Vive Le Quebec libre
=>but the debate is deriving from Québec to Belgium... <=
Yes and since that's the place where the "French culture" did the very things that you claim the English Canadians are doing.And we would'nt want to disuss that eh?Bloody hypocrit.
Salut sebestien, je trouvais interessant que tu n'aime pas utilise les passeports ni l'argent canadien. Pourtant j'ai vu un peu de l'entrevue avec Andre Boisclerc sur Tout le Monde en Parle et il a dit que meme dans un quebec souverain, il garderai l'argent canadien.
In an interview last week, a candidate for the leadership for the seperatist party, the PQ said that even in a sovereign quebec, we would still use canadian currency.
By the way, as to this latin brotherhood, try telling that to all the cubans who have to struggle with the hundreds of unilingual quebecois who visit cuba and try to communicate in french, when actually the second language of the cubans in the tourism business is english.
And Steve K and Tiffany, Canada without a Quebec wouldn't work so well either. If quebec seperates, then what will stop alberta (which has more of an economic reason) from seperating?
And by the way, for those wondering, one big difference between american and canadian culture is our social programs and our universal health care, (shitty though it is). We're not the same.

Don't be ridiculous, we don't have any problems with other latin languages, and you don't want an independant Québec because even that you were born there, you are of Ukranian descendant, thus you don't want to loose any benefits as an immigrant descendant don't you?
Would you like that Russia still has Ukraine as a nation under their control like they did in the Soviet Union?.
This is an decision for real Québec born people (French descendant) not for a Slavic Ukranian descendant fellow. Who thinks is a such a selfish way, even that Québec was very kind in accepting their Ukranian inmmigrant parents.
=>Would you like that Russia still has Ukraine as a nation under their control like they did in the Soviet Union?. <=
This is a ridiculous question. French,
Would you like that Germany would still have France as a nation under their control like they did in the second world war?
Idiot.
Ohhhh -- to REALLY be from Quebec you must be of French ancestry? Simply being born there and growing up there doesn't count?
What happened to all these lofty claims that "race" and "ethnicity" are immaterial?
And why shouldn't ANY citizen of Quebec have a say in the future of their home?
You sound very much like a chauvinist now, French.
Clearly your ethnicity is irrelevant in Quebec - as long as it's French, of course.
<<real Québec born people (French descendant)>>
Finally, on page 41 of the thread, we get to the crux of what the VLQL people REALLY think!!
<<Don't be ridiculous, we don't have any problems with other latin languages,>>
What, all native speakers of one latin language can automatically understand every word in another latin language? I don't think so.

I didn't say that, when I say "we don't have any problems with other latin languages" what I wanted to say is that we don't care if by the situation or local conditions we must speak another latin tongue instead of our mother one. That's not the case of English as you can see in all the previous post of the languages forum of antimoon.
If a French has to speak Spanish for a time and Zero French he / she has no problem with it.
If a Spaniard has to speak French for a time and Zero Spanish he / she has no problem with it.
If a French or a Spaniard has to speak English for a time so then there's a problem. We feel uncomfortable if we are forced to speak not latin languages.

<Sigh> YOU ARE A TOTALL MORON!!!!

And you are a total slave of the Anglo Saxons.
A sad clone who is loosing his culture and tongue.
Read the post, French.

Where does it say that the Quebecers speak Spanish? It doesn't, does it? It says that they speak *French* and that the Cubans therefore have a problem with communication.
Well then the cubans must learn French if they go to Québec and the Quebecers must learn Spanish if they go to cuba. it's tha simple.

Agh for God's sake that's absolutely ridiculous
<<Agh for God's sake that's absolutely ridiculous >>
That's what I've been saying about this thread all along. And it was YOU who said <<real Québec born people (French descendant)>> and <<We feel uncomfortable if we are forced to speak not latin languages>>.
Do these not seem ridiculous to you?
It does to me. Nobody's forcing you to speak anything. And nobody said anything about picking up a new language when MOVING to a new country -- they were talking about the fact that French-speaking Quebecers have trouble communicating with Spanish-speaking Cubans when on VACATION.
Spanish-speaking Cubans <=
Emm just as a curious fact.
The Cuban accent sounds very harsh to understand sometimes even for me.
