3. Indeed.  Cirque du Soleil will make you laugh until you cry.  Daniel Lanois, and Denis Villeneuve and Denis Arcand and Celine Dion are amazing also.

Who??? Oh yeah, the circus that is in Las Vegas casinos and  Celine Dion, the singer that lives in Florida and Las Vegas.

If you can quote me the Albertan equivalent, the one that exports multibillion dollar culture product, please inform me.

Albertan??

35K posts must mean you have no life Michael LOL

Anyway, Quebec means very little to most Canadians, exceptions are Quebecers themselves and politicians.

Quebecers because they think of nothing else except themselves.

Politicians because they have to suck up to Quebec because of some idiotic legislation has has outlived it's reasoning and usefulness.

Je me souviens too because I remember how much we have to suck up to Quebec.

In Canada, the lowest GDP per capita is in PEI. The highest is the NWT.

The NWT has about 2.5 times the GDP per capita of the PEI. So, while Canada is a large country by distance, its various people have an average standard of living that is similar.

And by the way, Canada has two federal official languages. But we have no official culture.

Alberta's brilliant innovation is they drill holes in the ground...  I'm being flippant of course...

Yes! and they pay for their own drills. If Quebec drilled holes the ROC would be paying. They would also modify the drills to speak French so ending up with just half a hole

You can't deny that Quebec is and always will be the spoiled child of Canada.

And Quebec politicians have the gall to shit all over the oil and gas industry which is their golden goose.

Where are the billions? This “country” is a farce.

That is exactly what Canadian taxpayers are asking all the time.

The farce is the indigenous and their leadership. Generational welfare and no improvement in their society in a hundred years.

What is it you do not understand about indigenous generational welfare?

With few exceptions, the indigenous of this country have been given everything, from housing to facilitates to financial aid, not to speak of everything else that every Canadian gets. An entire society that lives off the backs of taxpayers.

You are the very first reason why so much things go wrong in this country. You are totally blinded by you hatred schema.  The most ironic in your saying is that you blame the others of what YOU do. You took natives' sovereignty, stuck them into reserves and take away resources from them without proper compensation. To maintain them into their dependency state, you grant to their individuals some benefits. Despite you are the big winner overall, you blame them for the little you give them only because you regret that your ancestors just did not erase them from the surface of the world.

Same thing with Quebec. You start with vouching for our worst politicians because they are the best well placed to screw the Quebecers but, in the same breathe, you blame the very same politicians for sucking the country's wealth and drown it to Quebec. Not only you do not assume your choices but, you are so blind that you cannot figure out the money goes in the pockets of the politicians' "friends" list that is funding the big machine, you still think despite all evidences that it is the people of Quebec that benefits from it.

What is sad about you is that you are using your hatred to the natives and the Québécois to blind yourself from the reality. This reality is that you are nothing but a poor STOOGE serving the system that advantages the establishment at your expense. You are the pawn of the neo-liberalism and you are too ignorant to understand that are sacrificed for the benefits of people more rich than you.

Your imagination cannot size how much weak and shabby you are to our eyes. We actually feel happy that you hate everyone because it makes you waste your pitiful life doing something that consumes you inside. Go and drown into your own stupid hate. Shoot me another of your blame, like if anyone gives a sh!t about it.

Firstly, there is no hatred. You snowflakes don't like being talked to with anything other agreeing with your opinions.

Others may not think like you and they are equally as eligible to have an opinion

I have, in all my years, made the observations that lead to my comments. I have travelled top to bottom and East to Wet in this country. In big cities, small towns, villages and reservations too.

In this cancel and apologetic culture the thing to do is give and apologize and if the apology is not enough then give more.

The indigenous of this country are full aware of this and take maximum advantage of it. They were conquered and thus they became the conquered. They know what this is all about because they themselves did this amongst and to other tribes for millennia before the "white man" even came to this continent. Are they paying reparations to the tribes they conquered, wiped out or enslaved? No? Then why not?

The indigenous have done nothing except take. If you can show me other wise, please do. I am not talking about culture because dancing is only a tourist attraction.

Same goes for the French in Quebec. They lost yet they are taking full advantage of the spoils of war except they were losers. Maybe back then it showed that Canadians felt sorry for losers too and gave them guaranteed privileges even though they lost. The Americans had it right, you lost so, you lose.

Many lands, cultures, peoples, countries have lost wars throughout history, and they adapted, integrated and thrived. In Canada, we either have very weak peoples or or governments or both. To have 2 groups that were  and are allowed to suck the teat in perpetuity is sad, very sad of those entire cultures.

Quebec, well, 8.5 million people and all the industrial regional benefits that Quebec gets and they still remain a have not province? Gimme a break.

Quebec has learned how to play the game just as the indigenous have.

No hate. Those are observations I have made and my opinions about my observations.

That’s an answer?  LOL

 

If the indigenous people of Canada are getting everything they want, then why are they so much poorer than the rest of us?

If you get everything you want, why take care of it as if it breaks or craps out you just get a new one.

I have seen out of gas snow machines on the ice in Clyde RIver sink when the ice melts instead of filling them up and bringing them to shore.
