    I believe that "Independantist" is a less inflammatory new term to describe separatism.

    Perhaps Mr. Obscure would care to elaborate?

    Nothing new here. This term has been around for a long long time.

    Separatism is a term mostly used by english-speaking people. 'cause it's always been scarier than sovereigntist or independantist.

    And I would like to answer your other post, but my english knowledge is a little bit too poor. Would be simpler if I could express myself in French. But then again, I think that don't speak it nor read it.

    Well, I would like to see Quebec be independant one of these days just like I would love to see Canada being independant from Great- Britain. Federalism has never worked. Mainly because each provinces have its own history, its own culture, etc. Someone from Nova-Scotia doesn't think like someone from B.C. They don't share the same 'reality'.

    And, technically speaking, yes, I am Canadian. Last time I check I was living in Montreal! :P

    But in the bottom of my heart, Quebec is my country. I was speaking the other day with a friend of mine who's from New-Brunswick and he told me that, for him, Acady was his country.

    I'm sure you're proud to be Canadian and I know there's a lot to be proud of, I respect that, but my heart, my conscience and my convictions tells me that my real country is Quebec.

    Why would a Lady from another country, another Nation be my Queen? I'm French, so why a British monarch should reign over me?

    In other words, I'm a republican who's fighting to see one day, the Republic of Quebec.

    Simple as that.

    Question of convictions.

    Charles,

    One word for ya: conquered.

    :)

    I piss my French friends and relatives off with that one too, so feel free to flame me. I'm of Scottish/Irish descent and most of my family disliked the English, so when I was at the age to understand most of our family/world history I'd say: "what are we doing in Canada anyway?". No one could answer me....and still can't.

    I am Canadian and proud to be Canadian.

    I'm not sure if I understand your point of view correctly.

    Are you a monarchist?

    'cause my post was about that.

    I don't dislike the English people, far from it. I dislike their Crown. What it has done to my people, through History. They tried to forbid our culture, our religion, our tongue, etc. Sure, that was years ago, but they never gave any excuses at all. I think some of my Scots and Irish brothers and sisters will understand what i'm saying.

    I'd love to be proud of being Canadian. But it is a immense and beautiful country that is not mine.

    Oh CANADA!

    Hi:

    There was a protest in Montreal yesterday when Charles and Camilla were visiting. They are o.k. Charles was there to inspect a regiment.

    T'was a very clean and pacifist protest. We have nothing against Charles. Only against what he represent.

    Against something that we, "French-Canadians", never wanted. That was force down our throats.

    It's about time we get rid of this archaic thing that is the Crown. We're not in 1558 anymore.

    Would be better for us all with a Republic of Canada. Even though I'm an Independandist.

    Oh CANADA!

    First, I will never know how to use these quotes, thus I always reply to the entire post. Have tried everything. It is very important that Canada and the United States always remain close along with England. In recent years for the first time ever, there has been some tension between our countries. I dont like to point fingers, but in this case I must. I do think it is more of Canada's doing. And now these Montreal fans, who are amoung the most knowledgable on the game of hockey itself, are booing the anthem for what? Its not like the Boston Bruins represent the entire USA for Gods sake. I am not a Bruins fan. But I do want them to beat Montreal. Simply because I have never liked Montreal and Boston certainly deserves to win based on the year they had. Im sure there will be some idiots at tonights finale.

    My friend was at the game and he told me that is was mostly a bunch of 1,500 drunken fuckers in the Molson Export section that were booing.

    It's always some young bastards trying to be cool that will boo the anthem. And they're not all French. there's a lot of anglophones, too.

    We've lost... so what...

    How Buffalo's doing, so far??
