Alors a ce qu'il parait, les Québécois forment une nation.
Hmmm...
Mais qu'est-ce ca veut dire? Nous sommes une nation, au sein d'une nation, mais nous restons quand meme une province, appartenant a une nation. Mais ce n'est pas le Québec qui est une nation, mais plutot les Québécois, en faisant référence a tous les colons canadiens-francais tout en gardant la possibilité d'inclure le Québécois d'origine non québécoise ce qui, par extension, exclu la possibilité d'un "nationalisme ethnique" et aaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Saying that Quebec is a nation is one thing, I would probably support that, but voting on it is a fucking stupid non-issue. It opens the door to misinterpretation and ambiguity. This will come back to bite us in the ass. 'Hey let's vote on whether or not we support a empty semantically ambiguous claim!'
The dude running for the Liberal leadership who was on the Hour with George Stombon..o...pou..lous made a good point saying that Harper was not sincere about it and was extending his arm to Quebec in a way but not in a constructive one.

I just think that sending separate delegations to events such as the olympics, world championships and the like, for Qc and Can is the dumbest thing.....
Hmmm...I don't think you entirely get the point of the post. But I support your point.

I would also like BC to be recognised as a nation within canada. And I woulnd't mind if Alberta finally distanced itself from the rest of us by calling itself a nation. For that matter, those newfies had better just call themselves a nation, they've been just a little offbeat since 1949. And we all know that Nunavut has been distancing itself from canada since its decision to become an "independent" territory. As a matter of fact, why don't we just drop the ubiquitous terms "province" and "territory" and just start calling these huge tracts of culturally distinct land "Nations". Wow, then instead of our boring old name that everybody has such a hard time associating with, we could become the "United Nations", or get this, the UN. Nobody would ever want to separate from a non-politically charged, catchy country name like that! Quebec, you had the right idea all along! way to go!

Wait, did Québec had the right idea all along? Because it's not a nation, according to Harper; it's the Québécois who are a nation...
hmmm....
And what if a Québécois is going to visit a girl in BC? Is he exporting a part of his nation into the BC nation?
Nation-mixing?

And here goes Harper smiling at the Québécois nation... As a big thank you to a part of the Quebec nation who voted massively for his candidates. Without 10 deputies from Quebec, he would not really have managed to won the election...
And btw since when Canada is a nation? Is has always been a federation of provinces. The Canadian Nation to me just looks like a concept invented by the liberal propaganda while another nation wanted to leave the federation... A nation being defined at least by a common language and heritage, I definitely think Canada falls short on that, when we have some federal unilingual ministers and such... And how much of the Canadian population is really bilingual? 15% 20% Basically, outside Mtl, some of N.B., Ottawa/Gatineau, not many!
Being a country does not necessarily mean being a nation, and vice-versa, those are 2 different concepts.
Tant que j'y vivrai, Montréal sera bilingue. Alors, peu importe qui tu es, n'écrit pas "Outside Montreal", parce que les vrais Montréalais sont bilingues.
Bien vrai, le français est une langue qui est condamnée à mourir, écrasée par un anglais (ou par un chinois) universel. Mais tant que je vivrai, il y aura une personne qui tient à cette merveilleuse langue.
