I was at a local sports eatery in Quebec i used to frequent, listening to a bunch of old hockey fans i knew rather well, and they were crapping on the city of Montreal really badly, and praising Quebec City up, so i asked them why they loved Quebec City and hated Montreal so much? They said (and i quote) " Because it's white, and it's French". That pretty much said it all right there...

listen, i have no issues with french or francophones. seperatists or not. but it's kind of like being gay. be who you are and do what you want. just don't impose yourseves on the rest of us.

Not according to QP, but not unlike the rest, it is likely because i said it and not someone else, had anyone else said it, he simply would have agreed.

So exactly how english canada feels about Quebec then?
- shinebox

If so.. why do you have a problem with Quebec seperating ?

Why would francophones want to stay with intolerant canadians like you ?

It's not ethnophobia rob, we want them to actually integrate Québec, not get into ghettos and stick with the other immigrants. We want them to become Québécois, to learn what our culture is and accept our values. We don't ask them to drop theirs though, unless they come into conflict with ours.We want them to learn the official language, we don't ask them to stop teaching their mother language to their kids.

I speak for myself, but I don't want to see the english language prohibited here, but rather taught early on at school, so we have a bilingual province country.

i like you qp. i really do. but that line alone just reinforces my point.


in the meantime, i'm really bummed that galchenyuk can't play for russia in this pretend re-enactment of the 1972 summi series.

Well dude I've got to say I'd much rather live in Québec City.

Mainly because Québec is a big village, and doesn't have the same cachet.

Got to say though that when I went to Stade Saputo beside the olympic village, I was very impressed by the beauty of the area (Rosemont).

Must be pretty expensive though.
