Make money, thank you for your comment, but you do not understand exactly what I know. But i arrived in right before the federal election and I remember feeling warm and fuzzy about being here, very happy that year. I did research, tons of it, I know the history well and I know the contribution that the french canadian population has made to Canada as a whole, including giving us some of our best prime ministers.
I agree with you that in the rest of the country no one speaks french and most miss the childhood french classes, which is a shame, why call ourselves a bilingual nation when that's far from true.
But I can't help being a passionate federalist, I believe in a united Canada, and I believe Quebec can thrive within it. The separatist cause is something I had sympathy for 2 years ago but not now, not once I had met enough of them and listened to their views. What they want will harm many people and help very few, it is fundamentally a selfish and tribal response to a real problem.
I support bill and did so in but I do not support the attitude of us vs them that i see promoted around since the pq came to power. Islam will always be a death cult to me, but and this is a big but, Quebec is not europe, there is no large scale islamic migration here and it is unlikely that there will be, the charter was not written to curb islamisation, it does not make a distinction between a christian cross or a hijab, and while I am against face veils and would support banning those, I see in this secularization charter nothing less than political hackery again with the us vs them.
The motives of the pq are not so pure, they are not trying to do good, all they want is division and this policy is simply designed to help that. I know about kenya and pakistan, but it is pointless to debate those here, canadian foreign policy does not have to reflect the views of everyone, the beautiful thing is that our democracy still works and we can vote out those we feel misrepresent us.
Well it sounds like you are just starting to learn about it Natalie. But to have "tearing apart Canada is treason" beside the No vote in your survey is just ludicrous. You've got to be joking. I voted Yes but I think you should have added something like this to it.
First off, they didn't have to earn the right to separate; they have that right without having to earn it. So it should have read, "Yes - of course they have a right to separate but I hope they don't. What you and some other anglophones in Canada need to learn is that Canada has two official languages, French and English. Do you think if a French only speaking Canadian traveled to say Alberta and asked for some help they would receive any help from the average person on the street. Of course not.
This may explain why some French Canadians do not travel much outside of Quebec. Same thing in Quebec, like you said many people in Quebec do not speak English. Then you say some in Quebec do not even try to speak English. Well it goes the other way in the rest of Canada, most anglophones do not even try to speak French. It sounds like you are a little pissed off that you are having to learn how to speak French.
And to some extent it sounds like you are being a little discriminatory against the French language. If you don't like having to learn to speak French in a French speaking Province then don't move to Quebec. It's as simple as that. You may want to learn about how the French Quebecois have contributed to North America, both before and after the Plains of Abraham. Just so you know, I am in Ontario and do not speak French. I seemed to have miss the French classes when I went to school.
I wish I did speak French. If I was around French speaking people, even a few of them then I would learn how to speak French. And also just so you know Natalie, the PQ's charter of values is receiving a lot of support, not just in Quebec but all across Canada. I am old enough to remember the time before the multicultural political correctness was forced on Canadians. Canadians did have a culture back then, a Christian culture. Now we are not even supposed to say Merry Christmas because it may offend some.
Christian prayers have been banned from schools and government buildings because it may offend some. Enough is enough. Meanwhile in places like Saudi Arabia you can be sent to jail for just wearing a cross. And meanwhile we see in the news where bishops are having their heads sawed off, priests, nuns and Christian lay people are killed by the Free Syrian Army terrorists just because they are Christian.
And Christian churches are being desecrated and Christian literature is being confiscated and destroyed by the Free Syrian Army terrorists. Yet our government is supporting the Free Syrian Army. How twisted is that. We are seeing some young people that were born in Canada converting to Islam, getting radicalized in Mosques here in Canada then traveling to Syria to fight for the Al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood backed Free Syrian Army terrorists or traveling to Somalia to fight with the terrorists there.
It makes you wonder how many Muslim terrorist sleeper cells there are in Canada right now. The separatists depart out those who are not Francophone. Their desire to distinct is undemocratic by encompassing those who desire to stay in Canada in a unilateral affirmation of independence. Carens, Discussion and Analysis A unilateral affirmation of self-reliance by Quebec would violate the Creestm values of human privileges, democracy and consent.

Toggle navigation MegaEssays. Saved Essays. Topics in Paper. Since , the question of separatism for Quebec has roiled the country.
Quebec is not only a large part of the country, it is a crucial one in terms of economic and industrial infrastructure. Its separation from Canada would leave a big hole in the middle of one of North America's most important nations, and it is difficult to predict the long-term effects of such a move.
