And the casing is made externally. In fact, none of the companies make "their own parts". They sell the finished product.

Well. A lot of the Canadian oil comes from Alberta. And BC. And Ontario. And Nunavut. And NWT. And Newfoundland & Labrador. And Nova Scotia. And Saskatchewan. And Manitoba. And Yukon. But, basically, Canada is an oil rich nation.

Quebec has its own standalone economy. Generally, Canadians too are ignorant on this front. The Quebecois do NOT WANT a seperate nation. The Quebecois want recognition of being a very large and very distinct population in Canada. They want Canada to be amended to either recognize the distinct culture in Quebec and parts of Acadia or they want to be internationally recognized. Anyone who knows about Canadian history can say, quite definitively, that Quebec more than any other province has been shafted by the English, Federalism and all other forms of Canadian governance.

On Canada:

We're a socialist wonderland
-I wish we were, but in fact its not true

We're all lumberjacks
-Only 4 people in my extended family are

We're all growers of marijuana
-Only 2 members of my family are

We have a small and weak military
-A staggering amount of my family makes up that military. And remember it's not the size the counts, it's what you do with it.

We all live in igloos
-Rarely true, although I make them around January to eat soup in.

But don't you have Eskimos!?
-No, we don't. They're called Inuits. People that use the term "Eskimo" is either a hick or a racist.

I heard that your Indians live like kings!
-I don't know too much about the Indian community here. They make good curry in Toronto, though...And I've noticed that the Sikh population are very active politically.

I wasn't talking about that kind of Indian!
-There isn't any other kind.

I heard that Toronto is a killing field of gun violence!
-Not really. There have been 40 murders since the beginning of the year. Chicago and other cities that have a population of ~3 million have FAR higher murder rates.

Okay, I'll call them People of First Nations...Aren't they spoiled?
-No. My cousin Barbara lives on a Reserve. She's seen her sister become addicted to heroine, her three closest friends kill themselves and can't buy food on Reserve anymore. In fact, the UN has asked the Canadian government to improve the horrid conditions that are often called the 3rd world in the 1st world.

Is it true that CBC stands for Communist Broadcasting Company?
-Stop listening to Ann Coulter or Bill O'Reilly when they talk about Canada...Or anything really.

Why are your women so sexy?
-Because we put sexiness in the water.

But Alberta has no reason to do that. They've always been properly represented and almost always have had the ability to gain equity from the tax returns from the Federal Government. It has always been a "have" province. Whereas its two neighbours, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, are "have-not" provinces and thoroughly screwed over. The NEP was detrimental to Alberta's economy, but Ontario, Quebec and BC had to pay for all the shortfalls of Alberta. Now that Ontario has been receiving 2 billion from the Federal Government on returns rather than the 23.4 billion it actually requires in returns...But try to explain that to someone from outside of Ontario.

I've always enjoyed Quebecois culture, and as you mentioned, it was the first European culture (excluding the Basques, Vikings and a supposed Roman settlement in Nova Scotia) to actively seek colonization and inhabitation of North America. Their culture is seperate from that of the Anglophone population, quite different too. Whereas the RoC West of Quebec has a fairly homogenous culture, the Quebecois have always had this weird niche. Their films do well in their own province. They actually care about protecting themselves. It's weird. But for some reason, the Seperatist BQ are still nationalistic French and focusing on the Anglo vs Franco argument. They're not focusing on the requirements of the Quebeckers. The PQ on th other hand does a good job of dealing with French-Canadian social wants. Hell, I have most of those social wants.

Those social wants are fascinating though. The Quebecois have some of the lowest church attendance, but most of them will identify with Catholicism with asked. In fact, many will defend the Church (sans the priesthood-pedophilia scandal...No one can defend that). Yet, despite this still fond (semi) closeness to the Church...The Quebecois are still the most socially progressive in Canada. The highest margins of favour for SSM (even many rural areas outstripped urban Ontario and BC when asked). It's really, really weird. Plus, there is that inherent protectionism of their own culture. And really there is only one exception, and that is Montreal which is pretty much divided between Anglo/Franco lines. It's like Toronto to Ontario, Calgary to Alberta or Dildo to Newfoundland. The city everyone else in the province hates

I should stop before I end up writing another thesis paper on the topic Also, I'm going to mention the foundation of Orange Canada furthering Anglo/Franco alienation.

Yeah. Basically, rather than using a pound and a bit of flour and then tossing it into beer batter you use a light wine and crumb batter and bake it

The chips will always be bad for you Unless baked in a very virgin olive oil.
