Poll question: So, if the Cons get in after the election - how long till Quebec leaves?
It's not like the Cons have a history of making nice with the French.

Answers are in Years

USA from owning the whole thing is our federalism. Look for a Liberal/Block Coalition.

One thing Quebecers do not like is American propaganda.

If Albertans are not getting wise what with the whole border dispute over cows (and American hypocrisy) they don't deserve the oil they will no longer get any part of (what taxes? what transfer of oil wealth to the people?).

Quebec has Hydro. They know. They are not going anywhere. And as always, by not going anywhere, they get a really great deal.

In the morning when we have all woken up.. we will all understand that sponsorship scandal was about not dropping the ball on Quebec after the last referendum was so close. Any governing party would have been foolish to not try and spend money on bettering the national image.

In the morning when we have all woken up, we will all understand it is basically about health care. And do we want to all be able to share in the resource wealth of this country, or will it go to the highest bidders. That is was the federation is about.

In the morning, when we have all woken up, we will all understand it is because the aquifer under the mid-west has another 20 years and that is it. Then all of our lakes will be aquifers.

That is it, that is all.

3. I don't think they'll get in either, but if they did it'd be 2 years.
The Quebeccers and most Canadians are smart enough to know that they don't need to emulate the US in it's plummet. We're giving the Canadian's a good lesson in what not to do as they watch America implode upon itself.
