During 2000, $7 million was spent on Canada Day celebrations across the country by the federal government - $5 million in Quebec alone. Moreover, in 1998/99, the federal government spent $29 million in Quebec on events and groups promoting Canada's federation, while only allocating $1.3 million to similar activities in Western Canada.

I farmed in 'Meadsted' Sask for a couple years. It's outside of North Battleford. Suppose Ontario is the Manufacturing capital of Canada and it had attracted a lot of both Easterners and Westerners.

No change coming in the near future as long as regional parties are allowed to run for national office. Do you think the PQ could EVER get a seat outside of Quebec? So why should it be allowed to run on a national level. I'm not blasting Quebecers but someone, tell me the relevence here. I don't see it.

Else, perhap's Canada should release itself from the agreement.
That's what I'm hoping will happen. I could care less about the money, I just hope this situation leads to the demise of NAFTA as that will penalize the US more then 5 Billion dollars.

Everyone wants to stick it to America. Jealousy is an interesting
thing.
You hate that which you want but cannot attain.
