Parti Quebecois: Patriotism

Sovereignty Dept: So maybe it would be a good thing if another sovereignty referendum a possibility we have to at least consider, with the Parti Quebecois potentially reclaiming power in less than two weeks didn t prompt so unsubtle a response from those who don t really understand Quebec s dynamics, according to Globe and Mail. In some ways, our patriotism is more muscular than ever. Stick a maple leaf on an athlete, and watch TV ratings go through the roof. Honour troops at a public event, and listen to the crowd roar. Ask us about the Far North, even if we re not sure where it is exactly, and we ll tell you we own it and opening bell Still, there is something unsettling and slightly depressing about the prospect of the country splitting in two being greeted with a collective shrug by Canadians. And to consider where our heads are at now, and how different that is from where they were a generation ago, is to wonder if that would indeed be the reaction. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
