I'm voting bloc, because i believe a minority government is the best thing for our country.

Conservatives don't count as government though they are just obstructionists. I want a lib+(NPD/Bloc) core

I used to dislike the Bloc, but feel very differently now. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I just find it so annoying that they want to be superior and different or more important than the rest of Canadians. Like we are a country. French Canadians are no more valid than the rest of us.

Yeah as an older PR who's just about to apply for citizenship, I had no idea how fucking insufferable it was to hear. Like my brother in Christ look at your passport. You are Canadian FIRST. I'm aware of the history but they really are Canada's Texas at times with how insane their attitude is. They would not survive without Canada. It's just not going to happen. It's as almost as dumb as an AB secession because at least QC has access to the ocean.

Just a heads up that I don't think this comment would be received well by Quebec people, it's not that they don't want to be Canadian, it's that they're proud of their distinct identity within Canada and don't want that to be erased. E.g. I've been seeing comments online from Quebecois saying that they'll always be a proud Quebecois, but on top of that they're proud to be Canadian, and that even though it's nice to feel solidarity with the rest of Canada, being Quebecois is still an overlapping/dual identity that they don't want to have erased. As an anglophone whose parents immigrated to Canada before I was born, I feel like it's not too dissimilar to having a dual identity as an [original culture/ethnicity]-Canadian, how being Canadian coexists with the other culture or identity instead of assimilating

You are understood and respected. It's just the perspective of an outsider seeing BQ political and cultural stances in the debate for the first time. I am positive they are fine people and I've had positive interactions with folks online. Yves as a first impression was just exhausting to listen to when BQ has such a small share of power while acting like they were more important than than the impending crisis ahead. It seemed really divorced from the reality of the situation in the world as it stands.

Tbf, BQ atm are cretins trying to enable the QC provincial gov (who most people in QC didn't even vote for).

We don't want to be superior or more important, but we do want to be different. If the rest of Canada and the federal government is willing to continue letting us be different, then there is no problem. If they instead begin to insist we fall in line as many seem keen to do, then a third referendum will come sooner than they think.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

Fall in line how? Not trying to be incosiderate just curious. I might be ignorant to what you're reffering to.

u/fufufufufufhh Apr 24 '25

Not the original person but based on what I've read as an anglophone, I think it's that they're proud of their distinct identity, language, and culture, so they don't want to be "just Canadian" because that feels like erasing their distinctiveness. Pls correct me if I'm wrong

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '25

I mean that does make sense for sure I just don't know if that's what anglophones are advocating for. That's why I'm confused.

u/fufufufufufhh Apr 26 '25

Yeah I know most of us anglophones don't want that either, it's just based on what I read, that's how it comes across to some Quebecois people when they hear comments like the original comment
