Quebec A Nation Pro and Con

The political Blogosphere in Canada has responded to the Conservative Governments motion that This House recognizes that Québécois form a nation within a united Canada. Lets see who is pro and con and undecided.

If you think I have placed you in the wrong catagory please let me know.

This is of course based upon postings on the Progressive Bloggers, Blogging Tories and the Canadian Blog Exchange aggregators as of the time of this posting.

And there is national unity here the Pro side recognizes the Quebecois as a historic nation, peoples, etc. The Con side declares itself for pure Federalism. Ah finally we can all talk to each other.

The management takes no responsibility for any underwear that gets tied in a knot.

Why does the NDP support the Bloc's "nation" motion?

Yes, Quebec is a Nation. Live with it.

    If anyone cares about my opinion, I'm kind of leaning against.

    The more you feed this nationalism thing, the more you feed the separatism. It seems counter-intuitive, but that's the way it is.

    Leave the issue alone.

  2. I am against this motion, eugene. When you throw bones to so-called "soft nationalists", it can only lead to greater demands.

    In other words, when you begin to officially recognize smaller factions within a country as "nations", it is no longer symbolic and can only lead to further discussions of divisions [balkanization].
