It was the Ville-Marie Expressway.
You're missing some important facts; while the company may be Chinese, it isn't only the Chinese who benefit. The TV is bought in either a Canadian/American/European store. The store benefits, and many times the salesperson makes a commission on the goods they sell. We have the jobs that provide an outlet to sell Chinese products (stores), and it is us (Canadians) who benefit from the product being bought in Canada. While the people at the top of the TV corporation does rake in cash, the Chinese whom are making the product do so at $1 per day, if they're lucky. Would you rather work in an office/as a salesperson in a Western retail company, or work in a Chinese sweat factory? Believe me, we're not the one's being shafted.
“But when we’re talking simply about technical or training missions, I think that is something the executive can do on its own.”
This would make sense... if Canada had a Presidential executive branch.
How is two tiered health-care American? There are tons of countries that have two tiered health-care. Spouting any change to the health-care system that leans towards privatization as "Con ideology" and "American" certainly hasn't benefited Canadians in the last two decades. The average waiting time in a Montréal ER is 24 hours for crying out loud!
The past two weeks Maclean's has been talking about corruption in Québec. Clearly they hit a nerve. What would make you happy? If Maclean's "rednecks" looked at the Bastarache commission and didn't write about it? Didn't discuss it? Didn't discuss the corruption in the construction industry? So the Quebec government can do whatever they want and nobody can criticize them? Would that make you happy?
Yes, some of them. But I remember going to school after the '95 referendum and having stones and getting spat on because I was a "goddamned englishmen," even though I was 15 and couldn't vote. Racism exists on both sides. Remeber Bouchard's "Québec is a race of whites" remark or Parizeau's "ethnic" slip-up?
Our politicians taking reasonable criticism and turning it into a patriotic/national debate issue??? Tell me it ain't so!!!
Calling Anglo-Saxon culture selfish, and then praising the Quebec model isn't talking about a superior culture?
I'm an anglo Quebecer, and I don't believe that Quebecer's and Canadians are different. Albertans are different than Ontarians, Newfoundlander's are different than Quebecers, who are different than Native's, etc. This is what makes Canada great; our diversity. Calling Canadian anglo-saxon culture "selfish" then complaining about Quebec bashing is what drives a lot of hatred towards Quebec. This idea that French culture is superior than any other Canadian culture will do you no good. It makes you look selfish.
Here's what you said: "You guys can disagree but there is a way to do it respectfully" I agree. Now listen to your own advice, and stop being a hypocrite.
