New Canadian Politics Thread

I've yet to see a sovereigntist explain to me what the borders will look like when the first nations decide to stay in Canada....

They’re not pur laine Québécois, so I don’t think they get any say in the matter.

They will when the courts decide it all though. The historic claim to quebec lands, if any exists for the quebecois, is to the part of historic lower Canada that exists within quebecs current borders.

Which is a much smaller country than most sovereigntists think they're getting

Wait until they find out what it costs to print your own currency, issue your own passports and pay for an armed forced to defend it. Sure, they can keep using Canadian dollars, but they will no longer have any input into Canadian monetary policies nor will their needs be taken into account.

Of course, recognizing all these pitfalls is what started the whole "Sovereignty Association" movement back in Levesque's era. But that's never going to happen. If Quebec breaks off the rest of Canada will want nothing to do with them so there won't be any association. They won't be able to "come home on weekends to do their laundry" like a college kid. They'll have to figure out all this shit for themselves and figure out how to pay for it.

It'd also surprise me if anything more than a tiny token fraction of the goodies handed out to Ford's sponsors get clawed back.

Oh, none of that is getting clawed back. At worst there may be some damning words for Ford on page 68 of some random report later on.

That's apparently what Canadians are starting to think in the past year.
It's hilarious recruiting in construction. I talk to clients who wonder if a guy who built a 2 billion hospital in Dubai can supervise guys pouring concrete for a warehouse.. We are so far behind in everything.
Companies in Canada go to extreme for 'Canadian experience". I've had to have a talk with clients about how someone building a major project in downtown London England is fine experience for a Canadian project.
 
It bugs them that McGill and Concordia are right downtown, so their goal is to starve them while they throw small town Bishops a bone

It's really crazy unfair Bishop's gets off from the same rules because they aren't in the city.
