Daniel,
I find your statement a little confusing.
Mind you, I find the whole sovereignty issue a bit confusing.
I can understand that Quebec feels they should be a distinct society, I just find it a bit odd that no one has been able to put forth a plan that will work. I wish Quebec would suck it up and realize that it's not a cakewalk for anyone and that to be a part of the fold is better than trying to go alone. How would Quebec ever support itself?
Happy to be a Canadian even if it means that not all of us gets all we want.
From the left coast,
Cal

But BC, properly run might have a chance. Natural resource extraction along with renewable resourses, being a deep sea port and tourism puts us 2nd to Alberta in viability.
That being said, I would never wish for that. I am proud to be a Canadian. I do not consider myself to be a BC'er. I wish the rest of the country felt that way.

Nope, it's SupraGuy that told me(He's mostly active on ESP forum).
Him too.
I don't want to separate too, actually there are reasons, better than
400 years ago . . .
Yeah, but what about these Frenchs in New Brunswick or Louisiane, they don't have any problems with this!
We talk a different language
Yeah, good reason to stay with Canada, it helps expansions of French(People outside here start learning it).

Those french are Acadian (Cajun and Acadian have the same origins) French and are as different from Quebecois as Parisienne are from Quebecois. Their beef is with England (for the expulsion that created the Cajuns and others), not Canada 😉

BC could be quite profitable. It could join Afganistan(among others) in the world exportation of marijuana in order to support it's society. Or just bump up the size of the current crop.
Bump up the crop Cunningham?
Our neighbourhoods already stink from the stuff.
Not to mention the bags discarded on the side of the road. Remember when those bags used to be from someone too damn lazy to take their garbage to the dump? Now they're bags of leaf, er, excuse me it's called compost now. The stuff that used to be sold to us school kids in the sixties and seventies. Now it's garbage.
Things have changed.
Our stuff is a little different than Afghan. The difference between outdoor wild grown and indoor climate controlled grown is a little hard to describe. Comparatively, ours is a weapon of mass distruction vs. their sticks and stones. Unfortunately, there is little hope of the Afghan people acquiring the equipment necessary to improve the quality up to that of hydroponically grown.
I wish the Afghans had a means of doing it. They could sure use more financial help and it does seem to make a lot of people a lot of money. If think if I were in a position to lose everything, I might consider going in to the business. 😉

Even though I live in the US, I do know the difference between indoor and outdoor. MMmmm hydro. As for outdoor, there are some good hillsides in West Virginia(and other local states) if you can keep the deer from eating it. There are ways. I believe genetics accounts for a lot. Some strains produce better in different environments. Some are good for growing 30 ft trees. This is how hillbillies hide there stash. Cops look for fields, they find no fields. Just one here, one there, one way over 3 hills away... you get the point. White oak trees do come in handy for camo against search choppers for hiding big trees. Pine trees work too, but the soil they like is not great to the liking of canibus.
Of course, I know nothing of this subject. 🙄 🙄
PS Everyone should have thier own Photo-tron. 😀
As for the Afgans, until the government over there can come up with the funds, and the infrastructure to subsidise legitamate farm crops(like food) the farmers will always profit from narcotics production. And the terroist organizations(among others) will always profit from the traffic.

Sorry, but please do not come here - canada is FULL.
And anyway - just wait a few years and you can follow the troops to get here when georgie boy has let destroy most of the clean watersupply and you have to tap our water resources to stay afloat.
BTW - even democrat senators are not different from those "holy" republicans. After stealing from our lumber industry severel billions by the means of an illegal duty ( confirmed as such by the WTO) and asked to return it, this senatorial crook now wants to push through a law that would make it illegal to return that money to its rightful owners. That means in the USA it will become legal duty to steal.
Not that I am surprised - I actually expected nothing better from a bully, its just somtimes one doesn't want to see one expectations fulfilled.
All I can say again - Americans are not Welcome to Canada. And according to the state of their education, most wouldn't find it anyway.

Audio-Kraut -- do not confuse the US government with the typical US citizen.
I'll disagree... i figure any American that decides it is time to get out of the US* is the kind of immigrant Canada can use -- and with our birthrate in Canada, if we don't pump up immigration we are going to go backwards.
*typically well eductaed & smart
I welcome you with open arms.

sorry i do not agree - when the majority of 51% elects a president that did what he did and still not call for an accounting of the mess he produced either in or outside the country, that believes he still the supports international treaties while he is tearing them up, that still believes he cooperates with nations when the only nations left to cooperate have to be either lied to or bullied into this cooperation - then I say f... you and stay where you are, do not move!
Please be aware that the germans - of whose tribe i was one - had to bear the full consequences for what they did - and that A. Hitler was only elected with 32% of the vote! So, under the circumstances - why should I excuse the american citizen who calmly permits his president to slaughter 100 000 civilians in a country that never threatened them and still finds this completely justifiable, who in the process of an illegal war kills ap. 800 more in falluja and then goes ahead and prevents the red cross from helping said civilians?
And who clearly wants to go ahead and destabilize even more of the region in a drive to establish "democracy". What a bloody arrogance to try to rule other nation's lives, especially when the hypocracy is so thick it can be used to grease the tanks with.
No, no excuse for the american populace - stay where you are, and those disagreeing with present policies - stay and fight - enough german "lefties and unionists" sacrificed their lifes too to stop Hitler, so - use this as an example.

audio-kraut,
Canada is not full.
seien Sie nicht ein Scheiskopf (online translation)
Aren't you an immigrant yourself? Weren't you glad that you were accepted by those in this country? Is that right exclusive to you?
denken Sie, bevor Sie urteilen

dear kraut, i'm an ausie, you seem to be one as well.
but you forget something: the people who would move to canada(their majority at least) are not reds(not part of those 51%). don't you think you're wrong?

Personally, i am 2nd gen Canadian, but my gradnfather came from Austro-Hungary via the eastern US, and the other side of the family includes American Indian blood and Jesse James.... Canada thrives on immigration -- and why not -- take the best from other countries & pump up the average, increase diversity (ie hybrid vigor), and keep the population from shrinking.
Canada is larger than the US with 1/10th the population. except for a narrow band along the border it is mostly empty... and with global warming the frigid north is going to become more & more habitable (not good for Eskimos, cariboo, & polar bears, but good for Floridians who find their state mostly under water)
