Where can we send all the Canadian Malcontents

[mirror]

Recently there was a report about what big whiners Canadians are, perthaps 4th highest in the world. I can believe it.

Most of the rest of the people on the planet would love to live here. What's wrong with these Canadian malcontents? Are they defective? Are they missing a gene, or something?

Anyway they are a big pain in the butt to the rest of us, and I was thinking where could we send them, what part of Canada should we deport them to, until such time they come to their senses. Is there some place in Northern Quebec, or Northern BC, or perhaps on Baffin Island, where these trouble makers could be housed and feed, and schooled, so that we would not have to hear their wailing any more?

I beleive you would be complaining too if your a liberal and the conservative would have been in power for 78 years of the last 109 years and almost 5/6 of the time since the 60's.

You would be complaining even more if you live in a region of the country that would never vote for a conservative party but get imposed the same old party over and over again.

Or send them to Manitoba and have them voice they're opinion about everything 24/7.

Listen pal,

I grew up in Quebec, and yes the francophones at the time had some legitimate grievances, BUT, and that's big BUT, Trudeau got elected and reversed those injustices. Enough from Quebec already, they are very privileged to be part of Canada.

As far as the West is concerned they whine about being left out of the corridors of power yet they don't really participate in federal politics. Economic times have changed in the West and life is good now. I know because that is where I live. and to suggest that the West is all conservative is nonsense - there is one Lib, one Con, and two NDP provincial gov'ts. And they latest federal seat projections show the liberals sweeping BC. Albertans, like Quebecers, if they were smart would vote for the party that is going to form the gov't. The rest of the country is tired of hearing these two groups whine about their own stupidity.

How about Hans Island. They couod be useful there in asserting Canadian sovereignty and the Danes would not wnat them Anticosti for the Quebeckers.

"Trudeau got elected and reversed those injustices. Enough from Quebec already, they are very privileged to be part of Canada."

Yes and that's why we have the BLOC in Quebec, because they all feel the injustices are reversed. Thank you Mister Trudeau for reversing those injustices.

"As far as the West is concerned they whine about being left out of the corridors of power yet they don't really participate in federal politics."

Isn't that what the west is bitchin' about? Democratic Deficit? The country run by Ontario?The country's government decided after Ontario votes. Living out west,you should get the picture a lot clearer.

I really don't know what you are on about.

Is it the people who live in the Atlantic Region's fault because they live in a different time zone than I do? I mean if that is a complaint there is nothing I can do to help them, without altering the earth's rotation around the sun, and I would rather not try that.

Democratic Deficit - which means what? PR? Is that a Western vs Eastern issue? Not that I have ever heard.

[Canuck E Stan]

You tell me,you say Trudeau got rid of them. If life is so grand in Quebec why are they wanting to get out of Canada?

Quebecers have already voted twice within the past 25 years to stay as part of Canada with rigged questions, and rigged voting, which we have all read and heard about.

But hey, anytime they wish to vote again, best out of five referendums, let's go for it!

Recently there was a report about what big whiners Canadians are, perthaps 4th highest in the world. I can believe it.

Many years ago, very young, I remember returning to Canada after a long trip abroad and telling a friend that Canadians had nothing to complain about.

My friend's answer? "Maybe we Canadians have such a good life because we complain so much."

Nowadays, that argument doesn't work. Canada is falling behind, and Canadians don't know it.

The people living in northern North America can do better. We can organize our affairs better. Better for ourselves, and better for others in our world.

[Canuck E Stan]

So Mirror, what are the injustices in Quebec that Trudeau got rid of?

[mirror]

Hans Island, now that's a good suggestion, otherwise how about Toronto?

[Renegade]

We complain alot but do nothing about it. Canadians can have way too much done to them, and they will complain and grumble but then not take action.

An adler on line poll suggests that given the chance people would decide that there would be no country.

“If Canada now consisted of 9 provinces, and the province you live in were ‘today’ holding a referendum on whether or not to ‘join’ Canadian confederation, would you vote “yes” or “no”

Yes to Join Confederation 5.54 %

No ...Not interested in Joining Canada 65.68 %

This is a destructive question. Canada is indivisble and questions like this contribute nothing positive to the evolution of a great country.. 5.17 %

It's about time we had a serious discussion of whether or not we want be involved with confederation. 23.62 %

You and Adler are a prefect fit for the Western Block party. Don't let us keep you from signing up!

[B. Max]

Best you be the one who keeps a bag packed. We might send you to cuba on their official air line. Air innertube.

Forums like this mainly attract those who are dissatisfied with the current leadership. People who are (for the most part) content do not come as they don't really have anyting to complain about.

Anyway they are a big pain in the butt to the rest of us, and I was thinking where could we send them, what part of Canada should we deport them to, until such time they come to their senses.

Such a lovely country it would be, eh, mirror, if you could only get rid of all those "malcontents", those who are against SSM, those conservatives, those seperatists, those westerners. Such room you'd have with no one here but you and the rest of the CBC's loyal following!

People like you drone on endlessly of your love for Canada. Yet you despise almost all the people who actually live here.
