Fire Trudeau… the bloc is a federal party????… laughable
Bloc is Quebec National Party but have seats in Canadian Federal government.Let them take all their seats in Quebec and wthdraw all other political parties representatives there.
Two French language debates in Canada and one in English. Stifle yourself.
And both French debates are axing French Speaking Quebec !
Because you guys clearly listen to the 2 french debates… sarcasm…
@Eva Langley Excluding the clumpsy bad studling translator.
Lmao
Systemically racist
Sorry buddy but most Canadian’s speak English! You guys had 2 debates and we only had one. Get over yourself.
@Freehold Equine shhh, let them get to having another separation referendum before we break that news, again.
@jon k lol
If I so much as wanted to learn French, it wouldn’t be the Quebec variety.
@Résistance I have a few questions for you:
1) Why should Quebec become independent?
2) What does an “independent” Quebec mean?
3) How will an independent Quebec make more French voices in Canada if it is no longer part of Canada? Won’t that make LESS French voices in Canada?
4) What issues are you referring to that Canadian politicians can no longer ignore?
5) How will Quebec becoming independent be able to help Canadian francophones outside of Quebec?
Well Megan, maybe you should have stayed in school
This guy wanted to change the topics at the debate. Not sure if he understands how a debate works.
The English debate was a total joke.
@Carol Weideman English debate is a total joke and French dabets are total waste of time on Quebec. They know hoe to play he game. Just let them have everything themselves in Quebec.
Can’t fix stupid
Trump did. What’s stopping him? He’s got more brain cells.
All he wanted to do is yap about Quebec.
You had two French debates and the French represent how much of the Canadian population? Go cry some more.
They have 2 French debate to get Quebec out because they need further French lessons to strengthen their arguements !
The rest of Canada is getting sick and tired of Blanchet and his endless whining and demands.
@KJ Ron yeah let’s see how long those “separatists” can last without Alberta’s oil money.
@Ahmed Elsaidi Iceland is a country with almost 400k population, they have their own money. If they could survive, Québec could.
@smashmusique And that is what scares alot of those canuks.
@Michel Chartrand what’s scary about that? I don’t understand
thats why he is so popular right.. will make either offic opposition or vry close
Two French debates to discuss your issues. That’s ample opportunity.
@T Dioxin Still not speaking french.
@Michael Stoller That’s because it’s the most important province
@Mannerite in what respect?
@Michael Stoller loosing it may cost the election
@Mannerite same can be said for Ontario
He has no place at the debates anyway.
And why 2 French debates ? Just let Bloc take every single seat in Quebec.
@Lar M French> English
Why is he even allowed to participate? He should run for king of Quebec if he cares so much for the province.
He is not even expecting to participate ! Only Canada keep pushing him to do so.But in doing so they blasted him with systematic racism in his own province !
@Lar M How do you “blast” someone with “systemic racism” in a debate?
Oh no, Pierre tRudeau started royalty in quebec. Prince justin is there royalty.
We already have Lord Legault ruling by edict here. No more kings are needed.
He would, but the Quebecers would eventually guillotine him.
Maybe Alberta should have a federal Party. Also Ontario and Manitoba and so on. Utterly Ridiculous
Maverick party ring a bell?
Only problem is that it’s 30 yrs. to late.
Maybe alberta should implode
Alberta already has a federal party….it’s called the Conservatives.
@Daniel C lol the Conservatives don’t care one iota about the West. They pander to Ontario and Quebec just the same as any federal party that wants to keep getting votes. The only federal parties that have expressed even the least bit of concern about western alienation are the PPC and the Maverick Party, and the Maverick Party is the only one that plans to fix it.
@Halbinoni Conservatives don’t care about Alberta cause they know that no matter what they do, AB will always vote for them.
They target areas that would be gainful to them…not the ones they already have.
He is far too sensitive! No one told him to shut up. Poor baby! 2 French debates, he had the floor, then the rest of Canada has the audacity to want an English debate without all the attention once again on Quebec……far too precious! The rest of Canada has been pandering to Quebec whims long enough. Stay or go, but stop WHINING! Grow up!!
This is part of the showcase for the all Bloc Quebec.
You are far too nieve about the Quebec politicians. They know when , where , and how to play ‘cry baby’.
Have you ever seen a Quebecer who wasn’t whining about how they aren’t treated well enough?
I never seen a happy separatist , it must be a hard knock life!
@T Dioxin He and the Bloc have been campaigning to separate Quebec from Canada to become an Independent country for more than 50 years. The Bloc Quebecois is literally a Separatist Party lmao
living with you it is
What do you mean happy? A politician smiling?
You’re right about that. Levesque, Parizoo, Bootchard and Blankshit never smile even after death. Sorry, after det.
@TheKaotyk LOL, the Block has been around only since the early 90s
Kind of like how they didn’t invite a party with more pull percentage than both the Bloc quebecois and green party. They just don’t agree with what their political stances are. Very eye opening.
I get what your saying but the idea is wrong, they weren’t on the stage due to the other parties disagreeing with their political stance but because they don’t qualify as they don’t hold a single seat in parliament as bernier failed last election to get a single seat, they weren’t polling at the minimum 4% of the vote 5 days after the election was called coming in at roughly 3.2%, on the national level and they failed to break 4% of the national votes cast during the previous election. If they do manage to break that this time around they will be allowed to participate in the next election debates regardless of what any other party’s opinion of their political stances are.
How has more pull?
Let there be a referendum on separatism, this time however, the rest of Canada gets to vote too.
The Provinces did vote for the separation vote of 1993 though
@Dominic Brissette hypocrits aren’t they.
@Michel Chartrand Don’t take loud mouths on the internet as representative of anything.
Ne prenez pas les bouches fortes sur Internet comme représentatives de quoi que ce soit.
@Hug With an H have you not known that most English speaking citizens in Quebec are loyal citizens of Canada and see Canada as their own country. Most French speaking citizens of Quebec see Quebec as their own country and have no ties to Canada as their country. That’s why there’s so many language laws against the English community because they are not part of Quebec society , you must be pure lain to be quebecoise.
Could you imagine, they leave at their own peril and yet they’d try to dictate terms to Canada.
Oui wan all da curd da fry and da gra-vee. Dar non wai u geyz get da res-pee fer da poutine.
Wait what is he campaigning for he said he does not want to be Prime Minister! LMFAO 😂 such a gong show !
The bloc never want to be prime minister. They should be a federal party.
They just want to represent quebec on the Federal stage.
@Maxime Dupuis Gottcha Maxime beauty name ! My grandmother was from gasbe region , her name was margaritte langios , so that makes me half french , half Irish !
Lucky he even got an invite. The fact that the rest of Canada has their own problems and have better things to do than pander to Quebec. Like a spoiled child you can never give them enough, they will always want more, no matter the cost.
Just like our Prime minister Trudeau
Time to vote them all out
Blanchet is a full-time victim. Every time I hear this guy all he does is complain. Very unlikable. NEXT!
VICTIMS get to go to the front of the Line for…..CASH hand outs!!!….especially here in Canuckistan.
@Music Playlist Exactly….this Country is Full of whining “Victims, Snowflakes, and spineless Jellyfish”!!!….the debt is expected to hit 1.8 TRILLION….and nobody seems to give a Rat’s arse about that….we are a “Failed state”….just brutal, is the level of STUPIDITY!!!.
.
@Music Playlist Relax or you’ll end up on a list, very soon! Just go vote
Quebec is a separate country. What else do you expect from Blanchet ?
Do you know a politician who doesn’t ”complain” ?
The Bloc is insignificant in most of Canada. Blanchett needs to stop crying.
@Boogey Woogey How about francophones across Canada?
@Labwrath What about them? French is an official language all across Canada.
@Boogey Woogey Why can’t we be friends, Why can’t we be friends, Why can’t we be friends, Why can’t we be friends.
@Labwrath Quoting old song lyrics is weak minded
@Boogey Woogey Alright, I’m done. Goodnight friend.
They didn’t say “Shut up”. They said: We are not in this section, this is about cost of living sir.
To me, it sounds quite different.
He just experienced it differently, 😆
@gurka321 I wonder what he expected as an answer. It was off topic, and kind of awkward. Were they supposed to skip cost of living?
My point is I feel like pretty much all answers were wrong answers, and would be seen by him as a “Shut up”.
Why would I pay any attention to a party that has one provinces interest in mind and to those that say well we need them for French representation, they aren’t even leading in their own province…
Voters are older now and want their Canada pension.
i kind of agree, still the bloc Québécois did stuffs for citizens of other provinces. Among some topics agriculture problems where some ontarians (not sur, i think they were milk producers and english speaking) their representatives did not find the matter important enough, turned to the bloc, to bring the matter to the chamber. However, these are rare occurences.
he actually admitted he did not wanna be PM
@Toxinomist I just personally find it ironic that he says he has the Quebec people’s interests at heart yet he’s not leading the polls in Quebec kinda funny
@mlapr896 and that why i said ”i kind of agree with you”
