Motion on Quebec issue?
822782
Great question! Clear and concise, which is more than what I can say for a lot of the propaganda that's on this site.\n\n1: This is probably the hardest of the 3. On one hand, this motion is really a step towards sovereignty. By recognizing that Quebec's a nation, even if in a united Canada, plants a seed of doubt into everyone's minds. However, This motion really is a compromise (which we need more of, I'm just saying) and I'm hoping that it'll get those separatists to just stop at least for a couple more decades. \n\n2: Other groups are different in some ways, but that depends on how you define "rest of us." If you mean "British Caucasians", then yes they're different. But if you mean "Canadians" then no they're not. Unlike the US, Canada is what a lot like to call a "cultural mosaic", in which many individual cultural groups help make Canada what it is. I don't support Quebec sovereignty in the first place, simply because its part of Canada whether it likes it or not\n\n3: I think Canada's still going to be stable. We're not exactly the most interesting country, but we are usually quite mellow. We'll get over it soon enough.

Good God, NO! We'll take the sane English-speaking provinces, not the lunatic French one. Those people are insufferable and have nearly ruined Canada.\n\nI'm just trying to figure out why so many non-Quebecois want to keep those loonies as part of your country? I'd have let those deranged semi-frogs loose long ago.

I am not familiar with the concept of "issue" - must be Canadian.

No, he pretty much put the bloc/party Quebecois in big problem since the refusal of the federal government to accept Quebec has a nation was there last way to make Quebecois feel like an "oppressed minority".\n\nWith the Quebec as a nation and french has an official language, the sovereignty movement can no longer use Quebec patriotism to further there cause.  This will be a lot harder to get people to support sovereignty with only logical argument.

That's a broad question that is still not resolved in Quebec today.  It's the collide of two cultural identities French and English.  Before the quiet revolution French people were "opressed" by the richer and more educated English people.  French-Canadians got fed up with it and wanted to create their own nation.  They created the Parti Québécois in the province and the Bloc Québécois at the federal level to further the interests of French-CAnadians.  We actually had two referendums one in 1980 and 1995, both were lost by a small margin and another will probably take place in the future.

Outside of Quebec the advertiser can speak directly to children... that could be considered a pro.  Bring on Saturday morning cartoon commercial breaks!

It's pure semantics, while Quebec is not a nation within a united Canada it is not legally a nation.  Not even legally a nation within Canada.   What this effectively accomplished was giving Quebec a fancy title and a new distinction.\n\n\nEven as such I am offended that the government would bestow a higher status on some of it's citizen than others.   Creating a division in the country will only serve to offend most Canadians while pacifying a few.  \n\nI think we should all be a little upset that out government recognizes some it it's citizens as more unique or important than other.\n\nI have nothing against french Canadians,  they are a unique culture, just as the first nations, just as some east coast communities. Canada is full of varying cultures.   \n\nI also wonder how this applies to the french Canadian communities outside of Quebec.   There are many scattered throughout Canada, should they be granted nation status as well?\nShould they secede from their current province and join Quebec?\n\nHow will this be handled within Quebec's large anglophone community.   Is their status being diminished because they are not members of the french community?  Many have ancestry dating back to the inception of Quebec and Canada.  \n\nNot to mention First Nations persons.  Will they have diminished recognition withing Quebec regardless of them being unquestionably the first inhabitants of the land.  Also with them having a drastically unique and beautiful culture, will this make it difficult for them to carry on tradition and have recognition through the "nation" of Quebec?.    Is there room to celebrate other cultures within a Franco centric Quebec?\n\nI am a little troubled by how ill though out this bill was and what little time the government gave the Canadian population for voice their opinion on such an important matter.   Today I am one annoyed Canadian.

After what happened at Ipperwash, the OPP are being a little bit more reserved, especially considering all of the media attention Caledonia is getting.\n\nWe need to get back to public order, similar to Oka Quebec. bring in the military to control the situation, then work on a peaceful solution.\n\nRottontothecore: does this mean we should give the entire North America back? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.?!?!

C'est tout simplement inacceptable.\nSégolène ROYAL fraîchement choisie pour représenter le PS doit condamner ces propos et demander l'exclusion de ce c.....

Interesting you should ask this today. I live up in Canada and this was the topic of discussion on one of our local radio talk shows. The consensus is that the polls are showing he is a lame duck.

Bonjour Steve,\n\nPour le moment c'est un peu le statut quo : rien n'a changé. La plupart des coureurs incriminés avant le départ du Tour à Strasbourg n'ont pas été poursuivi : leurs fédérations ont classé les dossiers sans suite faute de nouveaux éléments irréfutables au dossier. C'est par exemple le cas de Botero ou de Basso.\n\nCertains des coureurs incriminés, on ainsi retrouvé des équipes : Basso, Contador et Paulinho à la Discovery, Ullrich en contacts avancés avec Tinkoff (quelque chose a été signé?), Botero chez Orbitel, Bernabeu dans la nouvelle équipe espagnole ... D'autres ont du mal à retrouver une équipe : Beloki, les frères Osa, Plaza, Mancebo ...\n\nManolo Saiz et lui pour le moment à l'écart du peloton. Mais comme il possède une licence Pro Tour et a encore des coureurs sous contrat (les ex de la Liberty Seguros), il y a quelques problèmes pour le mettre définitivement hors jeu.\n\nNéanmoins, pour finir sur une lueur d'espoir, les équipes semblent réagir suite à cette affaire : plusieurs ont imposé à leurs coureurs des tests ADN, d'autres se refusent de recruter des coureurs impliqués ...

Pour répondre à Le luzien, tu dis qu'il n'y a pas d'étrangers en championnat néo-zélandais, et bien c'est complètement faux! La moitié de l'équipe nationale est composée de joueurs étrangers (en provenance de Tonga, Fidji, Samoa et autres îles du pacifique).\nC'est d'ailleurs un gros problème puisqu'ils épuisent ainsi les autres nations du pacifique!

plusieurs solutions et aides possibles.\nPour la famille dans son entier, il faut voir avec la CAF.\nLes conseils généraux accordent aussi pour la plupart des bourses aux sportifs sur liste.\nAu niveau du minsitère de la jeunesse des sports et de la vie associative il existe des soutiens, pour cela je t'invite à entrer en contact avec la direction régionale de  la jeunesse et des sports.\nCa devrait aller.

Finally, a REAL issue (sarcasm).\n\nMaybe you won't be happy until we are in the same predicament as the French.
