The politics of Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland

[Craig]

Seems pretty likely the Nos will carry it.

[mayoradamwest]

If the yes side succeeds, it'll make for a great Scotchtoberfest.

[PPJ]

The may take our balls and split us in four, but they'll never take our freedom!

[Mufasa]

If Scotland and Calogne do it it would give a huge push for Quebec's opinion toward independance so i'm totally for it.

LOL

Just move to Haiti if you want to live in a French speaking country gone to shit.

Your father would roll in his grave if only he knew what you've become.

My dad would agree with me that Quebec's economy would go to shit if it seperated from Canada.

[Rick Middleton]

Your Dad would be right.

[Mufasa]

My dad would agree with me that Quebec's economy would go to shit if it seperated from Canada.

Every economic studies made on the subject have been saying the contrary. I know it's one of the platitudes repeated over and over as a fear tactics but nothing indicates Quebec economy would go to shit.

[IcE ColD]

I'd like to see a totally independent study on this. Because our Economy is shit right now. And with the corruption allegations boom that we've witnessed in the last couple years, I don't exactly have much faith that it would be any different (if not worse) shall Quebec one day become a country.

Disons que je crois que le Québécois moyen semble un peu trop à l'aise de "fourrer l'système" parce qu'en bout de ligne, "c'est l'gouvernement qui paye"... sans nécessairement penser à "oussé que l'gouvernement prend son argent"

[Slick Nick]

I really think we should consider a different approach twards independance. Since OUI is losing ground in Quebec we should basically try to convince the rest of Canada to kick us out. It's our last option at this point in time.

[PPJ]

I'd love to read the list of assumptions made in such studies and who paid them to write those studies.

I've dealt with economists many times in my line of work. Really amazing how their conclusions can differ based on who's paying them.

Well you and Mumu are doing your part at least.

[Mufasa]

the difficulté with Québéc is that it is full of Québécois.

Like Canada is full of Canadians, whatever that word means.

[Mufasa]

a cultural mosaic, bruv

Mais encore?

Yeah but we need to do it on a larger scale, preferably country wide operations.

We need hundreds of people protesting in Ottawa with banners saying: "triple the equalization payments", "remove the Queen from the 20 dollar bills", "services in french in Medicine Hat"

[Craig]

The Queen's starting to look like an old bag. I'd rather have someone pretty on my 20's. Maybe we can go with that Kate Middleton upskirt from last year?

Always speak french first even when abroad, or else your canadian passport should be revoked.

[clawfirst]

We should trade Quebec with Haiti. You guys get a tropical paradise, we in turn take the Haitians and place them in Quebec city. We build a wall around it and wait for them to die out. This should occur within a winter or two.

Everybody wins.

[clawfirst]

Probably need to add some draft picks to even it up

[Mufasa]

Let's trade les quebecois for some of them new orleans french. Maybe someone will invent cajun poutine!

Too bad New Orleans french dont exist anymore, the work of the white english men once again. SHould be a warning for us though.

[Mufasa]

But what's actually happening is that Scotland (which is poorer than the UK as a whole) will vote no and Catalonia (which is richer than Spain as a whole) would have voted yes if they would have been allowed to vote. Quebec falls into the Scottish category. Also, notice how clean the Scottish referendum is compared to Quebec (pre agreed to process and question).

Quebec remains heavily nationalist. Make it richer than Canada as a whole and support for sovereignty would be very high.

Vote Caq!

The CAQ plan is closer to what i'd like than the retarded membership of the PQ. If Quebec was paying dividends to the RoC even West-Islanders would be separatists. We'll see where the oil takes us.

[PPJ]

Just be sure to return that land to Rupert when you separate.

I'd do a conditional third.

Why? Except for Belgium and Switzerland, countries that speak french better than English are shitholes.

[PPJ]

You think Belgium isn't a shithole?

Lol.

They make good beer. They get a pass.

[Craig]

Is Belgium a shithole? I've never been, but I've always been under the impression they were in the top tier of not being shit. I mean if they're below the shit threshold, how many non-shitholes are there in the world? 8 or 9?

[PPJ]

I think they're a shithole in comparison to their neibours. Sort of like having the crappiest house in a very nice neibourhood. But if you moved them to say, Central America, they'd be the mansion on the hill.

Shithole no, but they're closer to France than to Switzerland in terms of.. uhhmm.. everything.

[PPJ]

besides, belgians are half dutch. they don't really count.

for that matter, the swiss are essentially germans who decided to speak in a silly way. they don't count either.

so we're again left with no french-speaking country that isn't a shithole.

You think France is a shithole? Sure, like most big countries it has it's shitty parts, but the country as a whole a shithole?

[AD]

You think France is a shithole? Sure, like most big countries it has it's shitty parts, but the country as a whole a shithole?

I think you mean "Sure, there are nice things in every big country. Hell, even the presidential palace in the Baghdad green zone is pretty nice.. but you think its not a shithole?"

[Craig]

Isn't Luxembourgish basically French?

How about Monaco? Highest GDP per capita in the world.

[PPJ]

Is Monaco actually a country though?

[IcE ColD]

Is Monaco actually a country though?

Sovereign city-state, apparently

[BlackRedGold]

You think France is a shithole? Sure, like most big countries it has it's shitty parts, but the country as a whole a shithole?

With all the asshole surrender monkeys that live there how can it be anything other than a shithole?
