Quebec as a nation ???

I was flipping through some news sites this morning to discover that the house of commons passed a motion recognizing Quebec as a nation within Canada. I think it's a silly idea. Quebec is unique, but so is everywhere else in Canada. Newfoundland has its own unique culture and heritage...some would argue that it even has its own language that nobody else can understand. You can say the same thing about the praries and the west coast. Toronto by itself is unique as well.

There are some good points about this vote. //a href="http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1164409810997&call_pageid=970599119419" target="blank">Chantal Hebert/a// and //a href="http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1164456970860&call_pageid=968256290204&col=968350116795" target="blank">C.E.S.

I still think that Harper and the Cons are a bunch of weenies, but this looks like a very smart political move. It has no practical meaning though, it's pretty much just a play on the definition of the word "nation". Credit has to go to Michael Chong, Ken Dryden, and Gerrard Kennedy for speaking their minds on the topic.
