The Quebec Question

[mccoyred]

This topic was referenced as an issue of ACCEPTANCE not necessarily race. People are prejudiced based on their perception of one group vs another. These groups can be religious, cultural OR racial. Granted it was probably a poor analogy but it does speak of the limited, perhaps distorted, information Americans learn about Canada.

Okay,

It was really interesting that the Quebec seperatist issue was brought up by an American as an issue of race. The reality is that he is in many ways correct. I suppose the oddity in Canada is that the movement does have a great deal of support in this country, and that it is also a minority movement that has enough strength to pose such a threat. I guess how much of a threat actually present is a matter of opinion and discussion.

Sometimes I don't even want to say anything because I'm all worried my info is going to be wrong and i'm gonna look like an @ss.

But as sad as it sounds, lil_g, i think the percentage of Canadian posters on this site is probably stistically similar to the ratio of Canadian Greeks to American. There just aren't too many of us . So we all gotta stick together .
