    Canada, being Canada, is dealing with American nationalism and jingoism by happily and obliviously aping it back at them. And this appears to be bringing out a bunch of latent animosity towards Quebec. Yeah, yeah, “But this post is a complement to Quebec!” Bullshit. It’s a passive aggressive attack on Quebec. One of several posted recently.

      It’s not at all an attack against Quebec, nor even a compliment really. It’s a statement of just how badly the US and Trump have royally messed up that they could get us all to put aside a long-standing disagreement in order to come together in this fight for our country… for all our sakes. I’m really sorry you feel the way you do, and really glad not all Quebecers feel the way you do… cause reading your comment was very disheartening.

        I have no idea what you are trying to tell me. If I wanted to watch images flash by while I drooled on myself, I never would have gotten rid of cable in the 90s. Fuck off with that toxic “it’s just a joke” shit. This is disrespectful to a third of Canadians.

            So, in this comment, you are inventing facts for your own psychological needs. You’re manipulating yourself with lies so you can feel better. And we can all see it.

            I can’t even speak French, so sorry to inform you.

            What exactly is your problem, that you have to pull out “It’s just a joke, brah!” and then throw ad hominems at me? You’re the one who looks like you have skin in this. It looks like you are using universal coping techniques that people use when they find themselves in a bad philosophical position.

              You need to masturbate. You’ll feel better.

      As a Canadian with half their family on either side of the Ontario/Quebec border, this shit has always pissed me off. All this animosity toward Quebec is not only ignorant, but also a driving force behind the separatist movement. The votes failed folks, that means Quebec is very much Canada and wants to stay that way. Accept that and pratice some fucking empathy with your countrymen instead of encouraging civil unrest.

        It’s crazy, cause all of Canada seems to hate Quebec, but Quebec only hates Ontario.

    I’m gonna get downvoted to hell. But it’s too funny to me…

    I remember when Quebec tried to cedced and failed miserably. Really miserably. Why would we care about them getting angsty now, when they have demonstrably shown multiple times that they don’t have any real power and online votes don’t matter?

      “Failed miserably”…
      It was like a 1% difference and the “no” side spent so much more than was legally allowed

      Two referendums, one at 40.44% in favor (1980) the other at 49.42% in favor (1995), looks like you don’t remember anything.

      That second one was full of irregularities including illegal spendings by the no side and citizenship being given to masses of people much more quickly than the usual process.

      Quebec has shown multiple times that it can flip an election, has disproportionate representation in the Parliament and has forced the federal government to respect its powers and to adopt bills that end up being good for all other provinces.

      You’re not remembering, you’re confabulating.
