that explains alot, some people are anti french
No just encountered some really stuck up french canadians no offense of course just from what I have experience, I don't like to stereotype except my canadian friends always tell me the same about french canadians so I just go with the flow just to make a joke here and there.
I'd love to live in Canada.
I like Canada... And Montreal is awesome. Though I lived here all my life, I never get used to the cold in winter. >_
| bouzane said: As a Newfoundlander I dislike how the government of Canada allowed us to suffer through an economic depression my entire life and as soon as we generate some oil revenue they start crying how we are a "have province" and that we should make greater normalization payments to them. The unemployment rate here is about 13% and they were never here to help us yet they are here with their hands out when we finally start generating oil revenue. We're just a cash cow producing tax dollars and readily available workers. |
I wanted to avoid this but I just couldn't let this go unanswered.
as long as I can remember the west (have provinces) have been making equalization payments to prop up the atlantic (have not) provinces so it only makes sense that as soon as you become a have province you start contributing.
talking facts per person newfoundland is now fourth in gdp. It took british columbias spot.

| Slimebeast said: Canada is a pale and weak nation compared to the USA. It has 10% of the population & resources of the US but certainly not 10% of the cool stuff that the US produces (movies, TV-shows, famous people, actors, music groups, cars, tech, brands, military & science stuff, news, corporations etc). |
