thanks for the heads up on Mr. Jamison; I'm going to have a look see at him
I have relatives in Kingston who are opinionated as well.
Quebec's political party, Bloc Quebecois (the separatists), who want to separate Quebec from Canada, want to join with the Liberals and NDPs to form a coalition to outvote the Conservatives. but we don't want a separatist party to have such power... isn't this tantamount to treason! how can we let a separatist party hold government seats? the Canadian Government (who is us) is funding part of Quebec.
Because we have a constitutional monarchy... (the Queen is head of state)... the political parties are allowed to do this. I vote for a republic and democratically voted leaders! Canada is not all bad though. sometimes this type of arrangement is efficacious.
I'm sorry to hear that. it's shameful. there are many of us who love and respect the US. I'm glad you're not painting all Canadians or Quebecers with the same brush. we'd like to think that Quebecers are Canadians. and yes, like most sports teams now, Canada is also multicultural. these players, while playing for Canadian and US teams are loyal to their teams' Canadian & US anthems they hear, without asking individually that we play their own country of origin's anthems as well. shouldn't we expect Quebecers to show the same 'Canadian' team spirit?
