3. What's wrong with that?
You may not agree with Quebec separatism, but it's not like it's some inherently evil agenda.

6. Because they are both money making ventures and
ad revenue is a source of income. Do you think they do this for their health?

Capitalism baby! Free markets.

7. When you display Google ads you don't have any say over what is advertised.
Google's software decides which ads to display.

11. DU can block ads, but I don't see why we should care about this one.

14. They can block specific advertisers if they know about them,
but they can't possibly know about every potential advertiser ahead of time, so objectionable ones can show up without it being DU's fault.

8. Well, if it's in a thread about Sarah Palin it seems appropriate!
Her husband seems to like separatist parties.

12. It's not breaking the law. Who is DU to moralize another nation's politics?

13. Doesn't bother me
The Separatists have had two shots already at trying to go it alone.

They lost both referenda and they're losing more ground every day because of increasing immigrant ratios.

It's a non-issue to me and most Canadians right now.

And besides, the BQ is now a repectable political party with some damn good ideas - very liberal.
