I just want to be clear that I don't have any hate for Quebec! I just know that they resent English-only speakers so when I go to Montreal I make sure my mom does all the talking.
Yeah we're just feeling the love in all of your posts!

Of course. You the anti-racism crusader (but only when it's against the US) finds racism against one quarter of your fellow Canadians a laughing matter.

My three pet peeves on the boards:

- those who presume to speak for me by using "we" and "our" in their posts to express their own nutty opinions

- those who paint groups with a broad brush, as if seeing them as identically programmed mechanical robots incapable of individual human thought

- adults who view the world in childish simplistic terms of black and white and are incapable of seeing the shades of grey or any point of view except their own

Meh. Was probably a good idea to close it last night.

With all due respect (truly, you seem like a very reasonable and nice guy), how is pointing out that a lot of Quebecois hate being Canadian and hate English-Canadians a form of racism exactly? It's the only province with a separatist party!
