As some of you already know I love to post items that create controversy. I want to elicit a response and see if anyone really reads my blog.
Well apparently one person in Western Canada does.... here is his/her response to my Monday posting.....
If the east (small e ) wants to seperate, by all means go ahead. Then AB. and Sask. won't have to keep sending money to the have not provences to keep pissing away like there is a bottemless pit out West (big W) to keep feeding from. 19 dollars an hour for day-care workers in Que! Bullshit |
It would appear that this person is either too young or too selfish to remember the decades when the East, in particular Ontario, was the economic engine of Canada and supported the West as well as the East.
While frustrated Ontario never, NEVER, called for separation.
To the best of my knowledge the only Provinces to do so have been Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec.
My point is that the West has NEVER been inclusive regardless of their economic position. In the late 80's and early 90's the sands were dead yet they never acknowledged the contribution Ontario made to Canada.
I would like to thank the writer for his lack of Nationalism and compassion for Canada. Note that the writer did not have the courage of his conviction as he/she posted as "anonymous".
I am the one who responded to your post on tuesday Feb. 21/2012. If you go back and read your post, It was you who suggested that Ont. Que. and the Atlantic provences should seperate, not me. I was only saying if you wanted to, go ahead. A little background about myself. I was born in Ont. in 1944 (not a youngster, sorry to say). I grew up in Montreal, which is still the best city in the world, bar none. I left Que.when Rene Levesque was elected. I moved to Calgary as one of the Eastern bums and creeps, as per R Klein. (sure wish I knew how to start a new paragraph). I didn't like it when the seperatists talked about seperation, and I sure as hell don't like it now. I am a flag waving Canadian and damn proude of it. If you are pissed off because a Westerner was elected P.M. tough shit. It was the best choice for Canada, and probably for the west.But a hell of a lot of votes came from Ont. too. I suppose you think Iggy or Giles would have been a better choice? Just suck it up for now, and in about 3 years you can choose again. So stop your whining, and be proud to live in the best country in the world. If you don't like it, you can always seperate by yourself. Pack your bags and go live in Iran or some other fine country. Excuse my rant, but anyone talking about breaking up this country needs a kick in the ass, you included. My name is Pete, and I approved this message.
ReplyDeleteWhoever you are Pete, good message. Sorry to see that it is hidden here. Your first message made the top of the blog. This one didn't.
