Uhh, the Bloc have. They haven't pushed it in their agenda but it's there. Everyone just knows it's a give in.

Conscription pissed them off because they didnt feel it was their war being of French decent. [enter french joke here]. And they were usually put into groups with little or no other French-speaking people. No commanders spoke french, and no soldiers, except the french ones spoke french.

But France(the source of their french decent) was the first allied country to be attacked by Germany. Even though the cammanders supposedly didn't speak any french....it's not like they new that from vast experience. Conscription wasn't introduced until well after D-Day. They were basing their opinion on what had occurred back in WW1. But, even that war involved the French heavily. More frenchmen died in that war than any of the other countries.

I would say...sadly as it may be, vote for the liberals. Yes they've f***** this country up, but look at the other options. NDP wants "secretly" to capitalize and privatize businesses, which means we might have to pay for servises such as a hospital.

'Privatize': To change (an industry or business, for example) from governmental or public ownership or control to private enterprise. The NDP is a socialistic minded party. They want to make everything more public. And were you joking about having to pay for hospitals? You do that now? That's how Canada works. maybe you were joking?

It sucks that we're too young to fully remember how good our health care system used to be. Have you been to an emergency ward at a hospital recently? Last year I severely sprained my ankle and I went to the hospital here in Kelowna. It took 6 hours for them to actually see me. That's just a petty example. When you're waiting for life saving surgery and it keeps getting delayed...then you'll have a different opinion.

I know this isn't the place to start a pot discussion....but I find it incredibly laughable how our country, which is so hellbent on drinking alcohol, has not yet legalized pot. The biggest thing has been the US's threat to close their borders to us if we legalized it. Decriminalizing it would be the first step though. ("drunks" are the scum of society. People who drink excessively and beat their wives and innocent children are better than a happy stoner? Please

Well, what are we going to do if Quebec votes to seperate? Just ignore them and cause even more rift? There has to be a point in time where this seperatism issue gets solved. Canada imo would be hurt quite significantly if Quebec decided to seperate...but that just might be the future. Personally, I don't think the Quebec people know what is good for them. Turning a province like that into a Country overnnight isn't going to be easy. They have the largest debt of any province and we'd hold them accountable for that. I just don't think they have what it takes to be any kind of a country by themselves.
