Country:  | Heh. I hear what you're saying believe me, and I wholeheartedly agree. Problem is, not enough do or are willing to stand united on it. As people, we will stand up for ourselves when tested. You push us and we'll push back, there's no question. But as a nation there's little pride left. It's not only reflected in the military (what's left), but in just about every department. Education, industry, the arts, health care, name it. The years of liberalism have really taken a toll.
On the provincial level there tends to be a real sense of identity and bonding among the people, but we can't seem to get our act together as a country. As I said, we're divided. Not just Québec vs. everyone else, but east vs. west, west vs. central, central vs. everyone. We don't have a strong sense of kinship or identity amongst ourselves and no clear goals. But so many will act as if nothing is wrong. We're kidding ourselves. |

Country: | That's because everyone wish to put his own system to the parliament...
West want a US-like gouvernment.
Ontario want to stay as it is.
Québec wants a bunch of pinkos to run the country... Worst, they want their own country.
New-Brunswick is a little more on the right than Québec but it is working for free health cares like in Québec.
East can't live on it's own so they need anyone that could help them.
Conclusion... We're screwed up. | |

Country: | As my dad likes to say, we in the east have the most inept politicians of the lot. The people out this way are fighters, you'd better believe that. Just fire up a Bluenoser or a Newf and see what you get. Yet we seem to pick the worst dumb f*cks as premiers! I'll give Danny Williams credit though, he's got nuts! He's standin' up for Newfoundland and Labrador like a man possessed! 
John Hamm on the other hand.  Only John Savage was a worse Nova Scotian premier, and what a helluva mess he made. In my opinion, the best premier in the country is Ralph Klein of Alberta. He knows how to manage things. Alberta is the wealthiest province for a reason. Things get done and done right. | |

Country: | Hence the big boot in the ass I was talking about earlier. I hear ya man. Maybe it'll wake a few people out of their deluded fog. I don't think it'll take anything less to set us straight, I honestly don't. It really is sad. | |
