^ lol @ the troll. What a pathetic cunt.
You can still claim Andy Murray, Ewan Mcgregor, and David Byrne you twats.
You forgot Jamie Murray, Mel Gibson, and the Bay City Rollers bawbag
Based on your posts I’m assuming you are Quebecois now living in Germany.
Why exactly do you think Quebec is better off leaving Canada?
^ There is more than economics to sovereignty. Quebec would undoubtedly be economically disadvantaged by separation, but it doesn’t mean they’d be less happy. Alberta should flip you all the bird, maybe taking BC along. Now that’s a separation that would be a huge economic advantage and makes cultural sense (Calgary and Edmonton are more different culturally from Toronto than Montreal is).
Didn’t realise it was a 50.48% majority that won that election. That’s fucking tight, especially with 1.8% spoiled ballots.
losing with 45% of the vote is fucking painful enough…
What am I missing on Mel Gibson? He was born in the US and moved to Australia as a kid, right?
Scotland reminds me of 1999 when Australia had their big referendum to become a republic. I think it was 55 no to 45 yes in the end, but a couple of states were very very close. Interest in becoming a republic in Australia has waned in recent years with the new royals (William and Kate) and their popularity.
Braveheart
as long as you take all the Quebec and Ontario provincial debt with you, it’s a deal. haha. confederation is like a marriage, when you split, the high earner is responsible for all the spender’s debt.
and that separation would involve cutting the world’s 2nd largest country into 3 parts. at which point, you may as well make every province its own country.
I didn’t know Antarctica had provinces.
At least the Scottish have the chance to vote for their independence. It might never happen in the case of Hong Kong and China mainland. Sigh …
possibly the worst joke of the century.
We should weight Canada’s area by several categories. First of all, some 10% of Canada is over water. Not counting water, the US would in fact cover more area than Canada. Second, large parts of Canada are undesirable or unsuitable for dense populations. Any equitable division of land should account for usability of land within each partition.
If I was the King of Canada, I would immediately order every Canadian to buy Hummers and burn all the fossil fuels they can find. This will expedite climate change and help transform Canada into a suitable area for agriculture and human population.
Oh, I’ve got a worse one.
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his crotch.
Bartender says, “Hey pirate! You know you have a steering wheel sticking out of your crotch?”
Pirate says, “Argh, matey! An’ it’s driving me nuts!!!”
^It is national talk like a pirate day.
A share of the national debt proportional to population, sure. But provincial debts? Good luck. I have sympathy for Quebec, they’re weird and socialist but their intentions are good (beyond corruption issues). Ontario is just a mismanaged political disaster. I don’t think there is a less competent government in the western world. And it was re-elected!!! Ontario has no one to blame but themselves for their financial hole.
That debt was used to purchase assets. So yes, responsible for the share of the national debt but also a claim on the share of the assets.
I’m amazed on how long it took to count the ballots. It took us 2 hours.
