Whoo! 2,009 post! (AKA: What is French? Debate)

That's so stupid. And, of course, that's why Quebec leans so strongly to seperation.

British Canada should have assimilated the French Canadians, since they were conquered. Instead you have two distinct groups, one of which at times wants to be it's own woman. In America, we had that problem about a century and a half ago. It sparked a war. The war was fought, the seperatists were defeated AND assimilated over time. Now, there is absolutely no chance whatsoever the south will rise again. We didn't allow themselves to be called "Confederate Americans" and treat them as a seperate quasi-nationality, and it's a good thing we did not. And, I think it's a terrible mistake to call people Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans. It's ridiculous. You're American, or you're not. And the more we advance the idea that making Hyphenated-Americans is a good thing, the worse things get for everyone, because it polarizes people. It's stupid, and it's all in the name of 'diversity'. Ridiculous.

As for being close-minded about other nations?

Well, when another nation comes along that is anywhere near as successful at practically anything of importance as the United States of America right now, well, it'll be another story. As it is, the masters do not require instruction from the students. One day, when Canada gets older and becomes a real nation, you'll understand. *pats Canada on the head*

Acadia was almost a seperate nationality , But the brits or shall we say pre U.S americans attacked and grabed their land toss them all over the planet,Put alot of them in a shit Holes called Louisiana , Even after decades They wanted their homeland and indentity back kind of like Isreal,As you can see Darunia is a perfect example . If the Acadians were more populated and had a Majority in new brunswick It wouldnt surprise me if those Acadians demanded their country and homeland back but they cant unlike Quebec.They are so proud of it they will paint their fucking houses like this

If that was the american flag that would be conciderd a desacration.

Asimulation doesnt come easy even for a dictatorship much less democracy , Russia has tried to asimulate Cheyna for 200 years and failed and the fact they are muslims doesnt help. They tried to asimulate the anexed countries after ww2 but failed , Now Latvians is trying to purge Russian out of existence in Latvia since the fall of the soviet union kind of pay back for trying to purge their culture of existence.

Did the U.S really asimulate the south? They certainly didnt accept the blacks very quickly nore have some even today. Confederate Americans still exist as Red necks and southerners.One state had the confederate flag untill just a year ago,Some still slap the bloody flag on their cars and homes.

The brits tried to asimulate quebec, Anyone who spoke about independance was tossed in jail and beaten. Infact the french even had to fight for their right to vote early after confederation, Kind of like black americans during the civil rights movement just it didnt take till the mid 20th century to do it.

Forced asimulation wont work on quebec ,Not without a war and a humanitarian breach of human rights.Its democracy that stoped asimulation when people demanded their rights to choose. Quebec was quiet and accepted the confederation untill the 1960's when the president of France came by and stired them up and put the idea of independance in their heads again,Some like Piere Trudeau wanted to keep canada together and were called traitors by some fellow quebecors.

The French quebecois resented the fact the english queen was the head of state and they felt their voice waisnt being heard or cared about in parliament. Alot of the english canadians would slur the french canadians and that started a fire in peoples minds.

Truth is I dont care about speaking french,Though brushing up the language would help me get a job especially since the hole damn province is completely written in french.I feel left out when because of the fact I moved to the maritimes my french got out of practice and mom speaks english at home. When I met my relatives and family some who can barely speak much english it was annoying having to ask my dad that I forgot how to say a specific word in french. I will have to relearn it again since I will trouble working in this province.Sepratism was dieing and fading since the PQ lossed power,I am safe untill 2007 untill the next provincial election and hopefully the Liberals wont screw up and keep the lid on the sepratist shit.
