Do you know of any publication that gives details of how this would work? (In English.)

How an independent Quebec would perform economically? I'll look it up for you if you want. I'm just basing my logic on the current drivers of economic growth there (hydro-electricity, knowledge economy, natural resources, etc) and the fact that the province currently redistributes only half (roughly) of the taxes it levies on its territory.

It'd be very interesting. However, I still doubt their chances of being able to become independent in the near future, regardless of their possible success in being independent.

Yeah, the movement is kind of on standby right now. No matter how anyone spins it, the Bloc's latest electoral performance is nothing to feel comfortable about. In my opinion, however, it is for the best.

From what I understand, Layton was open to the possibility of opening the question constitutionally, but even if he had become PM with a majority that would be problematic (see: Mulroney).

Layton doesn't have the political guts to do that, even if he had won all 308 seats. The moment he opens up the Constitution for amendment, he will alienate his RoC supporter base. He's very well aware that he will lose most of the 59 seats he won on May 2nd in four years. He won't waste time consolidating his current hold on Quebec.

One step closer to writing in Colin Powell next election.

And I don't know, just bored enough to see what's up with you all.

See, where you went wrong was appealing directly to the moderators.

There's an idea.

Speaking of Yar, saw the fourth Pirates last night. Was alright.

Same here. The saving grace was Penelope Cruz. I'd trade my left nut to fuck her.

The story wasn't that great, but Johnny Depp's awesomeness and Penelope Cruz's body really make up for it.

Finally finished school. Like I actually don't ever have to go back and sit down and take register or anything. And I seem to be the only one happy about this?

[Mon_The_Biffy]

Yeah but you still have exams?

[Schadenfreude-]

Exams isn't school.

[Armegeddon]

How is everyone doing?

[Cr0nu5]

Last exam, probably ever, on Friday. High probability of drinking before the exam. Should be hilarious.

Yeah, I finished Uni on Sunday. July 1st, real life starts. Until then, I drink!

[iQED]

Why didn't I stock up on weed before I started smoking my last bit?

[Schadenfreude-]

Woohoo. Congrats Mike. Not like you hadn't started your real life anyway though. What are you doing on July 1st?

[Mon_The_Biffy]

I've just found out my exact role for my summer internship is within the "Regulatory Capital Management" team. Undecided as to whether this sounds interesting or very dull.

For any of you who are clinging to the wonderfully naive belief that there is hope for the world, I present to you, the killing blow.

Hedge Fund down in Chicago. However, I am flying to Singapore beforehand to have a final round with OCBC Bank. So I might hop ship and do investment analysis there.

Brilliant. There's so many on the "abortion complex" lol.

It's brilliant satire in the initial article too:

During a press conference, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told reporters that the new state-of-the-art fetus-killing facility located in the nation's heartland offers quick, easy, in-and-out abortions to all women, and represents a bold reinvention of the group's long-standing mission and values.

"Although we've traditionally dedicated 97 percent of our resources to other important services such as contraception distribution, cancer screening, and STD testing, this new complex allows us to devote our full attention to what has always been our true passion: abortion," said Richards, standing under a banner emblazoned with Planned Parenthood's new slogan, "No Life Is Sacred." "And since Congress voted to retain our federal funding, it's going to be that much easier for us to maximize the number of tiny, beating hearts we stop every day."

"The Abortionplex's high-tech machinery is capable of terminating one pregnancy every three seconds," Richards added. "That's almost a million abortions every month. We're so thrilled!"

Apparently you've forgotten that article I found a while ago. When you learned the terrible truth about how many Americans are completely ignorant of basic historical facts and events, like the Holocaust and who bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hardly. That article destroyed what little hope I had for humanity. My link was for those poor naive souls who hadn't yet given up.
