The outcome will be a new country in North America or the KO that will crush Quebec the way you guys always dreamed of. Either ways it will force Quebec to change its ways. I consider myself a separatist sleeper cell, meaning that I dont spend my days thinking of quebec splitting up but would certainly vote in favor if enough people bother to ask me the question. And a lot of people are like me to, more so that lots of ROCs like to imagine. It will fix the great bug the Canadian matrix has always had with qc not siging the constitution and always pretending it did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-71581464975377086042013-11-28T01:43:41.027-05:002013-11-28T01:43:41.027-05:00Nice Post.

Yannick - I thought about the whole port/fleet issue..it is true but three times the amount of federal workers still seems way way out of line. And why does BC which is also on the ocean only have 50 percent more federal workers than Nova Scotia but about 5 times the population. There are 2.2 million people in Atlantic Canada with 48000 federal workers..there are 5.8 million people in the prairie provinces with 52000 federal workers..something is out of whack here. <br /><br /> I know there is no requirement to space out workers equally. But it seems to me if there was one organization that could try and space its workers more evenly it would be the federal government. They can place many of their operations anywhere really. In the end politics plays a huge role in where certain federal offices or centres end up. And as I noted the differences are staggering..I am not suggesting they try to make it absolutley equitable..its impossible..but it seems way out of line that three times as many federal workers are in Novs Scotia as compared to a province with a higher population (Saskatchewan). <br /><br /> I have a close friend who works in the federal govt and he has told me all sorts of stories of how certain large centres were moved to certain parts of the country simply because of politics..even though all the studies showed they should have been elsewhere. Often a politician got involved to save jobs or a high ranking manager wanted the office to be somewhere convenient to him. These types of decisions happen all the time. <br /><br /> complicatednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-20620966384358304942013-06-13T14:52:20.942-04:002013-06-13T14:52:20.942-04:00student:

She said that "It's unacceptable that the national organization would suspend her province's soccer federation," and "the Quebec soccer body is autonomous, has a right to establish its own rules and is not bound to the Canadian association."<br /><br />Be it as it may, following her logic, does the CSA not have a full <i>right to establish its own rules</i>?
