The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread 2

I don't want Québec to become a country out of love.
I dunno about everyone else though.
Also, I plan on living there some day...so...I'd prefer it if it were still Canada.
I was born in Newfoundland, and let me tell you, Canada has pretty much fucked us since 1949 when we joined, but, I cannot deny, I still love it here.
Despite saying I hate it, I suppose I'm just as neutral as you. I make no claims of being a federalist but I definitely lean towards it.
I can't say that the government's always been fair with Qu--half the country.

Definitely not. La nuit des longs couteaux is a good example of that...

[SuperFireKirby]

René Lévesque is such a silly man

[Roz~]

Pierre Élliott Trudeau is such a silly man

Fixed. :3

I'm not sure exactly how I feel about either of them, having been born much later than when they were figureheads.
My only thoughts or opinions of them are what older people around me say.
I see no immediate problems with the Canadian constitution...but I'm not as informed as I could be.
I certainly have problems with the House of Commons, the Senate, and budget though. >.< Not to mention healthcare. -.-
AND I'M NOT EVEN old enough to worry about those things. *sigh*

EDIT: People in Ontario might not understand this, but everywhere else people feel like Ontario thinks only itself is Canada.
Like there's a superiority complex. I've only lived in Ontario for a year, but I guarantee you, everywhere else the culture or perceptions of things is/are noticeably different, if not very similar from afar.

When I think of Canada I think of southwestern Ontario going through Montreal and Quebec City and then the west Coast...don't care about the rest....the prairies can suck a dick especially....same with the east coast....

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.
Look at you, confirming my claim. xD

Apparently I'm a Liberal.

[KefkaticFanatic]

I'm basically exactly in the middle.

[DrP]

Apparently, I'm a Conservative.

politicalcompass.org is a much more accurate reading since it doesn't pertain to Canada, but the world as a whole

[SuperFireKirby]

I'm glad that I'm closer to Nelson Mandela and Gandhi on the political compass then Hitler and Stalin. That's always a good thing.

[ETFROXX]

I have no opinion.

[kirby_superstar]

It said I'm a liberal. ....LMAO.
Nope.
On the political spectrum I'm a liberal, moreso of a socialist, but just because a party calls themselves liberal doesn't mean that they're "liberal".
Same with the conservatives. Our right wing (the Conservatives) are more left wing than the U.S.' leftest left wing.
I agree with Kefkatic though (can't I just call you gamer? T.T lol)
I'm moreso in the middle. We need balance.

[SuperFireKirby]

I think society needs to revert back to old middle eastern law(you steal a loaf of bread, the hand that stole the bread is cut off). This would mean all rapists would have their dicks removed and all convicted sex offenders would have their eyes gouged out. What a wonderful world it would be.

[Cobraroll]

And all those who don't obey the authorities would be hanged, shot or put in prison...
