Is there any hope of Quebec separating from the rest of Canada ??


Whatever is going on in Montreal is the fruition of pampering overload that the govt. of Canada has been lavishing on that province. The more that province gets, the more they crave. Montreal's tramsport system has already lost $11 million because of the disruption due to the smoke bombs fiasco.  Moreover,  because of the ongoing student unrest, Americans (the city's biggest tourist quota) have been warned by their govt. to take precaution if travelling to Quebec.

Nice going Quebec .... keep it up.

After the pictures of suspects in the Montreal subway smoke bombs incident the four idiots decided to turn themselves in to the police authorities. Shame on the parents for not instilling the right values into these idiots.

...Geneviève Vaillancourt, Roxanne Belisle, François Vivier-Gagnon and Vanessa L'Écuyer face charges of conspiracy, mischief and committing a hoax regarding a terrorist activity, an offence punishable by up five years in prison....

....According to the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, the 90-minute delay caused Thursday by smoke bombs in several stations cost the city $11 million. The Montreal Economic Institute came up with its own figure of $9.3 million.

The ongoing student unrest has even prompted a security message from the U.S. government. U.S. tourists were warned of possible “unforeseen violence,” “vandalism” and “arrests,” in a message issued April 27 by the U.S. embassy in Ottawa to visitors heading to Montreal.

The message warned Americans travelling to Montreal that although businesses remain open, traffic and public transportation may be disrupted. They were also told they could run into demonstrations and, while most of them have been peaceful, some might turn “potentially violent.”

News of the American message, which had largely gone unnoticed, spread in the local media Friday and fuelled speculation about what impact the unrest might have on the local economy.

Such fears have been intensifying now that the summer festival season is approaching. Montreal’s famous comedy and jazz festivals, and Formula One parties, tend to be concentrated near the streets and public squares that have been awash in frequent protests.

One student association, comprising arts majors at UQAM university, decried this week that the protest movement had actually been too peaceful and it promised to disrupt Grand Prix parties.....
