The song is about suicide and I believe he is saying something like "To all my friends this is the last I will ever say" or somethign like that. Great song though.

Check this out. They work like dogs when cornered like rats, don't they?
Not even a whisper about a defence increase though.

And as I've said before, I don't always agree with the Conservative Party.

If only the Meech Lake accord had been successful. Admittedly, Québec certainly is a distinct society. We English-Canadians are fools if we can't admit that. They speak the French language and the culture there is of course rooted in that of their French fore-bearers. It makes perfect sense. They even practice the French civil law system, unlike the rest of Canada which has a legal system based on British common law. But to allow them separate representation on the world stage on events that pertain to Canada as a whole? No way, man. When it comes down to it, we're either a country or we're not. Despite the cultural differences (which aren't that great, by the way), we've been able to muddle our way through so far, and Québec has enjoyed a fair amount of autonomy as it is over the last forty years or so. More funding?! That sounds like a familiar tune! Only it was the Liberals singing to it up 'till now! Harper needs to either piss or get off the pot! Do we want Québec as a part of Canada or don't we?!

Seriously now, we've (English-Canada) met the sovereigntists halfway in almost everything over the last few decades. Draw the f*cking line already!

I mean no offence Maestro and Sunny, but come on. We're all Canadians, aren't we?

[102first_hussars]

No offense Maestro but I want Quebec to separate, cuz if they do it would be a huge weight off our shoulder.

[Maestro]

Well, what I see in Harper's speech is a "swing to kick harder". Let me explain...

Everyone know that Québec is famous for being a bunch of drunk Frenchy bitching everyone for everything and threatening to leave... Like a bitchy wife... "You better do as I say or I'll sue for a divorce."

So what about the husband (English-Canada) ? Everyone knows that BC and Alberta can easily live on their own. So what I suspect is that Harper is giving more and more "freedom" to Québec to kick us out of Canada.

You just proved what I said. But you were quicker on the button than I...

Speak for yourself, Alberta boy! Prepare for the mass migration of Nova Scotians, New Brunswickers, PE Islanders, and more Newfs than you can handle, because if Québec leaves this neck of the woods will be folding fast. You think the oil fields employ a lot of Maritimers now? Wait for it.
We be po, y'know!

Also, with Québec out of the loop, where do you think Ottawa's gonna turn their eyes for some easy revenue to boost up the economy in the aftermath? You guessed it. Alberta.

I'm telling you guys, it will just be the beginning of the end if Québec leaves. This entire place will fold like a house of cards. I'm sure of it.

[102first_hussars]

Not really, you see the Liberal government has always concentrated most of its effort towards pleasing Toronto and other Liberal 'infiltrations' around Ontario, However Quebec has always been a bunch of what I call "Insurance Voters" to ensure The Liberals stay in power forever, The Liberals have always Alienated Quebec politicaly, financially and socially but during an election campain the Liberals will promise to "Include them", "treat them as one of their own" and the Quebekers are seduced by it, the campain effort towards Quebec by the Liberals is only for those so called "Insurance Votes" the Liberals cant live by them or else they will lose support in Toronto, so what do the Liberals do? They go to Quebec for a campaign in which they only speak french (so Ontario voters don catch wind of it) and promote all sorts of Bull **** such as Social Unity, Multiculturism and make phony promises, but when they hit Toronto they will say " We will not give into to theyre demands, we will not allow them to separate OR! be happy for that matter, those french pigs will be a Canadian province forever and ever and they will never get 1 red cent for their Superior Education and Child Care system.

Harper is not gradually phasing Quebec out of Canada I just see him making clear and cut promises that promote Social Unity so public and so detailed that he really cannot get away with breaking, I would like to see Quebec on a world stage, Its not an uncommon thing to see provoncial
representitives speak before world leaders on certain subjects, B.C. represents itself around the world when it comes to promoting its Computer Graphics ( and everything related to computers) school.

Well more than likely you guys would die one by one during the long walk through Saskatchewan and then mistake Alberta for still being Saskatchewan and keep walking right into B.C in which you guys would mistake Vancouver for Regina and keep walking STRAIGHT INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN!!! AHHHH HA HA HA HA!

Actually I wouldnt mind having Maritmers in Alberta, just as long as they can get used to the new law restricting smoking on all public property.

Maestro Said-

Correct me if I'm wrong, but any Cuban-born human is considered as a "refugee" as soon as he land on American territory, right ? Wish it was the same way with Canadians... I would "jump over the fence" so quick that you would think hungry lions are running after me.

Hell there isnt even a fence, theres just a chalk line (You may have to jump over that though depending on how short you are

Just dont drink the water on the American side!!! thats Lake Erie man, One time I washed my hands with that stuff MY HANDS WERE GLOWING IN THE DARK FOR A WEEK!!!!! and now I have Thyroid Cancer

[Nonskimmer]

We have the same strict smoking restrictions here already. About the only place you're allowed to smoke in public is in your car. There are already lots of east coasters out your way too. Been out to the oil rigs lately? More Newfies there than on the rock. (Newfoundland )

I'm not against the provinces representing themselves internationally in matters that pertain to them directly. Nova Scotia does it too. Hell, even PEI does it. Everyone does. I don't agree with Québec having a voice apart from the rest of us in matters of a national scale, however. That's what Ottawa is for. Provincial input on such matters is one thing, but like Martin said in the article, a nation speaks with one voice and one voice only.

Either put 'em in line or let 'em go, but this is getting f*cking ridiculous. Enough of this halfway pseudo-sovereignty crap. If this is how we're gonna continue to treat Québec, we might as well just end the misery now.

Is that better?

Once Canada disintigrates, the US will absorb the provences and make them into states.

[Nonskimmer]

Yeah right. Half the time the US doesn't even want Maine or Delaware.

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

They would first have to find the provinces on a map....
