Someone has got to stop the maple menace before it spreads its filth to America!  I think it's all those inbreed frenchies myself that make them so dumb.

I love Canada but the seal hunt is a cruel and antiquated practice that should have been abolished a long time ago. I realize people are making their living from this industry, particularly in Newfoundland and Labrador, but there are alternatives. Although I do despise the barbaric slaughter of those innocent creatures, I do not think it helps to demonize the people involved. I am far more interested in finding longterm solutions that put an end to the carnage than anything else.

I've been out of Canada for 14 months and didn't vote in the last election, but I hope not!  I will be watching this space to see what other (more informed) Canucks write!  Thanks for the question.

I'm certainly sick of it. I have a sign on my front door for all to see. It is a picture of  Uncle Sam, only he looks like he's insane. Beside his picture it says "Mr. Bush, I really getting pissed off at what you are doing to my country!" I think that pretty well says it all.

I wish more people shared your concern, and for the reasons you do, because they are for the right ones. You are not racist, I would be just as upset if Canadians were here taking advantage of our system! Unfortunately it is so out of control I dont know how the problem can be resolved w/o drastic actions, which the gov. is not willing to take.

I can understand why Harper is doing it, but I do not agree with it.\n\nThese people are dying for Canada, and they should be treated with respect.  This lowering of the flag was only put in place with the Liberal Government (before the liberals it was exactly how it is now, only rememberances happen on rememberance day).\n\nSadly enough, I think it's Harper trying to distance himself from the former liberal government.  trying to show how different and unique the new government it.  \n\nWhat worries me more is him banning the media from seeing the caskets come back over here from over seas.  That worries me, and it's one more thing that Bush did that was terribly unpopular.  \n\nMost political observers believe by doing this, he is just trying to strifle anything which could lead to agruments about Canada's envolvement in Afganitsan.\n\nIt's sad really.

Well, I can turn my cigarette package over and not feel so bad because I can't understand the warningJust kidding. Truthfully, for such a big country, the French speaking population is fairly small.However, not knowing French even if you live outside of Quebec can limit you, at least job-wise. Many government jobs require you to be bilingual.\nPersonally, I think the "language barrier" does hurt us a little. I'm not a fan of Quebec separating.It makes no sense geographically, for starters. I could go on, but that's a whole other topic. By now, I'm willing to bet that there are more languages spoken throughout our country  that would rival the amount of francophones combined, so I'm not really sure if the language is really the problem or that We (the rest of Canada) are socially programmed to dislike Them (Quebec) and vi ca verca. I know growing up and going to French Immersion schools there was alot of favoritism toward the French speaking students. They got more field trips and always seemed to be in higher academic standing (I knew those kids, some of them weren't very bright.........) I suppose in my youth I had some resentment, but not now. I think it would be nice if we could stand together as a nation for once.There are so many other different cutures here now, I hardly see the difference if we speak English, French, Mandarin or Esperanto. We are Canadian, end of story.

Who cares what Canadians think ?

Quebec is no more a nation than New Mexico is, and for the same reasons.  Moreover, it was never a nation.  The Battle of the Plain of Abraham settled that a long time ago.\n\nIt is one thing to be proud of a language and culture and to promote these things.  It is quite another to take this to extremes.

If you look at the statistics, the majority of illegal immigrants who are putting a strain on our reasources are Hispanics....and they are the first to protest that they aren't "getting enough rights."  Pathetic.  The majority make no effort to learn our language or our culture, they have been tearing down our flag and replacing it with theirs, and they are DOWNRIGHT RUDE.  Canada has always been a gret resource for the United States and the people who come from up north generally are friendly and make an effort to embrace our country.  On another note.....\n\nWe are closing our borders to terrorists and illegal immigrants on July 4th, and everyone everywhere can help! If you are interested or would like to participate, please visit our website for more information: http://www.getmycountryback.com... \n\nPlease help spread the word, tell a friend!!!!!!

quebec will never separate.  all they want to do is threaten to seperate, so that ottawa will negotiate with them under emergency conditions, and give them what they want\n\nbasically the federal government and a majority of the provinces are ready to give quebec what it wants, which is just a little sentence acknowledging that they are different, and an equal partner to the english part of canada\n\nbut the problem is that it's literally impossible to change the constitution just for that.  there are too many other special interest groups out there that could petition any court, or filibuster any legislature, and prevent a quebec amendment from taking place.  these groups would rather force the government to have a full constitutional convention, that would adress their grievances as well.\n\nthe conservative government came close.  but they also tried to use the constitutional accords to make a bunch of other changes that would weaken the power of the federal government, giving the provincial governments the power to withhold funding from our welfare programs.  this was unpopular with many canadians, as well as quebec, which left the conservative party in disgust\n\nif quebec did seperate that would be interesting.  if any province did join them it would probably be new brunswick.  it is the closest, and has a large francophone population\n\nbut qeubec seperation would also be the beginning of the end for canada.  tehre is no reason for alberta to stay.  they have all the oil and canada is basically a liability to them, costing them more than they get back in programs the province doesn't need or could finance itself because they have the oil wealth.\n\nif canada did fall apart, it would be very feasible for the maritime provinces as well as ontario to form a union with quebec.  it is really the western province alberta that is at the most risk of seperating, since it is actually feasible and they would be the better off for doing it.

Good Lord yes! I am so sick to death of it. The worst were people who kept asking what it was or what it was about.

Because people think that since we're "north" we are like greenland or something. they are dumb, that's why! and for the french, thats also dumb too...the person before said that 50% of canada speaks french? you must be kidding! with Quebec being the only main pocket of french speakers, with scattered francophones it is not half of canada!

Quebec cannot exist as a separate country because its people always vote against it.
