Quebec.....Aren't they that Province that acts like a rebellious teenager by claiming they're leaving the house forever but want the parent's credit card number?
Sure, if by that you mean they're the only ones effecting the change they want.
Not like the complacent and placid Ontarians, or the deliberately obstructive and belligerent prairies, or the blatantly corrupt BC Liberals.
Oh that's funny. It's easy to affect the change you want when it's being funded by Ontario, BC, and the Prairies. You know, the very provinces you just took a verbal s**t on.
Quebec, particularly under the racist ******** in the PQ, is the textbook example of moral hazard in this Confederation.
Yeah, ******** shut up. Ontario has recently shown it gives no ******** about students. Both the major political parties were totally in favour of hamstringing teachers' unions. The prairies are ******** garbage dumps. Backward, conservative little Mordors which are turning our country more and more into a petro state. And BC has its own problems with not giving a s**t about the people living there.
And how are the PQ racist? By wanting to preserve Quebec culture against an ever-present tide of anti-Quebec bullshit?
I was born and raised in Quebec, silly. There have been instances where I've felt ethnocentric sentiment against me when I lived there, simply because I was a brown-skinned anglophone. Those were under the PQ days, where English schools got shafted readily. You don't get to question my claims that the PQ is racist and claim that they want to "preserve Quebec culture against an ever-present tide of anti-Quebec bullshit" if it means that my Hindu relatives who work in the public sector would be BANNED from wearing an Om necklace, Rakhis, and whatnot if the PQ had passed their "secularism" platform. That's balls out ethnocentric.
Compare that to Ontario, which has amongst the best schools in the English speaking world. You don't know the context within which the teacher's unions, according to you, supposedly got "shafted". The McGuinty Liberals were the best thing for teachers and the public sector in Ontario since sliced bread or Bill Davis in the early 80s, unless if you are extremely ignorant of the Harris days, or even the Rae Days. That's right, neither the NDP nor the Progressive Conservatives (and both are as major players in Ontario politics as the Liberals) were "friends of the unions". Basically, what you are saying about Ontario is lacking a decade of context, and that's a lot of context.
And the most ironic part of it all? Approximately $12 billion dollars gets funneled away from Ontario under equalization so that Nova Scotia, PEI, and Quebec can have fancy shmancy public sectors. We already have the leanest government, in all of Canada, and that's because we are forced to give equalization making us the province with the greatest tax burden (given their taxes don't go back into their own public services, and get handed to the aforementioned), while our manufacturing sector is lagging which decreases tax revenues. Under this situation, we must make do with our public sector programs somehow, and these programs are meant for
all Ontarians, not the public sector unions that work for them.
Historically, equalization turned Ontarians into on average the poorest lot in all of Canada. And so, cry me a ******** river if I'm critical of those retarded students donning those red squares with safety pins.
So yeah, I'm tired if this anti-Ontario hate. This is the province that drove the creation of this nation, that buttressed the rest of the developing provinces, and the moment that we're in the hurt people like you scream for inane demands that simply can't happen. Perhaps you can get the balls to argue against equalization, take away Quebec's payments every year, and give the rightful money back to the taxpayers that it belongs to. Maybe then our public sector in Ontario wouldn't need to worry about austerity as much as a result. Ontarians aren't made of money so that we can be milked by your kind of people at the snap of a finger.
It's nice when a government doesn't point fingers at your entire family as the PQ did after the Referendum in 1995.
And where did you get this "Ontario doesn't give a s**t about students" bit from? Are you a damned card-carrying member of the Canadian Federation of Students now?
