we didn't go into Iraq with the US not just because the French Canadians didn't like the idea and they run our capital city of Ottawa now, but because we technically could not do it.

Who knows maybe George knew the truth anyways?
I tend to believe that it was more like our prime minister read all the reports we didn't get to see and he knew what we all know now.
As far as North America being run by the US .. hahahahaha. Not in the west, we're fighting them tooth and nail. We never used to get the back up from Ottawa though and now we're finally starting to. There's plenty of talk of BC and Alberta leaving Canada if Ottawa doesn't smarten up so ya, the West is strong, which will it make it more difficult in the long run for the French to call the shots

I think the french shot themselves in the foot in Canada. They were so desparate to save themselves they decided the smart move would be to take over the political process in Canada and that would save them. The reality has been that they are now strongly disliked by most people outside their borders and their province is still in threat of decay.
the only way to ensure survival of any culture is via economics but Quebecers have been slow to pick up on that.

I'm not sure myself, but if Quebec speaks french than they might be in a world of hurt of the english speakers around them don't like them. Perhaps their being shelled by Neo Canadian Communes?

West is strong ? Yes, but the strongests Province in Canada is Ontario/Qu�bec/BC ( Not really in that order) . BC and Alberta are not the only province who want to seperate from Ottawa, Qu�bec and "Terre Neuve" ? want to do so. As I am french Canadian I can tell you that the day you will see a province seperating from Canada it will be mine.
Last referendum : 49 % Yes
51 % No
That wont be difficult.

With all due respect Salem, your referendum didn't mean much even then. You guys refused to take your debt with you which is the only reason you didnt leave. A debt which I might add is the highest of all the provinces, with ON right behind you. BC and Alberta are the ones getting shafted from federal funds. And the ONLY airport in Canada not losing money is the one in BC!
I think if BC and Alberta left Canada, they would have no problem taking their debts with them .. heck Alberta is doing so well it wouldn't even be an issue. The only thing is that if these two provinces were to leave, they would most likely join the US ... and, well that could certainly make things interesting.

Text Black The fact that no one has replied to your query regarding canada and how "the retarded giant at America's footsteps" will fare in the New World Order should tell you something. Canada, as far as the United States is concerned, is inconsequential. Canadians are miners, lumberjacks, oil riggers and farmers -- slaves who havn't taken the "RED PILL" yet. They are slave laborers who, because of excellent (sic) entertainment on television, stronger beer and liberalized marijuana policies, don't know it or don't care or both. This reply didn't even need to be this long but, frankly, I started feeling rather sad for you as your query was going unanswered. And, perhaps, you really hadn't figured it out yet. Again, to restate, Canada doesn't mean anything to the U.S.....so let the Hockey begin.....business is being taken care down South, eh?

resources? what resources? Quebec manufactures more than any other province, thats about all you got going for you. You are the most populated and you get the most money back from federal taxes, yet you have the highest debt! And you say it's because Ottawa isn't helping you? Give me a break!
This entire nation thinks Quebec is getting hand outs!
We don't dislike you because you wanted to leave, heck we were rooting right along with you for you to all leave! We dislike your province because it is spoiled and continues to whine like a baby!
As for the french not liking you, there's the usual joke that they don't like how you've bastardized the language

Quebec is a financial and cultural welfare case.
That is the only reason it has survived this long.
I'm not aware that US would not trade with you people but they wouldn't kiss your butts like the ROC (rest of Canada), have to.
Regards Europe, they are goin' down!
MessedUPAnnie,
what you never seen the factories in Ontario?

And he's not the only one thinking like that.
You see neo, the fact that you're constantly critizising our culture without yourself having one only reflect your ignorance and your jealousy.
As for our economical welfare stop dreaming, relax your pathetic constipated fascist racist a$$ and maybe you'll be able to see that we're far from be a wekfare.
You see I talk french and I will continu to do so.
I'm 6,2
