You sound a little frustrated...@ Anon. at 9:50 PM,<br /><br />You sound a little frustrated yourself.<br /><br />What does Quebec contribute to Canada that compensates for the billions of dollars of charity that it receives every year? Instability?<br />Racist language laws?

WE have had it with Kebec period. We are sick and tired of the bankrupt; have not, welfare province and its anti-English language laws (bills 22, 178, 101…), sick and tired of the expensive charter, bilingualism, multiculturalism…all forced upon the country by scum bag Quebecers, Trudeau….<br /><br />This separatist bs, is just blackmail and has been for decades.<br /><br />Separate but remember one thing, learn the word partition, because you will be leaving with a much smaller province and a hell of a lot of debt, like it not.

Having said that, the Editor could probably win also despite his fiercely anti-Quebec attitudes if he was the only third option to Jean and Pauline. It is very clear that Quebeckers just want someone new.<br /><br />My one "expert opinion" prediction that I will allow myself to make is this. All die hard separatists, every last one of them, will vote during the next provincial election. After seeing their Bloc decimated they will not be apathetic. They will try to prevent the same fate for the PQ. The only question will be wether there are enough separatists to challenge the, time-for-a-change voters.BlueWhiteRednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-14946518531966136832011-05-10T03:23:52.688-04:002011-05-10T03:23:52.688-04:00Editor, you forgot Door #4, None of the above. Th...Editor, you forgot Door #4, None of the above. The level of fed uppedness (for lack of a better term) due to all the corruption and disappointment (broken promises) may lead to voter paralysis, a.k.a. apathy.<br /><br />Our society has undergone some sort of devolution of order. It's not all bad as an increasing portion of the population has improved its educational status, but it makes our society more complicated.<br /><br />I'm not suggesting that thinking for ourselves is worse, just more complicated. Our society until about a half century ago used to be pretty compliant and listen to our "betters", i.e., politicians, doctors and captains of industry. In Quebec, add the Roman Catholic church.<br /><br />As we all know, the societyh of the 60s broke and changed all the rules. Quebec broke from the Church, women's lib evolved, there was greater labour strife between workers and management, especially where unions prevailed, and students held protests in universities like never before, some of them violent.<br /><br />By the 70s, the Leave it to Beaver days of earlier were thrown out the window. Ward Cleaver, the patriarch of the family, just like Jim Anderson on Father Knows Best, always seemed to have the answers. There was a time only Daddy's signature counted on the kids' report cards, but by the 70s, either parent's signature was acceptable. Marital breakdowns didn't make Daddy always around to sign.<br /><br />Both parents more often started to go to work. June Cleaver wasn't always around with her apron-clad dress with the tray of milk and cookies anymore when the kids came home from school. Kids started to lash their tongues at adults, mostly because they had to fend for themselves, and where older siblings had to look out for the younger ones, they at times were thrown into adult situations, having to make adult decisions.<br /><br />Four decades later, we're in the world of today. Everybody is forced to think for themselves, kids now live by agendas (music lessons, play dates, cadets, soccer practice) and don't spontaneously meet and play pickup sports, hide and go seek, tag, or even board games.<br /><br />Our PC's (those old things?), laptops, even phones are now agenda setters, watches and libraries. Snail mail has been replaced by fax, e-mail and now texting. To think I was so amazed in the 1980s when I could send photocopies over a phone line. Do people actually still talk on phones? Wasn't that all they were good for?<br /><br />Changing societies, changing technology, changing voters. Where does it end?Mississauga Guynoreply@blogger.com
