Talk about prejudice!

Sometime I wonder if Canada is better off without Quebec.

Or should we implement "melting pot" culture policies to save us the troubles.

Wow. I had no idea the Québecans (don't even think I'll give them the benefit of being called "Québecois" in a case like this) were quite that insane...

"If Morden is afraid of green penguins, and Draal is shown to have
access to them, a speculation would be that Draal will use them
against Morden in the future. However if Draal only has a purple
moose, saying that he could use it against Morden would be a story
idea."

I don't know if they know this, but the French hate them, (the quebecans) I have a friend from France that says they are a disgrace to the culture and the language and that they shouldn't dare to call themselves french.

Well, if France doesn't like them, that pretty much means they're doing the right thing, doesn't it?

*LOL @ Sol*

And it's Qu�becers, Qu�beckers, Qu�be�ois, Canadiens or French-Canadians, not Quebecans. You have more than enough choice. But they're still wackos, by any other name...

Yeah, but "Québecer" sounds dumb. The "-er" suffix usually means "a person/thing that does a particular action" (a "computer" computes, a "wanker" wanks, &c.). So a "Québecer" is someone who Québecs? "Québecan" sounds a lot better...
