I think it's time we had an intervention for Asher.

It's okay; if we wait 3 more years then you guys get to have him for keeps.

I guess that is what they meant when they said the South would rise again .

And we'd whip your ass, boy .

Bull****. All your units would spontaneously withdraw as soon as the first frost set in.

There is no such thing as the Province of Ontario, in terms of identity.

There are Westerners, and Quebecois, and Newfies...but the people living in Ontario are not Ontarians where it counts, they're Canadians.

That's why they must guard the national interest while the rest of the country votes in their own, selfish, Balkanized interest.

[Asher]

Exactly.

Ontario is Canada in the current system.

Your logic is flawed in that Ontario is not serving the Nation's interests, but their own. But since it's such a large province, and because Quebec and the marintimes are full of people without a clue when it comes to politics, the liberals continue to dominate.

You're only kidding yourself if you actually think Ontario's voting liberal to serve national interests rather than regional. Because under their reign the nation has certainly become far less unified, and in the past they've screwed over one of the wealthiest provinces in the land out of their own greed and ignorance.

Explain the "without a clue" part ... o leader of the right.

Have you seen the Bloc?

Quebec votes for the Bloc and the Liberals. Neither of which are a real party to beginwith.

And Alberta votes for the Alliance, which has no chance in hell of forming a government. We're the same!
I'm telling you Ash : when you're ready to make the jump, don't go south... the PQ could use people like you.

By the time I move away when I'm done university I'm sure I'll be as right wing as Floyd. And you know who you have to thank for that -- Chretien.

Why don't you move south now? What's the matter? Can't afford to get an education in the US?

No chance in hell? Look at the actual figures, Alliance was a close second in terms of votes. Day is a dumbass, though. If it weren't for Day it'd be even better.

Quebec has no reason to whine.
I hate Quebec so very much.

Just because you speak a different language doesn't justify you leaving the political system that you guys keep supporting anyway!

Why would you keep voting for the same government and then threaten to leave? I don't understand. It makes no sense.

PQ is nothing but whiners without a cause. Much like France, actually.

(Flame on!)

Out of state university costs far more than in-state. Same system as how it works in Canada, Tingkai.

It saves you a LOT of money to go to the local institutions when possible. And considering the local institution is damn good in the field I want, all the more reason to finish up here before moving back to California.

Just how much does the Queen cost Canada? and why?
Personally I don't care weather Canada goes Republic, just please learn from American and don't have a President.
They cost a hundred more times than a the Queen ever could and you cold end up with a complete idiot with absolute power. Prime Ministers are much better, they have to answer to Parliament on a regular basis, and Parliament can stop them from going to far. Presidents only have to answer once ever four years.
Also shouldn't Canada be spilt up two into a French speaking part and a English speaking part, isn't that a more important issue than a Queen that has no power.

Quebec leaders constantly blackmail the rest of canada to get patronage contracts appointments etc. Give us this or we seperate!. etc etc Go alberta and BC seperation party! lol

As for canada going to a republic... The US is nothing more then a glorified elected monarchy where the leader has absolute power. Every 4 years you have 2 parties basically made up of the same type of people putting up the biggest idiot they can find for election. This "idiot" then has absolute power for 4 years. In canada the prime minister answers to parliament and only the sitting government can introduce finacial bills and budgets. One the plus side in the US you can actually vote for your leader, and you can vote for your local representive. If you took a cross between the cdn and US system you might get something that works..
