Yes, but we might pick up some more "midwest" states with two Republican congressman each.
This lame separatist threat is just that....lame and
typical. French Canadians do not want to be on their own.
Separatists want their independence but as you read
in the article they still want a political and economical
association with Canada.
I will translate what that means for you.
It means they want to keep their gov't jobs, the
gov't handouts, their power system, their favoured
status and all the other perks they get from the federal
gov't. I dare say even if they did separate our pathetic
Canadian gov't (I am sure the liberals would) would
continue to babysit these people, spoil them and give
them what they want.
The vote is always close....and people like Cretin give
away the house year after year to appease these people
while they laugh all the way to their cushy gov't jobs,
official bilingualism huts and handout nirvanas.
It truly is a french victory, post battle of Quebec at
the expense of English Canada.....or multicultural Canada....I don't even know what to call it anymore up here. And to top it off we have good jobs disappearing
to India, China and the Third world where people will
work for food and shelter.....not wages.
If the Canadian provinces became US states, then the House and Senate battles get quite interesting, as the Cabinet Ministers and most important MPs start running for the Senate and House of Representatives, knowing there are far fewer seats available...I'm sure you'd see a good mixture of Democrats and Republicans (and perhaps the odd Independent, like Jack Layton in the downtown Toronto House district) in Congress from the former Canadian provinces in the end, especially in the House, even if they all vote Democratic in the Presidential race...
