Wow. I've just moved back to Quebec after 8 years out of province. The ignorance and large amount of just plain old anger behind the whole sepratist movement just makes me sad. There are so many arguments I can make against such a movement... but alas the small minds you seem to get in here wouldn't be able to handle it.

Fagstein, I am with you. .qc, .ca... who freakin' cares. Just another thing for you freaks to bitch about.

Apparently by "separatist with nothing better to do" you meant the UNANIMOUS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY... MERCI AUX 7 000 SIGNATAIRES ! Daniel Turp Député de Mercier à l'Assemblée nationale du Québec (www.danielturpqc.org) Depuis le 14 avril dernier, vous avez été près de 7 000 personnes à participer à l'Opération POINT-QC et à avoir signé la pétition réclamant une extension nationale pour le Québec sur la Toile. Je vous en remercie et remercie en outre les organismes qui ont participé à l'opération visant à favoriser la signature de la pétition, et en particulier le Mouvement national des Québécois et des Québécoises (MNQ). En lançant cette opération il y a près de 3 mois, je ne me doutais pas qu'un autre organisme, en l'occurrence PointQuébec, faisait également la promotion d'une identité québécoise sur la Toile auprès de l'Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Le mercredi 11 juin dernier, j'ai d'ailleurs co-parrainé une motion conjointe à l'Assemblée nationale voulant « Que l'Assemblée nationale appuie l'initiative des promoteurs de l'organisme PointQuébec auprès de l'Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers pour l'obtention d'une extension générique de premier niveau dans l'Internet exclusive au Québec. Qu'elle appuie cette demande pour aider au succès de nos entreprises et faire progresser les intérêts du Québec sur la scène internationale ». L'Assemblée nationale du Québec a adopté cette motion à l'unanimité de ses membres. L'adoption de cette motion m'a réjoui et j'ai eu l'occasion de saluer la volonté du ministre Raymond Bachand de favoriser l'émergence d'une identité québécoise sur la Toile dans mon intervention lors du débat sur cette motion. Je ferme donc la présente pétition. À compter de maintenant, je vous invite à offrir votre soutien à l'organisme PointQuébec en vous rendant sur son site à l'adresse www.pointquebec.org et en devenant un supporteur de PointQuébec.

I love how this debate is just people calling you an angryphone but not actually defending any of their points.

"That’s kinda impressive. I mean…that there are still separatists out there after being beat down so many times." It's not a hockey game, buddy. When you've got a province where 35% of separatists is considered a historical low, I'd take that as a clue that were talking about a seriously messed up country. So I'd say a .qc domain is the least of your worries. Take some of that energy and figure out how to keep McGill doctors from leaving Québec and teach Sandra at American Apparel how to say : "Bonjour, est-ce que je peux vous aider?"

''Half the people on the metro are PQ MNAs? Wow, no wonder their party is in bad shape. Actually, I think half the people on the metro are crazy Habs fans.'' Hello. I'm a sovereignist . And i take the metro. And i am a Habs fan. Maybe not crazy though. My family is sovereignist too. Sometimes they take the metro, and also enjoy a good ol' Canadien's hockey game. My friends too, in fact. Hmm so yes , maybe if you take the metro, the person in the seat in front of you could be one of '' these people''. :) don't worry we are nice people. Some of us have anglo friends, and enjoy english blogs about Montreal, like me! ;)

You got separatists reading your site? That's kinda impressive. I mean...that there are still separatists out there after being beat down so many times. They're sorta like the whimpering dog that keeps coming back to get booted agaion. They sorta grow on you after a while.

Of all the posts you've made, this is not one I mentally flagged when I saw it. Seems you've touched a nerve, though.

A pointless, ridiculous nerve.

Don't you realise you're making an ass of yourself on your own blog. You have in past posts derided people who act in the same angryphone fashion as you, but now you're acting like one of them yourself. I agree with the above poster, I have seriously lost all respect for you.

Dear hater,

Please dont change, and continue to express yourself. People like you are helping our cause.
I will show your comments to fellow " Quebecois", that have moments of doubts.

Many thanks for all your help and Vive le Quebec libre.

The Gazette's fagstein is flogging the idea that the Internet should not have a .qc domain. Federalists with nothing better to do ar angry at the very idea of their beloved .ca diapearing from Québec-based websites.

It's tis kind of jingoistic nationalist thinking that created a country of Canadian flag waving, Canadian beer drinking, Canadian Roots sweaters wearing at manufactured Canada day events on july 1st that nearly pissed Québec out of Canada for the 3rd time in 20 years wit a Canadian Flag scandal!

Can someone tell these people that within or without Canada, we are not just one of their cultural communities? We are different and wish to adress the world on our our own terms, not from behind a .ca.

Pointless duplications? You're damn right about that, why in the hell are we sending any money to Ottawa? Damn... Can someone tell these people that they fucked Quebec so bad that we'll never sign that constitution and we'll never want to be part of that joke they call a country? So easy to be "haha, you lost the referendum". "haha, you lost every possible chance to reach a constitutionnal agreement". That thing about .qc? Yeah, dumb. Your comments about "pointless duplications" and the lost referendum? Yeah, dumb!

Man, you should have never posted that article. I used to think you were not too bad of a person, but this time, you really came off as an arrogant prick. Seriously, anglophones + politics do not mix.
