Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 Lyssa, I find the fact that Canada has two distinct nationalities like that quite fascinating. It almost reminds me of when the southern states seceded from the Union during the Civil War. What do you think the chances of Quebec seceding as well? Actually, I find your whole country interesting because we never hear about anything going on up there. Man, we can be so provincial most of the time. Thanks for your info.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 Yes Canada is part of the British Common Wealth with the Queen as our head political figure. Although of course her actual involvement publically is minimal and things really fall onto the Governor General and the Prime Minister. Quebec hates it lol .. at least some of the politicians. There are alot of English speaking residents in Quebec who do not ever want to see PQ seperate from the rest of Canada ..
