Yeah that wasn't cool. I never understood where those came from though. I never got the pepsi thing. I always thought it had something to do with the colors for some reason.

Quebec is the only place in North America (and one of the only in the world) where Pepsi is more popular than Coke.

You're really asking for a random guy to explain the actions of others, simply because they happen to be Quebecois?

Pepsi mentality? Very classy, Snowhound. Maybe Zoisite will explain your use of racial slurs - seeing that "you all" are anglos. That being said, I see nothing wrong with what Mr. Gauthier said. If he feels like Canada is a running joke that is his individual choice. It isn't exactly an uncommon feeling.

Frankly it's time the shakedown ends. Either they stay or go. In 1860 in my country South Carolina pulled that chit, followed by Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Texas. After they tried to fire on Federal property Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas joined the party. It did not end well.

Except maybe eastern North Carolina, where Pepsi was invented, and Purchase, New York (about two miles from my house), where they are now headquartered?

Not sure about the use of the term "shakedown", which evokes shaking something like a tree to see if any leaves (money) will fall from it to the ground.


Yes, independence is always an option that's always on the table but the Canadian government has pretty much legitimized it through its very own Clarity Act.


Quebec is still not a signatory to the 1982 Constitution and while it nonetheless remains in force (including in Quebec) there are no concrete overtures being made in order to try and get Quebec to sign on and correct this problem when it comes to "optics".


Canada continues to be governed and Quebec continues to be governed. The two governments continue to bounce off one and other in a give and take that also exists between any two entities that co-exist in a federation. (As we are also seeing with Alberta at the moment.)

Comparing Pepsi's to the N word is so out of line. You both know that Pepsi is similar to calling someone an Anglo as Quebec separatists love to say in real life and on this forum. Please stop exaggerating for sympathy.

So even you admit that Quebec has it pretty good. Quebec gets away with undermining Canada at every opportunity not to mention radical ethnocentric legislation aimed at gleefully driving out certain racial groups.

No, calling someone a Pepsi is definitely NOT similar to calling someone an Anglo, which only means that the person is an English-speaker. And «*Anglo*» used by every French speaker, not only «*Quebec separatists*».

«*Pepsi*» is an insult, a derogatory term.
