Quebec says, "I don't".
Listen, we have to talk. This arranged marriage between us never worked out. When I got into this mess, I was young and naïve. And as an orphaned bride in the new world, I was powerless and desperate. But let’s face it, we were always two very different people and we both wanted different things in life. In reality the only thing we had in common was we lived next door to each other. But convenience alone doesn’t make for a good marriage.

Like many young brides, I hoped you might change. Sadly, I was wrong. Instead you’ve gotten much worse with age as your Harper face reveals. Now whenever I look at you, I see George Bush or Ronnie Reagan or Margaret Thatcher or Barry Goldwater. Let’s face it, the Thrill is Gone.

At night when you come home, your breath reeks of war and corporatism and imperialism. And you hide things from me all the time. Things I have a right to know as your spouse. And you are getting more violent with each passing day. All this talk of more unregistered guns for everyone scares the crap out of me. Your crazy shopping sprees have gotten out of hand, what with $30 billion wasted on F-35 Fighter Jets without engines - who would mortgage our children's education for such boy's toys? And what about compassion? All you want to do is build more US style jails and put my children into them.

2. I thought it was funny
I like that note at the end: Reminds me of my own failed marriage. We had religious differences - I didn't believe he was God. :rofl:

3. The thing is....there is and there NEVER has been a separatist movement in Quebec!
There has never been a time when ordinary people were marching in the streets with placards demanding to get out of Canada. NEVER! That's what happens in countries where they really do want "freedom". What has happened is a small number of men, from Rene Levesque onward, have wanted to rule their own country and have cajoled the Quebecers into thinking that if they were elected, they could get more favours from the Canadian gov't for Quebec. Even their questions on the referendum ballots were purposely unclear so that most of the people who voted "oui" believed they would still be part of Canada...as was shown by polls afterward. Chretien put an end to unclear questions when he brought in the Clarity Act.
The reason the Bloc gets such a large portion of the vote is that they are "working for the interests of Quebec."
And now to have Harper using this old bugaboo to try and scare people into voting for him is disgusting!!!!!
