And yet another supposedly foreign national mysteriously turns up on City-Data and within the first handful of posts he puts on its various forums, he somehow finds himself in some Quebec-oriented threads on the Canada forum, singing the praises of Canada's francophones, Quebec, and the Quebecois. Pure coincidence, I'm sure.
It's entirely possible that he's a fake. Or maybe it isn't.
Do you actually think that this Mr. Karlsson is in actual fact someone from Quebec who actually went on the European forum of city-data spouting crap about the EU simply as a diversion tactic so that he can then freely post about Quebec in the Canada section here without arousing suspicions?
Spare me the histrionics, Acajack. Is it really beyond your comprehension that these fora are populated in part by little people who normally live under bridges?

Um, no, I don't think it's a diversion at all. It's quite possible that this fella might be better off back under his bridge, though.
I have a sneaking that this guy is someone who normally lives under a bridge.

You made me happy just by using the word "histrionics" in your post. Good vocabulary always impresses me!

I aim to please, Acajack. Now please do what you can to avoid encouraging our troll problem here on City-Data. Swat down the sockpuppets where possible. Thank you very much in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

It's hard not miss "Quebec-oriented threads" when half of your page is filled with them. I guess some things are hard to keep a secret. If that makes me a troll, then so be it.

Sure. And what, exactly, are we trying to keep secret? And who, exactly, is trying to keep it secret?
Perhaps you'd be so kind as to let us all know why you, someone who is supposedly a Dane and who is alleged to live in the United States, would make a beeline for the Canada forum and start commenting with authority on the issues of French language rights in Canada and Quebec self-determination. Also, why did you try to provoke BruSan? A Dane commenting on EU threads soon after joining City-Data, I understand. A Dane taking great interest in matters concerning French Canadians and Quebec less than ten posts after he joins, I don't understand. People are far too forgiving of guys like you around these parts. I grew tired of this nonsense a long time ago.

Where did I say I am a Dane? Oh yeah I didn't. You mean Swedish, right?
Apparently you have a huge chip on your shoulder about your Quebec thing. I haven't taken any great interest in your land, I made two comments about it and then you start insulting me for no reason. With a insecure attitude like that wonder so many of your people are determined to break away. I refuse to engage with you in an insecurity-driven debate, so I guess you win. I thought Canadians were supposed to be polite.

Please accept my most sincere apologies, "Mr. Karlsson". You identified yourself as being European in another thread. I took a guess.

I don't have a huge chip on my shoulder about Quebec. In fact, unlike most of the Canadian anglophones who chime in on Quebec-related threads here on City-Data, I've actually lived in Quebec, spending six months in each of Quebec City and Montreal amongst the people of Quebec, and I enjoyed my time there. You made two comments on matters concerning French Canadians and Quebec, strongly supportive of the linguistic rights of French Canadians and of the independence from Canada long hoped for by Quebec separatists, within your first four posts. When you were done with that, as your sixth post, you appear to have tried to provoke BruSan, a vocal Canadian anglophone poster with strong opinions who is well known to people who read threads on the Canada forum, by suggesting what he had offered in a thread was so poorly written that you couldn't understand it. It looks to me like you want to stir the pot and to get people worked up into a lather.
I can't for the life of me fathom why someone who is supposedly from Sweden would:
have such keen interest in French Canadians and in Quebec;
start posting opinions in favour of the right of Michel Thibodeau to assert rights he had been supposedly denied by Air Canada and expressing your excitement that Quebec will one day enjoy independence from Canada; and
start posting about both of the foregoing less than five posts after joining City-Data.
I'd have to suspend reality and enter some kind of alternative universe where people in other countries take deep interest in French Canadians and in Quebec and constantly think about both in order to understand that, really. Or I could do something considerably less complicated and assume that this is a troll using a sockpuppet. And you just had to work in the stereotype about Canadians being friendly, didn't you? I don't have "a insecure attitude" [sic] about anything, my little "Swedish" friend. Now please go back under your bridge and engage in insecurity-driven debates about whatever with your fellow trolls.

Because anyone who thinks that Quebec that those stupid Frenchies say something worthwile they must be trolls...

All he's commented on so far is the abundance of"Quebec-oriented threads" in the Canada section ,and thinks our man who files a 100 legal actions against the government for linguistic trivialities is in his opinion a hero, Not a troll but perhaps some one not familiar or up to speed with the emotions and passions of the Quebec/Canada game.
