I live in Ontario and i'm a bit closer to the whole "Separtist" debacle. I imagine you guys hear about it in the Western regions of Canada, but not as much as we do here in Ontario with Quebe being our neighbour. I am half French half English and just consider myself Canadian, i speak both languages very well and im proud of what we've accomplished as a nation and how everyone looks at our country with envy. Why do the "Seperatist Quebecers" think they are so special? I reallly don't understand. We are a country of immigrants but the seperatists beleive themselves to be distinct and special, does that mean that the rest of Canadians are boring? as any other culture other than theirs?
I watch a lot of news in French and the Seperatists are quite sure that the next referendum will spell victory for a country called Quebec , makes me woried for the rest of our country. The Eastern provinces will be cut off by the bull-headed Frenchmen, It's not a stereotype in most cases to say that Seperatists are arrogant or ignorant, it's the truth, just go to Quebec city. I wish that they could comprehend that they have their own culture here in Canada, as Canadians, not "special people".
