  1. Hopefully this isn’t too O/T but earlier today I read on another website that “Quebecois” refers to a woman from Quebec. Is this true?

  2. Chris S. @ 3:44, exactly. The 1848 crowd has another foothold in France. Hollande is carrying on the traditions of the 1848 revolution, the 1871 Paris Commune and the 1789 Jacobin radicals, and hoping to fulfill Karl Marx’s dream. In 1794 the Jacobins were overthrown because of failed economic policies. Hopefully the French people wise up and throw them out again. But, the 7th century culture is an increasing background and poised to increase their influence.

  3. sorry knight, you aren’t a troll. Disagreeing and arguing about issues, even very strongly, isn’t what makes a troll.
    A troll is someone who moves out of debating and discussing issue and starts to insult, mock and denigrate another person.
    I respect your sincerity and the integrity of your beliefs. I may not agree with them, and I’ll continue to argue with you, but I respect you.
    And I hope I never stoop to personally harassing or insulting you, as a person. Or insulting your beliefs. Disagreeing is quite another thing, but insulting someone personally – that’s cheap talk.

  4. Depends, fracking takes a lot of water, so if you are already critically short of water for other uses, then you don’t want to be adding fracking demands on top of that.

  5. France has never really been the same after the court moved to Versaille. Oh well, nothing to lose your head over. My real question is how come NDPequist is still paying of his Quebec student loan five years after? I mean really.

    Damn, that’s too bad, on those orders nomedeblog will be forced back into his cage. 🙂
    Thank you anyway for your gracious and benevolent pardon, I will also do my best to keep it as civil as my lowly social bearing will allow.

  7. From the article:
    “Mr. Hollande could have opened the door to a potentially transformative energy opportunity, brought down consumer prices and created a new domestic industry, with all the jobs that go with it. Too bad he once again chose ideology over prosperity.”
    Stupid by accident or by design? YOU decide.
    Guys, Quebeckie is not too vite on the uptake so parlez-vous tres lenetement, s’il vous plait.

  8. MG42, the only “women from Quebec” most of us see are strippers.
    I consider myself very fortunate, I do know one (1) woman from Quebec who is -not- a stripper.

    “Depends, fracking takes a lot of water”
    Also depends on formation properties, hydrocarbon fracs in gas wells i.e. condensate is superior to using saline and clay stabilisers in gas wells.
    Issues that should concern most people are accidentally fracing into upper aquifers along with farc fluid chemical additives.
    The truth is these accidents happen occasionally throughout a variety of wellbore drilling, completions, and work-over operations. It’s not limited to dedicated & planned “frac’s” alone; it is a form of “collateral damage” in the search for oil & gas. The industry is improving exponentially in earnest with technology and experience since the first oil well was “stimulated” with a stick of dynamite.
    But you can never avoid Mother Nature along with mechanical and human error completely.

    What? A half-second flow of a big river? Less?

  11. Scar >
    Yup “Water Injection” wells pump water downhole all day every day to displace or herd oil from one part of a reservoir to a production well.
    Water used in frac’s is recovered and disposed of (injection wells) by swabbing or flowing back after a frac.

  12. “Better be green and a little bit poorer than living rich in a totally polluted world”
    The cleanest countries in the world are those who embrace free market capitalism and democracy; the filthiest are those 3rd world dictatorships or socialist/commie squats who respect neither personal or economic freedom. You know Q-Troll, like your favorite haunts: russia, eastern europe, china.
    And, CO2 isn’t a “pollutant”, or didn’t they teach you that in public school in la Belle Handout?

  13. Que?
    I am always right because I am the epitome of the evolved et enlightened man. You Christo-fascist knuckle-draggers don’t even believe in science and evolution, which of course existe in the first place only to support humankind’s progress towards the pinnacle of achievement in human civilization: Quebec.

  14. mhb, exactly right.
    The cleanest countries in the world are those with free market capitalist economies and constitutional democracies. People with the power to express how they want their society to function won’t permit the dirt and pollution of the third world dictatorships, and insist that their taxes go to provide clean air, clean water and safe streets. In the third world, it’s ‘thug power’.
    Also, quebecois’ claim is a false Either-Or assertion. It is untrue that you EITHER have a ‘green’ and poor environment OR a polluted and rich environment. Totally false.
    And, as you say, CO2 isn’t a pollutant. Most hard core media followers don’t know this.

  15. I hope there is another referendum. I will demand from PMSH that ALL of Canada gets to vote. We’ll get rid of the blood suckers one way or another.

  16. Talsiman alone is permited for about 11,000cm per day, Another company is looking for 3,000,000cm annaully from a another river to the North. They use far less water than they did even 5 years ago, but they still use significant amounts of water. In NE BC that’s not a showstopper of an issue, but in Europe in may very well be the main issue.

  17. Socialism = slavery. Get rid of the ideology and turn to prosperity.Fracking is good and Quebec is not so good.
