what's right for Canada and Canadians. Join the page, spread the word..talk to your politicians..no more! http://www.facebook.com/FedUpWithQuebec James

We MUST stop Quebecs extortion of Canada. They receive more than 50% of all transfer payments from hard working, fiscally responsible Canadians. This must stop. Why should other Canadians go without just so Quebecois could have more. Stand up against extortion Mr Harper. I created a group for us to get as many likes and members as possible so we can put an end to this. http://www.facebook.com/FedUpWithQuebec Please join and share..thanks James
