Of course, at one time, the French of Quebec did have something to ***** about, non?

Just like 20 years ago you had something to ***** about. I guess we'll be dealing with the fallout for the next 300 years or so...

You, and others, reject regional power.

As our own little country, we would have all the power.

What holds Albertans? Why should they stick?

I want us to. I want this thing to work. But when the PM can get up during a national election campaign and use the word 'Alberta' to win votes in Ontario and Quebec, I can't fault people around me for thinking they don't need that ****. I know I don't

Yes, you can look for an uptick in support for seperatists out here. Not much, I hope. But then you never know out here. Like I said, people get pissed off and move their trenches real sudden like. Like I have said before, Alberta won't threaten and then stay. If people get pissed off enough that a vote is held, we're as good as gone.

When he may be PM in six months?

Would you like to bet money on this one? I'll give you 3-1 odds. You send me 10$ if he isn't PM in 6 months, I'll send you 30$ if he is.

Just did a google search for Paul Martin and barbarians at the gate.

Martin didn't say it.

The mayor of Vancouver said it.

Yes, I don't recall Martin saying that the Conservatives were "Nazis". Yes, I missed the reference to "barbarians at the gates".

Even if he did say that, those phrases do not automatically equal westerners. Unless he said westerners are nazis and barbarians.

Martin's words were on health care, and saving it from Alberta.

Others said 'barbarians at the gates', invoked Godwin, or said they would rather not breath the same air as Conservatives. Hateful things, all, and something that most Canadians should hope would not be tolerated. Except that the targets of these things lost, and a scandal ridden party was rewarded with further chances at misgovernance.

You really should pay better attention if you want to post so much about the topic.

Seems to me this is another case of where someone says something you don't like so you blame it on them Easterners.

I simply have a hard time believing that Martin said Westerners were Nazis or barbarians.

But if you have proof let's see it.

[notyoueither]

Seems to me you are dumber than a sack of hammers, and that you can't read the words 'shredded by the PM, or referred to as barbaric or Nazi by others.'

Why donlt you recommence arguing with Ben?

[Nubclear]

Guerre civile au Canada!

[KrazyHorse]

It's funny, because if the mayor of Vancouver mentioned barbarians at the gates then it really isn't a case of Easterners bashing Westerners, now is it...

Straight up Avatar bets.

So far I am 2/2, with Boris left to go in November.

If Harper, or another Conservative leader becomes PM in the next election, you wear an avatar of my choice.

If Harper, or another Conservative leader does not become PM in the next election, I will wear an avatar of your choice.

2 week period.

[KrazyHorse]

a) Avatar bets are the crappiest ever

b) You said 6 months

c) There is no c

Like Mikhael Tal all these years ago.

Considering my posting frequency, and my reputation, you have quite a few embarrassing options.

b) You said 6 months

And I am taking even up odds rather than 3:1

Nope, that wasn't. Nor was it an easterner who said he would prefer not to breath the same air as Conservatives (that guy was from Winnipeg). I can't recall where the Nazi reference came from (by that time I wasn't really shocked).

However, Martin did take advantage of all of it, and he personally and specifically made Alberta an issue re health care after being handed the whip by Klein.

What I am saying is the mood here is ugly. People take politics seriously, and personally. That is what I am saying.

Nye, take a deep breath and calm down. You're babbingly incoherently again.

Let's take this from the top.

You launched on your usual rant about evil Easterners. (Your bias is getting quite boring)

I pointed out that I have never heard someone from the East saying "don't vote for him because he's from the west."

You then started ranting about how Martin and other Easterners attacked the beliefs that Westerners hold dear.

But it was a Westerner who said "barbarians at the gate".

If you weren't such a racist, you might be able to understand that many Canadians throughout the country, including many people in West, disagree with the Conservatives.

It has nothing to do with East vs West.

And the only people who constantly attack people on the basis of East vs West are people like you.

You're already embarassing yourself with your avatar. You don't need my help.
