Go, Already

1. No offense to our maritime friends, but it appears increasingly that it would be nice to have a fault line along the Ottawa River, and another one between New Brunswick and the Gaspe.
   PS, don’t get picky with boundaries. You know what I mean.

2. I hope the fault deviates from the river-line in one or two places.

3. I say “LET THE BASTARDS GO!!”

4. The Ottawa River lies in a rift valley formed between two fault zones. There is a chance that this zone could become more active and push Quebec into the Atlantic, but not for a few more hundreds of millions of years.
   A man can dream, however.

5. this nonsense has been going on most of my life, i imagine it will continue long after i am dead and gone. it is the canadian way don’t you know. we must always has different rules and laws for different people. indians, immigrants, politicans, heck just about everyone except those who have to pay the freight.

6. This is exceedingly stupid, even given the exceeding stupidity of Quebec’s language law.
   There is clearly a difference between signs used as decor and signs used as signs. Unless a particular sign relates to the operations of the establishment in question, it should be disregarded.
   Perhaps Joe Beef should put up a large portrait of General Wolfe.

7. Quebec will soon have to erect a wall along the north shore of the Ottawa to keep out all the immigrants from ROC pouring into the province to experience the civil justice, prosperity and affluence Quebec’s brand of ethnocentric fascism has produced. Language bans, official ethnic discrimination, gun registries and mob-patronized political systems will certainly enhance Quebec’s free, prosperous society.
   I can see them having an illegal alien issue what with the ROC wanting into this martinet utopia.

8. Ottawa is seismically active. I don’t know if a fault line runs along the Ottawa River (it is plausible that it would) but one does run through Carleton University, a fact which will no doubt occasion much pleasure in this blog.

9. Before we get going on East vs. West (and you are all westerners to us Newfs) just remember than
   SK sent the ROC Tommy Douglas and the Diefenbugger. The latter marked a new low for federal politics, a low from which the country actually hasn’t recovered.

10. Speaking of lows, what part of The West did Danny Williams hail from? 😉

11. The tactics employed by the language cops and the powers bestowed upon them in the pending legislation remind me of the tactics employed by the Nazi Brownshirts in the 1930s. Shameful!

12. I remember reading on a slow news day an article arguing that with southwestern Quebec seismically active it was only a matter of time before the Big One laid Montreal low, and wondering what the rest of us would do when it happened.
    The correct answer—rejoice, and give thanks to almighty God—was not seriously considered.

13. Yep, everything that is wrong in Quebec is the fault of the politicians on the other side of the river in Ottawa, according to the pequistes.

14. I’m with you, Kate. They should go already. Or they should wake up to the hardening of attitudes in other provinces towards their childish actions and run Marois and her gang off right quick. The owners of the two restaurants mentioned in the article have taken the right path by going public.
    Perhaps Quebeckers need a reminder – the CPC won the election in 2011 with few Quebec seats. PMSH doesn’t need to play your game. The 2015 election with the new western and Ontario seats won’t make it easier for you.

15. “…the CPC won the election in 2011 with few Quebec seats. PMSH doesn’t need to play your game.”

    That hasn’t stopped PMSH from playing it though, has it? He’ll sell his soul for Quebec votes just as fast as any other partisan federal leader.
    Go Quebec Go!!!….literally.

16. I dunno, being a land-locked country surrounded by pissed-off Scotsmen might be an educational experience for them.

17. Under Marois’s reign of terror my Canada does not include Quebec.

18. too bad the pequistes never read george orwell’s 1984. or did they?

19. Excuse my literal-mindedness but yes there is an actual fault line along the Ottawa River in the upper valley section between Pembroke and Mattawa where flat Ontario meets the Laurentians. This is the reason for the extreme depth of the river near Deep River (duh) and Chalk River.

20. Frankly I am anxiously awaiting the moment when the Quebec language gestapo discovers that the word “Quebec” is not a french word…it’s Algonquin. What will they do then???
