Actualities : "Happy Birthday America!!!"

Today is the celebration of the 241st year of American independence. Americans weren't freed from Brittan by the signing of the Declaration alone. It took the blood and sacrifice of many patriotic men, women and children years after and lives are continued to be laid down today. For this gift of freedom I am proud to live in 'The land of the free and the home of the brave.'

Parce que dans un message tu dis "patriotic brainwash".

Raphaël, having patriotic thoughts is normal and is honourable.

Yes, First Nations are the original peoples of Canada, and they are the ones of United States too.

There's a difference between Quebec City (500 000 inhabitants) and the province of Quebec (8 000 000 inhabitants). Quebec City is the capital of the province of Quebec.

I don't think Quebec should split from Canada, but there's decidedly many differences between English Canadian culture and the French Canadian identity from Quebec. This is why I recognize Quebec as a nation (because I love my Canada so much), but I don't want it to become an independent country, and 70% of Quebecers think like me.

I'd definite myself as a proud member of the Canadian people, but from French Canadian identity and whose nation is Quebec. Instead of seeking the “freedom” of the Quebec province, I think we should seek the freedom of Canada from the American superpower.

We're always constrained to align with them in the questions of international affairs. Canada made a disastrous mistake in joining American Army during the Korea war, and most recently those of Iraq and Afghanistan.

If I understand correctly the First Nations are the original peoples of the land of Canada? Should the city of Quebec become a nation or is there a people of Quebec? Can you explain a bit more, it sounds very interesting.

I agree with you Korla, Canada immediately needs a significative change to bring more social justice and more respect for the First Nations. I think we'd need to institute a constituent assembly to review our constitution in recognizing Quebec as a nation and First Nations as the founding people of Canada.

We have not succumbed to any brainwash. If looking toward the future is brainwash to you, then we are all brainwashed. We as a people know that our nation does not have a perfect record like any other peoples, but we are not gonna stew and complain about it. When the past come knocking I personally don't answer. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. You have no critiques, only foolish ideas. If the US has such a harsh and negative meaning to you why do you keep talking about her? Move on with your life, for America has done the same. How about you talk about Canada for a change?

I live outside of USA, so I think my critiques about USA are in full legitimacy considering that Americans themselves are submitted to a kind of patriotic brainwash.

And I have spent my whole life here. It takes more than six months to learn, analyze and critique a nation with over 200 years of history and over 300 million citizens. Compared to that your six months consecutive or not was and is very minimal. Reconsider your debating strategies and your source of opinionated education on the United States of America. It is faulty indeed. May I state America is a great country. Further more with due respects it is the BEST country because it is MY country.

Again, that's your own opinion. Of course you aren't from the States so what would you know. People shouldn't critique something they don't know a thing about.

Yes, because there's totally no reason to make party on USA Day. You should rather do it on 14th July (French Revolution Day) or on 1st July (Canadian Confederation Day), or even on 26th January (Indian Independence Day) or on the Cinco de Mayo.
