The idea that there can be two nations in one country is farcical. Our P(rocrastination)M(ajor) Stephen Harper has declared "That this House recognize that the Québécois form a nation within a united Canada.". What a joke, the fact that it was done to head off a Blockhead (pun intended) motion to declare the Québécois a nation with no reference to Canada, seems to escape everyone.
Now I see today that a lawyer in Quebec is pushing the national ice hockey federation to allow a Quebec "national" team in the next world ice hockey championship. This folks is only the tip of the iceberg.
With Quebec receiving special mention how long will it be before the native peoples ask for the same. And, in my opinion, if any group deserves special mention it is the aboriginal and Inuit communities who do.
What next - will the west ask to be declared a nation, will Alberta ask to be declared an independent nation because they have most of the oil/gas/money? Where will it end? I think that PM S.H. has opened a giant can of worms that will unravel over time. This time I think you've made a poor choice Stephen.
Cheers from the Valley.
