If he comes to Montreal there will be all kinds of drama. Like you say, he didn't want to leave and I don't think he'll be able to have a great season next year no matter who he plays for. I see him signing a single year contract somewhere and going back to Tampa the year after to finish out his...

I sure as hell don't want to see Lecavalier here in Montreal.

Classy move by the Hawks last week after the end of the series. They took out this full page ad in the Boston Globe.

Very sad news today, a Montreal legend has been murdered. Tony Koulakis, founder of Cosmo's, one of Montreal's best known greasy spoons, was found dead in his apartment yesterday. Police have arrested his son, Johnny Koulakis for the murder. Tony was one of the friendliest people I ever met and...

man77777, did you watch any of the games? I doubt it because your 'summary' is totally off the map. The Pens hardly dominated any game in the series. They played well but their vaunted scoring power was controlled by the Bruins defense. Crosby was not even a factor in the series because of the...

"The province is giving Ericsson a non-refundable subsidy of ten-million dollars, along with a ten-year tax holiday and bargain-rate electricity. In return, Ericsson says it will spend close to 1.3-billion dollars on a new IT Center in Vaudreuil-Dorion. The center will create about 60...

Yeah, I'm sure that Americans would be impressed by a $90,000 scandal. Add three more zeros and maybe they'd take notice. The Senate should just be abolished as it serves absolutely no purpose and is a total waste of tax payer dollars.

His English skills are fine. He just likes to try to twist and turn everyone else's posts to mean something they don't. Haven't you noticed that he can't present any argument that isn't based on things that happen elsewhere? He can't make an argument based only on the situation here in Quebec...

I have zero tolerance for people who try to destroy my country or those who discriminate against others for ANY reason. I would be willing to die for my country and I consider anyone who tries to destroy it to be a traitor. If someone doesn't like that, tough shit. And yes, Merlot, I will fight...

And your point is?

Can you show me some examples of my so called 'intolerance' that you love to claim? If there's one person who never has a valid argument, it's you. As much as I have problems with Merlot's way of thinking at times and do not always agree with him, at least he does his best to get his point...

I think the big question coming out of last night's Bruins game is this... Can Sindey Crosby cry and whine any more in game 2 than he did in game 1? He takes a cheap shot bump at Rask at the end of the period and then starts mouthing off at Chara. He may be a great player but he's probably the...

No argument was necessary. Quebec French language nuts like you always like to use how things are in the rest of Canada or elsewhere in the world to deflect responsibility for their actions here in Quebec. You did it yourself in your last post and then include the line I quoted which was...

And you and others like you have perfected this to an art form. :rolleyes:

Merlot, I guess you have not been following my posts on this subject as closely as you claim. What I posted yesterday has been my position from day one of any Quebec language discussion and has been repeated many times, probably each time one of the loonies around here claims that I'm a French...

Tell me something, Merlot...what is so wrong with my position? I accept that some laws in regards to the French language are fine. That includes requiring the French language in a predominant position, not necessarily TWICE as large but predominant, on commercial signs. I have no problem with...

To address point 1... I put the opinions of anyone who does not live in Canada in the same box. But few others show such a misunderstanding of the situation here as you do and no one else is such a fence sitter trying to find the good in everyone's point of view. Pick a side and stick with it...

C'mon Merlot, you can mention me by name. I'm man enough to stand behind my convictions and not try to use events beyond the borders of Quebec as an excuse for behaviour here. As for self responsibility, I happen to work in French as 99% of my clients are French speaking and whenever I am out...

That's weird because I don't recall reading any news stories about the other provinces constantly bitching about anything. Yes, there's the usual intergovernmental griping but that is normal in our system. The reason you will not see similar things in the US is due to a number of things, one is...

When one particular province has been crying for decades over everything under the sun and has tried everything possible to leave Canada including asking a bullshit question in the last referendum, I think it's entirely normal to find a lot of people outside of Quebec who are simply tired of...
