					Montreal, Fall 1992.

To whom it may concern,

In order to complete a Ph.D. dissertation in the field of political science 
I must verify a certain number of propositions. To do so, I must gather data.
To gather data I must ask people to fill a questionnaire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If yourself or your parents were born in a country other than Canada you| 
qualify as a respondent. You must also be a resident of the province 
of Quebec.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to receive a copy of the questionnaire or further details, please 
send me a message or provide me with a postal address. You should expect the
questionnaire to arrive via Canada Post within the week. 

P.S. Thank you to those who have already accepted to participate in the
study.

Regards.

David H. Irwin

Please note: this posting should appear only in the Quebec distribution
area. If you can read this posting outside the province of Quebec, please
disregard it. The survey is limited to Quebec residents. Thanx!

 Where in Nova Scotia are you planning on bike riding?  You're most
likely going to be in Cape Breton, which is a little farther north then
I am.  
 
 Since when did you ever get the idea that Nova Scotians hated Tories?
Nova Scotia is the MOST Conservitave province IN Canada.  We've re-elected
CABINET minister's that have been caught with their hands in the cookie
jar ;-)   You may have heard that a lot of us don't like the fact that
the "gift giving" from John Buchanan got "a little" to much to handle.  
He purchased some self cleaning toilet seat covers for about fifty-thousand,
from a friend of his; something that the province sold off for about
$200 grand total.  ;-)  We've had a Tory run province for the last 14
years, and the people are just getting tired of the dirty deals going on ;-)

Quebec already has free trade with the US, since it is currently part of
Canada.  If it becomes independent, it will have to negotiate again with
the US and also with Canada...it can't possibly gain as favorable terms

   En 1763, un traite (le traite de Paris?) accorde le Canada au

   l'Ontario et le sud des Grands Lacs (par exemple, Fort Erie ou

I would phrase that a bit differently.  Governments like to get
elected; they get elected by making promising us lots of free goodies
("free" means they won't raise taxes, or won't raise them too much).
So as long as we (collective we, *I* didn't vote for these guys!  :-) )
keep voting for the party promising the most goodies and the fewest
taxes, we will have deficits.

Don't blame the government - let's blame ourselves for electing them.
And since blame is futile anyway, let's move on to the next step and
try to vote a bit more intelligently next time (not that the choice
will be easy - all the major parties are promising free goodies now).

Unfortunately, as voters, the message we seem to send on the deficit
has been:  We're mad as hell, but we'll just keep on taking it.

Many of North America's most beautiful names come from aboriginal languages,
(e.g. "Canada") and most people would oppose changing them on the grounds
that those languages are no longer predominant.

There are examples of ethnocentrism on all sides.

Rene' Levesque was still warm in the casket when Dore' decided to
do away with "Dorchester Boulevard".  Plamondon metro station
would more logically have been called Van Horne.  Etc. etc.

And on francophones' behalf I can complain: despite the heavy involvement
of francophones in hockey, why are the NHL divisions and conferences
called "Smythe" "Norris" "Adams" "Patrick" "Campbell" and "Wales"?
Why is "Cote Ste. Antoine" now called "Westmount"?  Etc. etc.

On the other hand, I find the technique of francizing names by prepending
a saint, used in the Eastern Townships, to be charming.  You end up with
an amusing marriage of French and English: "Sainte Marguerite de Lingwick,"
"Sainte Catherine de Hatley," "Saint Adolphe de Dudswell" and so on.

I don't know about Miller and the BC premier, however Turner did win
a Liberal Party Leadership Convention, which is more democratic than
if Trudeau had hand picked him. Besides, Turner if anything was no worse
a schmuck than Trudeau, and at least was a new schmuck. And as somebody

    But what's really worrying me right now is the referendum of Sep 20.
    In France, on the Maastricht treaty.  It seems only too possible
    that the peaceful unification of Europe could be brought to a
    screeching halt, on issues much more trivial in comparison to what
    is at stake than those that will decide many votes on the Canadian
    constitutional update.  And what doesn't move in geopolitics in one
    direction tends not to stay still, but to move in the other.

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the current peace,
    since 1945, between the great powers of Europe - Britain, France,
    and Prussia (later Germany) (and, if you exclude wars between
    proxies, Russia) - is the longest in the last three centuries at
    least, and shows promise of indefinite extension if the momentum
    created in the early post-WWII years can be maintained.  But that
    can only be done if the individual nations continue to yield
    their traditional powers to emerging central government.

Increasing trade should be able to keep the peace in Western Europe,
and whatever the results of the Maastricht round, the customs duties
barrier should fall on schedule on January 1.

    So, for the next few weeks, a Oui in Paris will be something I
    worry about much more than one in Montreal.

I view the Maastricht Treaty much like the Meech Lake accord (to keep
this thread related to Canada).  It's failure won't mean an immediate
end to the drive towards European unity, but will cause the Eurocrats
to be more open in their deliberations.

It's not bad...but it is getting worse quickly...about 13 cents out
of every dollar of provincial government revenue goes to debt service.

Under the NDP, provincial spending has gone from historical and
tradition levels of about 15% of GDP to almost 20% of GDP.

Well, that's probably true on the face of it, but I think the point is
to establish a precedent with other European countries.  I believe,
although I could be totally wrong, that US carriers can't fly between
countries of the EC, and this is probably a wedge in the door for that.

It sounds like people here are against open skies even with an
Canadian monopoly.
