25 Replies to “Quebec And Its Canadian Colonies”

    1. I wish the Alberta government would pass a law that all Canadian products had to be labeled as to what province they come from. I buy as few things from eastern Canada as possible, been doing it for thirty years or more. I love seeing that stupid ‘Proudly Made in Canada’ label on products so I can avoid them. A small contribution to the war but a contribution nonetheless.

      1. My personal favourite solution is dissolving confederation and every province going its own way. I live under a city government a municipal government and a provincial government, don’t need another layer above that.

  1. How much of Quebec’s motivation is to see the West, largely AB , get knocked down a notch?

    In viable alternative universe, Canada could be behave like Norway. Rapidly and aggressively exploiting our oil and gas, but through domestic policies encourage the switch away from fossil fuels.

    In this scenario, the West becomes significantly more powerful in our Dominion. Quebec less so.

    I live in ON, but if I was an Albertan, I would be asking these questions. If I didn’t get satisfactory answers I’d be plotting an escape from our nation. Perhaps taking Sask and Man with me.

    1. Well it’s not just Quebec’s motivation to knock down the West a notch, it was also the reason behind the NEP that Comrade Trudeau and his henchman Marc Lalonde put together. As described in David Kilgour’s 1988 book, Uneasy Patriots, Lalonde said

      “The major factor behind the NEP wasn’t Canadianization or getting more from the industry or even self-sufficiency. The determinant factor was the fiscal imbalance between the provinces and the federal government. Our proposal was to increase Ottawa’s share appreciably, so that the share of the producing provinces would decline significantly and the industry’s share would decline somewhat.”

      In other words, steal Alberta resources.

  2. Quebec must radically re-imagine itself or it must go

    (that would look great on a t-shirt, by the way)

  3. K-bec takes care of itself first.
    Immigration, taxation, French first, etc.
    K-becers are the least travelled “Canadians” within the country and their ignorance of the rest of the country is not only unparalleled, but of little concern to them.
    They’ll even drink wine from France over Canadian wine even if its dreck.
    If the Ottawa river became the Pacific ocean they’d cheer, break out the Labatt 50 and Molson and don their banana hammocks.

    Juthtin Trudeau, the Liberal Party of Canada, the Supreme Court, the Privy Council and most of the upper management of the Federal bureaucracy would enslave real Canadians to serve K-bec if they could.

    K-becers are socialists through and through. They give the least per capita to charity of any province because they think its the government’s job.
    K-becers and their allies are your enemy, Canada.
    In Ottawa, if you say you’re going to the Dark Side, everybody, even the snobby Parasite Class, knows its across the river.
    It is a separate country/nation, not a post-nation, and Juthtin Trudeau will do anything for it. Anything.

    1. “…would enslave real Canadians to serve K-bec if they could.”

      Buddy, they have already.

  4. I’ve been using the word colony to describe Alberta’s position in Canada for several years now. In my opinion Canada doesn’t need to be fixed, it needs to be decolonized.

    1. What happens with the indigenous if Alberta and Saskatchewan decide to exit? I can’t remember how Quebec planned on dealing with the situation.

  5. If Quebecers truly believed in the “green’ ideology, they would reject the annual $12 billion the province receives in equalization payments from the western provinces since it comes from fossil fuel revenues. Ya, that’s gonna happen.

  6. And their much-vaunted hydro isn’t THAT green either
    There are studies showing that hydro has a more adverse environmental impact than had previously been assumed.

    1. How about a chart showing accumulated sales of hybrids and EV’s across the provinces. R de quebecers drinking the koolaid buying lo-range rovers?

    2. Q Bec’s hydro sales are NOT included in equalization calculations. If they were, they would be paying out, not taking in.
