First province on that list, Newfoundland, 91.4% Canadian or English... So yep, Quebec isn't the most homogenous, nice try though!

Also, not a very good tool considering that people can reply more than one thing.

Quebec's first referendum on Independence was like that, the government was asking for approval to negotiate the terms in order to hold a second referendum where people would know in advance how it would be handled, aka the reverse of how Brexit was handled (even though their referendum didn't make it an obligation to do it).

Did you look at the website? Choose all visible minorities, Quebec is at 13%, which is more than all the places I mentioned. What is homogeneity if not the % of people that are ethnically part of the majority, i.e. not part of the group that's considered diversity?

The white Anglo minority also counts as diversity as they're culturally different from the white Franco majority, just like in other provinces the white Franco minority counts as diversity because they are culturally different from the white Anglo majority.

The general turnout wasn't good though, Trump didn't get as many votes as he did in the past either.

"Quebec is the most homogenous province"

Eh...

https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/hlt-fst/imm/Table.cfm?Lang=E&T=41&Geo=00&SP=1&vismin=2&age=1&sex=1

More visible minorities than all the Atlantic provinces, all territories and Saskatchewan and that doesn't even take into consideration the white Anglo minority.

You could also have groups of provinces with their own party so they would have some weight to them.

Also defending the interests of a province first and foremost doesn't necessarily go against the interests of other provinces as the same gains apply to them as well.

You keep repeating the same shit, "I don't get anything from it", my point from the beginning has been that yes, you do in fact gain something from it.

I think people are pissed that she lost the popular vote because it shows the extent of her loss and how much people didn't care in general, but the truth is she only needed the popular vote in some specific states in order to win and that's much less than the 12m votes people keep talking about.

What they're saying is that 12 million more votes in States where Democrats already won wouldn't have changed a thing, it's the Democrats that didn't show up in swing States that are to blame.

Prove me wrong if I'm so stupid.

Child poverty leads to people who don't get as much education which leads to people voting against their own best interest like they did a few days ago.

Are you going to pretend you won't feel any consequences of that?

Less education leads to people being less healthy which leads to higher healthcare costs that comes out of your pockets.

Are you going to pretend you don't feel any consequences of that?

That's the thing though, you are getting something from it! But because others are getting money and you're getting something that isn't money you can't see it and therefore dislike the project!

Who's got a bad take here? The person disliking social safety nets or the person disliking them when it isn't a direct advantage to them?

You're part of a community, when people suffer you feel the consequences, when people do better you do better. Get your head out of your ass.

That's my opinion as well, or even grouped lobbies (BC, prairies, Ontario, Quebec, Maritimes + NFLD, territories)

Have you seen Legault's numbers? 😂 His party is getting wiped out of Quebec come next election and the PQ will be reborn unless the Liberals elect the Messiah as their leader!
