I have nothing against French people. I have friends from Quebec. Even my step-mother is French, she's from Chateauguay. This isn't a redneck thing or whatever.
It's just simple frustration at the Province of Quebec holding everyone back. We get it. We know they're special and distinct and on and on and on. Just drop the halfway crap. Either they're Canadian or they're Quebecor... but enough picking whichever side suits whichever moment all the time.

Alberta's not that different.
Who are the last 5-6 guys Alberta's have voted for?
Harper
Day
Manning
Mulrouney
Clark
Diefenbaker
I can't remember farther back. With the exception of Mulrouney, they are all from Alberta/Sask right?
The difference is Alberta has 28 seats and Quebec has 75.
But it really all boils down to Ontario. If no party can dominate Ontario then it'll always be a minority.
