If that means more NHL teams in Canada and more Tim Hortons in Vancouver, than hell yes!

give these threads a rest will you. Canadian cities are just fine the way they are, they are always ranked among the most liveable in the world.

If you like Tim Hortons move to Moncton...we have the most Tims per capita of any city in Canada (approx 34 in a CMA of less than 130,000)

I was a tad confused when you said "it will be here after"

what do you mean by that???

i don't think quebec separation will be the thing that brings canada to its end, but a lot of cities have gone through a country or two in their history.

i don't think this nation will prove particularly eternal.

When wasn't Montreal in Canada?

well, it used to be in 'new france' etc.

Rico Rommheim · #16 Posted: **Aug 24, 2007, 10:59 PM**

New France WAS Canada and its citizens were called canadians.

Quebecers have been canadian before the canadian nation even existed.

LordMandeep · #17 Posted: **Aug 24, 2007, 11:02 PM**

no New France was the area under the country of France...

Canada was the idea of a sovereign nation with British/French roots..

Rico Rommheim · #18 Posted: **Aug 24, 2007, 11:07 PM**

Wrong. If you study new france you will notice that its inhabitants were refered to as les `canadiens` before the brits came in and blew everything up and annexed it in 1759.

kool maudit · #19 Posted: **Aug 25, 2007, 12:24 AM**

i was referring to the legal entity that came into existence in 1867; our current nation.

i'm aware that it used an existing name.

Well Thunder Bay existed before Canada, too. (It was a French settlement since the 1600s, and was given the name in the early 1700s.)
