I’m half Québécois and never excuse racism from anyone. I’m pointing out that those who feel oppressed in Québec are the same dumbass boomer fucks who feel that one iota of discomfort on their part is oppression despite being very clearly part of the dominant group.

Through gutting of public education, gutting of services to new immigrants, having an extremely inefficient bureaucracy that requires jumping insane hoops to navigate (even as a French speaker), Québec makes it extremely difficult for immigrants to integrate then shits on them for not doing it exactly the way they find acceptable.

Just because you’ve suffered past discrimination, does not give you a pass forever into the future to the same that was done to you.

You’re absolutely right that the rest of Canada makes itself feel better by favourably comparing itself to Québec, but they were a bad place for immigrants before the CAQ and are quickly getting worse.

Oh yeah, I can't remember a Quebec government that wasn't at least mildly racist. And garbage in so many other ways.

But Jesus the Quebec Anglo media is completely bonkers.

I think any country in the commonwealth basically lets you buy citizenship if you've got enough money to "invest". Speaking of which, I've seen ads and offices popping up around Winnipeg offering help with student visas/super visas, one of the places looks suspiciously similar to that school in BC that offered student visas but didn't actually offer classes.

Quebec as a province is just as hosed as the rest of us. It is a province full of bad politics and racists, much like the ROC.

That said, my wife and her entire family are pur-laine québécois who are either bilingual or speak enough English to get by. They’re nice people who don’t hate the dreaded anglos, don’t want to separate, and aren’t a bunch of racists.

Quebec is a land of contrasts.

completely off topic, but do you watch F1 on regular cable or is there a way for me to watch without giving Rogers even more of my money?

I stream on TSN which requires a cable sub if you don't want to pay bell.

there's a motorsports stream reddit that links pirate streams but they usually get shut down a bunch so you have to hop around.


Also, Scheer looks like a tragic time machine accident involving a catholic priest and the child he was molesting.

I love hockey but holy christ has it turned into a terrible TV experience. I had an NHLTV account for ~5 years so I could only watch american streams but i've lost interest.

The Canadian coverage is so awkwardly .... i don't know somewhere between patriotic and jingoistic. It makes me cringe so hard.

While there is more Canada west of Ontario(mild shock!) a warmer climate won't exactly be a net benefit there. The prairie cities' sprawl is loving disgusting, but canada is really loving big.

Southern Alberta/Saskatchewan is already a desert and while most of the biomass that created the good soil in central/northern Alberta formed during the medieval warm period, there was a much smaller population to support. Northern Alberta could be a huge farming center in 200 years but the next 100 are going to be loving rough. It was once believed Fort Vermillion(pop. 727) would be Alberta's capital, with the Peace River region being Alberta's breadbasket, but that was largely before trains replaced river steamers.

That said, there is evidence barley was grown in Greenland in that same period, but that again is 200 years out, and assumes we don't get invaded for our water by India or china once the Himalayas stop feeding the rivers in southeast Asia.

Within the next 50 years, i would imagine the most valuable land in the world could be the clay belt in Ontario/Quebec, and in the peace river region of Alberta/BC. Siberia might have fertile land but I'm not sure they have the robust water cycle to support the same level of agriculture.

On the other hand, these statements are based on acquired knowledge and made in good faith, so are largely irrelevant. Keep having a bunch of kids and breeding large dogs and buying a new truck every 2 years because things will be better than fine, they'll be great!
