That Quebec has a larger number of establishments per capita catering to the sexual predication's of both hetero and homosexuals? Or are you offended that I personally would suggest it?

The money parents spend on children cannot be spent eating out.

You sure about this?

One cannot have both the butter and the money for the butter.

Grain don't feel bad about being called Boque.

I always thought they were calling me a "bloke" like an English guy.

What exactly am I being called?

I never truly understood it my self . I think they took it from a British term 'bloke' tho from there added the stupidity that anglos have square heads. Its just plain ignorant. What i meant about not feeling so bad is that they called me that and I am pure blooded frenchmen. Just because i came back with an accent and mixed my words up. Just to show you the depths of their ignorance I guess. To me their on the loosing side.

I take it with a grain of salt. We have lots of friends up there and I never tire of telling the locals what we think of the French. During the referendum year I handed out little homemade escape and evasion pamphlets jokingly telling them how to meet the freedom bus and defeat the French boarder guards by cutting through the wire, disguising smell for dogs and floating across the river on inflated raincoats.

What I always find very interesting is when I meet hard core French Quebec nationalists they are always curious what I think of Quebec Separation and I always tell them that people in Alberta generally want them gone. What's unusual is instead of happily agreeing they become defensive and argue why Quebec should remain.

Weird eh?

Can you explain that?

Don't know Grain sounds like a feminine side
I think they really don't know what they want, maybe for you to cry for them if it ever happens. Just Dunno probably thats why we haven't seperated yet , they haven't thought it through ....

Also, on a trip to a mall in Quebec (15 years ago) where they have a little train, I was eating in food court and tried my hand in French trying to get some milk from the A&W kiosk. But when I asked for the milk the girl at the counter started yelling at me and the guy in back came out and then he started yelling at me so I said that "if you don't have any milk that's fine" in English and went back and sat down. My wife asked what happened because at this point everybody sitting in food court was staring at us and that's where I learned there is only a subtle difference between "some milk" and "you're ugly" in French. (And she was). My wife apologised on my behalf of which she'll tell you has become pretty routine when we travel the dark side.

, that's a classic !

/camerontech cheers on fire_i, not because he wants to defend Quebec, or hates GFPB, or is left-wing, or knows half the conversation. But because he's right and some people on this forum hate to admit it.

Perhaps she was ugly because she craves the food at this restaurant.

e-gads! Kelsey's is awful.
They would not be missed in Ontario either.

I feel that I am in an acceptable position to be able to criticise Quebec.

Never said otherwise.

$1:

My wife is a francophone from the province and we travel there often. In fact, she'll be flying out next week for a two week stay. I also own property there and pay taxes on it and have to replace my vandalised Canadian and Alberta flags at my cottage near Port Neuf each summer and one year had to paint a wall after somebody sprayed anti-Canadian graffiti on it.

[Plus the anecdotes]

Sorry to hear that. Definitely won't defend such an attitude - it's stupid and ignorant. But eh, some people, for example, vandalize graveyards, which shows just how moronic people can get.

But really? These things that happened to you were almost certainly not jokes, but genuine ill-intentioned "attacks" and should be considered as such. An insult's an insult, and I won't accept "humor" as an excuse here. Unless you go somewhere and are expecting that kind of pranks/jokes/"well-intentioned insults" (like at an humorist's show), it's only normal that they draw angry reactions.

They don't want to hear Quebec isn't vital to Canada. Being dumped would be humiliating - separating under a flurry of "please don't go, you're too important" would be gratifying in a way.

Alberta's case is a bit exceptional since it actually doesn't really need the rest of Canada, even at first glance (it's arguable no province needs the country, but definitely not at first glance), much less provinces that drain it of equalization payments. Therefore it's not so surprising an Albertan wouldn't be bothered by Quebec separation, but if a belief like that spread across the whole of Canada, it would be a hard pill to swallow for someone who wants to believe Quebec is important enough to Canada for the latter to do everything it can to keep it under its control.

Still, despite whatever belief whoever holds, I do think Canada in general would be worse off without Quebec, or any other province for that matter, if only because of imponderables. Chances are Alberta leaving would be, all proportions kept, more damaging than say, Quebec or Nova Scotia, though.

Kelsey's leaving Quebec ... unfortunate !!

Another " Montreal problem " ... again . Kelsey's would have done fine elsewhere in Quebec ... Quebec city, Trois-rivières, Sherbrooke , Chicoutimi , Baie-Comeau ... name it , any city outside of the "Greater Montreal" would have been really pleased to have a Kelsey's ...

But, of course , Montreal , the sh**thole of Canada made sure that Kelsey's would'nt make it. Typical Montreal!! Maybe Kelsey's should have been " Quelle scie "( The saw ) in Montreal ... elsewhere in Quebec "Kelsey's" would have been fine and as long as we can get good food and servive , we would have been more than please to give them fair support. ..

Phoque, as a Quebecer living happily in Canada outside of the " Greater Montreal" , I'm tired of all the sh**t Quebecers take because of Montreal ..


I want a Kelsey's in Quebec city, and I want Montreal out of Quebec . Montreal, join New Brunswick , France , Zimbabwe , Palestine ... but please leave .. for good !!

Good night , JoBec

[Red_Eye]

HAHAH right on I dred Montreal . its a traffic nightmare . Collapse the few bridges that it has and way bye bye HAHAHAHA what a hell hole it is . The only city with a toilet for a stadium with the seat up !
Montreal cost the province so much.
