House passes motion recognizing Québécois as nation

House passes motion recognizing Québécois as nation Last Updated: Monday, November 27, 2006 | 8:51 PM ET CBC News The House of Commons has overwhelmingly passed a motion recognizing Québécois as a nation within Canada.

So here’s the question…

The Quebecois constitute a “nation” within a nation…

As a nation does it now qualify to sit on the United Nations?

Palestine has a seat, granted a non-voting seat as a “special observer”… but yet can make speeches and directly speak to issues regarding Palestinians…

Do Quebec now have the capacity to demand a seat and speak to the UN regarding issues of Quebec interest?

I believe they do, whether they take the opportunity or not… whether the UN allows them the opportunity when under political pressure from Ottawa and possibly Washington to prevent it…

if they are offered or given a seat if they demand it, this will cause immeasurable problems for the rest of Canada and make a huge segment of the Canadian population, including myself, very angry…

Alan Kalter!!  You BASTARD!!
this guy has the position to publicly say, and have it broadcast to billions (not to mention the party in question), what I’ve been thinking for the past month!

damn it to heck!!!!

Britney, all I can say now is ditto!!!

How to put some anarchy into your life

This section has appeared in every Practical Anarchy published so far. The idea is to give you some ideas about how to bring more anarchy and freedom into your life, as well as how to spread it around your community.

• Think for yourself
• Turn off your TV
• Write a letter to a prisoner
• Grow your own food
• Have your neighbors over for dinner
• Consume less
• Share your car
• Go to a rally against the death penalty. Talk to your friends and neighbors about the death penalty and how you can stop it.
• Advocate that your community spend less money on police
• On summer nights, hang out on the front porch of your house and talk to your neighbors. If you don’t have a porch, stand out in the yard. Better yet, build a porch, and get rid of your lawnmower.
• Research your local corporations and find out what they do and how they affect your community
• Start your own pirate radio station. Get you friends and neighbors involved

• Organize the workers in your workplace into a union. Then fire your bosses.
• Compost your kitchen leftovers

• Fill those annoying “business reply” envelopes with anarchist literature and send them back; you’ll make some bored mail room employee happy.

• Join the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World)
• Spend some time hanging out with old people.

• Don’t let people tell you how to live
• Be a person, not a personality
• Learn to create the things you need instead of buying them at a store.
• Organise an affinity group and start an anarchist zine.
