Quebec is not a country, it is a province of a much larger country. without canada, quebec's economy would disintegrate and we'd all be on welfare.

and thanks to the bloc, no majority gvt this time again
stop whinning

Exactly. And last i checked, you guys all chose quebec to live in. if you want to rant about all your "canada" pride, move to alberta and become almost as american as you can. if not, stop being a hypocrite and vote for your province's federal party and prevent all those other bums from sending OUR money to THEIR country !!!

If those votes woulda gone to Layton we would have a strong socialist opposition in a minority conservative government.

Any socialist in Quebec voting for the bloc is just completely blind IMO. So many people systematically vote Bloc just cuz "Chu un separatiste! Les anglais comprennent pas!" etc... Duceppe will never get Quebec to separate, what he can do is whine and whine and whine and make us look like a bunch of retards who think they are special...

Anyways, I totally cant stand the Bloc and hope the party just dies off.

Only reason I would ever want to separate is because of the conservative government and know that Duceppe is NOT the man who can take us there.

And as far as conecpt of keeping people sheepishly watching tv, I dont buy into that. Its ok to watch a sports game a couple of times a week, I follow hockey avidly, infact I play ice hockey aswell, and I still have time to teach myself new computer tricks, read several major publications(national post, montreal gazette, new scientist, bbc, cbc, cnn, thank you very mrs.palin)... as well as find time to spin, remix and produce, all while working 40-45hrs a week, not to mention shows etc... anyways, all that to say that I do hell of a lot more than just watch sports, and those this might be surprising, so do most sports fans.

I think the concept of keeping people happy with sporting events dates back to ancient rome, but I highly doubt that constitutes the same numbers today. Infact, Im pretty sure that less people watch sports than you think, not to mention what about all those people that don't like sports?
