lot lamer. One great weekend in Montreal is all it takes to forgive a lot of the crap they pull. On a side note, how the hell did the Americans end up owning so much of the BC coastline? Because the British sold us out. It was land claimed by Russia and offered to England, but England turned it down to improve relations with the Americans who had their eye on it. Then Canada negotiated the boundary poorly after the Americans bought the land from Russia. I was recently reading about BC and confederation, and they were really close to joining the U.S. as well, so I guess we got lucky there. Their infrastructure and economy were more closely linked to San Francisco than the rest of Canada at the time. I think the approach that needs to be taken needs to shift into much more stick than carrot. The problem is they are swing voters and therefore need to be bought. I don't understand what kicking them would look like. We would need to quit subsidizing. them to the current extent and eventually they vote to leave. I would be okay with an approach like that but it won't happen because Quebec is an easy place to buy votes. I have missed something, what are they doing thats all bad and that is getting worse. They are the prodigal son of the family. They are constantly going to school at the expense of your share of the inheritance, but
