Again? Texas does this almost every election cycle and they aren't dumb enough to try it. Or maybe they are. That'd be a show.
As a born and raised Texan, I’ve been seeing “Secede” bumper stickers for decades now. However, it’s the first time that I remember the governor saying it. So it is still notable, even if it’s old rhetoric.
I'm Canadian and this is like Quebec for us. None of us take them seriously, they do this so often. They're also land locked and would die without the rest of the country. I for one would love it if French Canada stopped having so much political pull over the rest of the country.
People from the ROC hating Quebec without knowing anything about it is normal, but I have never seen someone forget the St Laurence River exists before.
I wish QC had more of an influence over the ROC, I'd learn the language the best I could to have the whole country adopt EU style consumer and privacy rights, and the tenants rights Quebec has. I felt like voting for Blanchet last time over the other bums honestly.
The funny thing about the language issue is that the really hardcore seperatists here would be 100% behind someone who resented needing to learn French in Alberta or elsewhere, and that is what all of their controversial language legislation is all about. They want to create a situation in which a francophone need not learn any English at all in order to live and prosper in Quebec.
I think that is a a pointless goal and I don't support it, but I find the people who really dislike Quebec and it's influence have very similar attitudes to the nationalists here, while not being aware of it.
Your desire to learn French is admirable and I can say it is a silly and beautiful language, and it will teach you a lot about English while you learn it.
