I hate to interject a little fact in your rhetoric Cosmo, but only 60% of French Canadians voted Yes. French Canadians represent 80% of Quebec's registered voters - "Money and the ethnic groups" couldn't have defeated Mr. Parizeau alone Cosmo, we needed help from 40% of francophones to do it.

He could have also said that they lost the referrendum because French Canadians DID NOT massively vote YES! Inspector Cluso would also not be needed to figure out that Ethnics do NOT make up anywhere near 50% (+1) of the voting population in the province of Quebec. Lets not confuse having...

Well naughtylady this is one of the very few times I don't agree with you, without going into too much detail at one point in my life I had money, more money than I probably should have had at a young age. Life was great, I went where I wanted when I wanted didn't have to spend 1 minute worrying...

Although I have never done the Montreal - Halifax trip, I love to take the train and do whenever my schedule permits.

Well EagerBeaver this is just not acceptable up here in the land of touques and strippers!:mad: I am at a loss for words to be honest - defense looked slow lazy and old, guys up front had no chemistry, hockey gods may well have knocked Gretzky on his ass for not putting Crosby on the team...

I would be very interested in seeing the unemplyoment rate of 17% for blacks in Quebec compared with the unemployment rates of other visible minorities in Quebec (ie. Asians, east Indians, etc...) as opposed to comparing it to the rest of the population.

I do see your point femaleluver2, but todays amateur athletes are not passing up on millions of dollars to play "for the love of the game" they simply (and unfortunatly I guess) excel in sports that are not capable of making them millionairs. My point really is that I don't think we should...

Getting off of Team Canada (who didn't play very well today in win over the Czechs) and on to amateur athletes for a minute, IMHO "amature" athletes don't really exist anymore. Sure there are a few cases of obscure sports like luge, nordic combined, and I guess curling but in most of the other...

zigezon, I'm not even a that big of a Gretzky fan, I don't care if he is there or not BUT he is not causing a distraction - Nobody wants to loose but sometimes teams, yes very talented teams, slump and loose it happens. Gretzky by the way is not in Italy to provide leadership (I'm not...

If someone out there was willing to pay female hockey players millions of dollars then you would call them millionair spoiled athletes too! The only reason they play only "for the love of the game" is because there is no market to make them millionairs. What about all the other Olympics...

It's all about chemisty and right now Team Canada has none. Replacing Bertuzzi with Spezza will not bring chemistry, Team Canada will either find theirs and win or they won't - that type of thing happens in these short tournements. There is no shortage of effort or talent on this team.

Yes I have an idea :cool: - My Valentines day sucked too by the way, the most exciting point came when an ex-girlfriend of mine called me (who I haven't spoken to in about 2 years AND who happens to live in Europe by the way) to blame me for ruining Valentines Day for her forever :confused...

The substance he tested positive for can act as a masking agent for a certain type of steroid, it is found in medication taken for hair loss (which Theodore does take). It is important to know that it only masks one specific type of steroid and nothing else, also it was only added to the banned...

Wow, I love a girl with a shoe/boot addiction! Note to self - must find time to meet Autumnhaze.

asimplepicture, The club you're talking about is called Circus (on St-Timothe - probably spelled wrong - a little north of Ste.Catherine) It is an afterhours club, opens at 2AM, BUT Circus is NOT like Thursdays. The women at Circus are hot and yes there are some SP's and a lot of dancers that...

Well said EagerBeaver you make a very good point.

Good news/Bad news A little off the current topic but the good news (for me anyway) is I'm back in Montreal and was out at my favorite bar last night (1082 sauna) - The bad news is that there are now more single guys than ever :eek: There is still a good time to be had it just takes a...

Dr. Pepper shots: Take one shot glass of Ameretto and drop it in a half glass of beer - drink it in one shot and it tastes just like Dr.Pepper!

Team Canada put on a perfect display of hockey, wow these kids were great. They allowed 6 GA in 6 games, think about that for a minute thats just incredible! Couldn't be more proud of them today, it's a great day to be Canadien. Hats off to Coach Sutter who just won back to back Gold Medals...

I'd take Leinart over Young in the draft too, but I personally prefer the style of Leinart (more gun less run). I would even take Leinart over Bush - I think Leinart could be that solid, talented guy who quietly just wins (Aikmen, Brady) it seems those guys don't come around as often as...
