August1991 Posted September 28, 2023 Report Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Some of us are born French-speaking and others are English-speaking. Native born? We are also mostly Catholics, and others Protestants. In Canada, we have managed these differences through a federal State. We get along. ===== Sikhs and Ukrainians? I'm with Pierre Trudeau. I do not want to make Montreal the Danzig of the New World. Edited September 28, 2023 by August1991 Quote
Army Guy Posted September 28, 2023 Report Posted September 28, 2023 So now we are picking out those we deem as unfit or unwelcome...Thats a bit racist don't you think... how does that fit into your version of we are united Canada...but only if your white or from Europe.... The problem with Montreal and the rest of Quebec..., is the French are driving out everyone else...maybe what the English should have done after the battle of the plains of Abraham was to push them into the sea, put them on boats and send them back to France...then maybe we would be united. and richer, well atleast oil provinces.... Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

To me, he has his mother's brains and his father's looks. Justin Trudeau is to single women what Donald Trump is to single guys. All are clueless. Edited September 28, 2023 by August1991 Quote

I do not want to make Montreal the Danzig of the New World. We do not get along Your own province has held seperation referendums because we don't get along. The west utterly hates the east because the east exploited the hell out of the west while deliberately repressing the population growth. Repressing industry and growth in the west still happens. "hate" based crimes are up radically. People are sick of each other. Gay flags are trampled in our streets by children. Families and communites were torn apart completely by how the feds handled covid - those will never be resolved. A peaceful protest had the emergency act called on it. IT was never even ruled illegal as a protest by a judge. Th first nations spent a good hunk of last year ripping down statues and burning churches. Get along? These days we can barely stand each other. IF we 'got along' any more we'd be in a full on civil war Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

True, I would prefer a different arrangement. "Utterly hates"? I disagree. You Albertans are not bombing we people in Quebec. ==== I prefer a Federal Republic of Canada Quote

Quote I prefer a Federal Republic of Canada I'd prefer quebec had left and we didn't have to listen to the whining anymore, but you can't always get what you want. In any case, we don't get along. And that's twice as true for quebec as anyone else. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
August1991 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) As I walked home today, I thought about the various federal leaders that I have known, met. Young, abroad, I recall meeting Pierre Trudeau in Canmore Alberta. I asked him to sign "my book". Trudeau was a smart guy. He flipped to the cover of the book to check - before he signed it. (It was his collection of Cite Libre papers.) ==== We Canadians can and do get along. Edited September 29, 2023 by August1991 Quote

Nationalist Posted September 30, 2023 Report Posted September 30, 2023 I am a Canadian Nationalist. I love Canada. But we have managed to alienate and divide the Canadian people on several fronts. Our leadership federally is more concerned with re-election than in representing all Canadians. It's always been that way. Thus, Ontario and Quebec are the primary concern of federal politics. I hope Polievre is able to bring some common sense to Ottawa. It's way past time that western Canada got a fair shake. 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Dougie, The Seven Years War had two treaties - the Treaty of Hurbertusburg is the more significant. It was a war between Prussia and Austria - about Saxony. === Napoleon - like Hitler in Compeigne - won at Austerlitz. Quote
