So you are agreeing on an idea, but you can't decide what it means? Promising.

Is Canada that weak? If it is, then perhaps all Canadians should
reconsider Confederation. It certainly seems that they deserve better.

It seems that back during the referendum, big business was solidly backing
the federalist side... 'guess that means that an independent Quebec would
not be beneficial to the state and, by the phrasing of your question,
would be beneficial to the people of Quebec.

That is the vision we do not share! has this eluded you during this whole
debate? Sovereignist see themselves as Quebecois first, Canadian second.

Expound please. Many of us who are in Montreal think it can't really get
any worse. Mayors from the rest of Canada are openly coming here on
missions to take our jobs away from us. That's Canadian unity for you. At
the same time it's obvious that the feds don't want to do anything about
complaints from anglophones. Is that the Canada you wish so dearly to
preserve? 

Zellers is the truly canadian store -- back when they started using this
logo they decided to pack up from Montreal and move to TO. That slogan has
biting irony in it, don't you think?

Well, the good feeling can't always be mutual. 

> And you Sir know exactually what the rest of Canada wants correct?

You're providing us with the answer to that.
