Guest Peeves Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Is to come up with a positive that Quebec has or will add to Canada. I'll start, http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/06/12/steve-murrays-unboring-history-project-how-booze-lovin-quebec-low-turnout-saved-canada-from-prohibition/ "a national referendum in 1898, one of only four in our history. And whoa, it was a close one, with 51.2% voting in favour of prohibition. So that’s how we got national prohibition. But wait a second! We didn’t get national prohibition! But why? Well, you know how they go on about voter apathy these days? Turns out only 44% voted in this referendum. If that wasn’t bad enough, guess how Quebec voted? 81% AGAINST prohibition of course. So, it was essentially booze-lovin’ Quebec against the rest of the country. Laurier sure didn’t need the hassle of an angry, sober Quebec." YEA! I'll drinkeepoo to that. Vive le Québec Quote

August1991 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Is to come up with a positive that Quebec has or will add to Canada. Because of Quebec, Canada is a federal state. After the Conquest, the British were forced to accept the Catholic church. That's two. Quote
