oh and to say that federal money (which they obviously do not understand what a LOAN guarantee is) is not fair to go to a project in another province that is to a disadvantage to them and they are "open" to talks .. like F off!! it's a FEDERAL government even if they did subsidize .. umm they should look at their own projects! and all them yummy equalization payments they receive which i'm sure goes towards things that make them competitive with other provinces .. this federation disgusts me to be honest

You guys are breakin' my heart here...
Let's not lump all Quebecers together into what we consider to be self-serving separatists, please. The context of this is that the PQ is a
minority government (and separatists are an even
smaller minority).
I realise this news must be frustrating for you, but even the PQ government is admitting they haven't much of an argument for legal action. They are making noise mostly so that Quebec extremists who voted for them are seeing them make an attempt in
their interests.
And the entire federation of Canada shouldn't be based on a
minority of attitudes that exist in Quebec. Canada is much bigger, much more complex, and much more diverse than the issue of equalisation transfers and apparent Quebec ungratefulness.
I, for one, am thankful for the body of laws under which my rights are protected -- which our united federation created. I am thankful for our socialised healthcare and school systems. And I'm extremely thankful that a province can be a 'have-not', such as Newfoundland and Labrador, and with help from the Federation can eventually work toward being a 'have' and achieve that success, such as Newfoundland and Labrador.
