Since Civ III is just a game, I don't see why Canada shouldn't be a civ to play. Civs like Canada, USA, Australia are young compared to the egyptian but, we enter in a discussion civilization vs nation rather than wether or not Canada should be or not in Civ III. For the insider Canadians, it...

hmmm! That looks great at first sight. However, it is centered onto north america only. It would have been nice if you included the South america. Conquered mostly by the spanish and the portugueses. French and Dutch also have took some little territories. Therefore, the Incas are missing. :(

Gruntboy, "Politics in Quebec has been marred by violence in the past and it will happen again. Remember the tanks on the streets? " *Laugh out loud* You are comparing a cold with AIDS. October 70, les mesures de guerres, are still very controversés. Many people think that it was not...

Buenos dias sysyphus! :) "I still maintain that we ought to hold together on foreign related issues. " Yes... but together shall not mean following the exclusive English majority. It always turn around the same issue. Most of the time, English Canadian do not want to understand that...

You never thought you'd ever see the day, or hear it for that matter, when Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates would be caught off guard one day. That day just happened to be April Fool's Day, when Marc-Antoine Audette and and Sebastien Trudel, Canadian Radio Show personalities from CKMF-FM (the...

Sysyphus, "Which could ultimately hurt everyone, once differences start to show (and they will) if there's no one force acting to mediate it would prove too chaotic. " You have to explain me this. What do the Europeans have that you and I don't? If they can, we can! "As I've said...

Salut Sysyphus, "whereas you wish to take a country with a cretral government and hand more autonomy to the various regions. " So? You are saying this like if it is something that cannot be done or never was. If the Europeans notice that they centralised too much, they will decentralised...

I must add that I agree with superR. You are pretty cool to "talk" with. I have experienced alot of silly close mind like Ozz in the last 3 years. Even if Idon't agree with some of your points and your vision, the dialogue is possible with you. :) à bientôt!

Bonsoir sysyphus, ["have our cake and eat it too" kinds of deals. You want all the benefits of having an independant nation wihtout taking on the burdens. ] NO! This is in your mind only. My deal is a EU-like confederation. I don't think that none of the European countries are in the...

Into the NAFTA, if one of the members do a deal with another country, every other members of the NAFTA can directly have the same deal with that country. Therefore, it would be hard (read impossible) for Britain to have two such deal (EU and NAFTA) at once. I also doubt to see UK leaving the...

OZZ, Murderers? Then let's talk about the royalist that killed the patriots. Or the assassine that kills Louis Riel. Why the federal never did an investigation even if the separatist gov't asked for it? Because, you are a lOZZer. T'es pas sur le point de comprendre quelque chose à tout...

NY Hoya, "very true, but not a very big difference after 225 years " A survey made by Leger Marketing says that 50% of Canadians want to keep the Monarchy. Unbeleivable? I'm still astonished myself. Perheps you under-estimated the number of loyalists? :lol I agree with the rest of your...

[As for "peaceful", separtists tell that to Pierre Laporte.] Elvis is dead, you know? :crazyeye: :rolleyes: Felquiste and sovereignist are two different groups. There is no serious relations between the two of them. Neither there could be one between the British Soldier that killed the...

NY Hoya, ["Anglosphere" (a term i took from Oriel at Apolyton) ] Commonly used in French, ironic!? ;) :lol "the UK would have a larger say than within an ever expanding EU. " A larger say? I doubt very much. Even if on language basis they would be advantage, the power of USA can...

SuperR, "Benz: How would that solve the problem??? We switch our dependancy from Canada to the US? Wow. " Come one! We are already dependent of the USD. Changing our rates one or two days later than the US, this is not what I call sovereign Canadian Money. Small currencies have no chances...

Greadius, "Economic colonialism? I was listening to you guys until you pulled that one out " hmmm, do you include me with them in the same bag? I prefer using a different choice of words. I think the americans are imperialist, very usual when you are the stronger country of the world I...

Switch625, A united Canada can be powerful? Yes of course, but we should at least benefit from it, don't you think? A united USSR was also stronger than they are actual. :crazyeye: Again, it seems to be hard to understand but I repeat myself. I have no problem to keep united with...

sysyphus, "Zealots like Mike Harris closing down french hospitals is not representative of Anglo-Canadian attitudes, many English speakers spoke out against the hospital closure, as well as other issues regarding French language rights." There is what you are saying and there is what you...

Greadius, That is why René Lévesque wanted to give up the veto in exchange of an opt-out clause. I think you do not evaluate properly who afford the money and how. Picture this... the federal gov't create a program. The money of the program should normally proportionally distributed amoung...

SuperR, When you are saying both side, you are missing a huge point. The situation is way more complex than that. The federalist (at least the ones in the Bourrassa era) were nationalist. they believed in Québec and in Canada. They defended Québec's interest within a Canada. Do I have to...
