| Bloc: Give Quebec $5 billion or we vote against the federal budget
QUEBEC - The Bloc Quebecois put up a big price tag — $5 billion — as the cost of its support for the upcoming federal budget. Its request prompted an immediate slapdown from the government Wednesday and fuelled the chances of an imminent election.
It said Quebec has gotten a raw deal compared to other provinces in a multitude of areas, from regional development and tax harmonization to 1990s disaster relief. It wants some of that addressed in the upcoming budget.
The reaction from the federal government was scathing: a senior Conservative cabinet minister likened the opposition party to "hypocrites" playing with "Monopoly money."
Wednesday's events helped confirm the prevailing wisdom in Ottawa that, if an imminent election is to be avoided, it will depend on the NDP supporting the Tories' budget.
That's because the Liberals have already dismissed major elements of the government's long-term spending and fiscal platforms — and the odds of the Bloc's demands being met appear nil.

Fuckem, they don't deserve shit!! They are fricken lucky we haven't booted there frog ass's out of Canada years ago. What makes them better then us not a fucken thing. What do they have to contribute to Canada other then Poutine and hairy French women. All the other provinces get more because they have the renewable resources that make our country money which is passed back to the provinces to help with the info structure so they can make more money for our government to blow on bonuses and pointless shit.
I'm getting tired of them bitching 24/7 because "THEY" are to good for the rest of the country. With out them we would be fine but with out us they would be fucked!!! They don't respect us when we go there why should we respect them right????

Already said, but FUCK THAT, AND FUCK THEM. Will the Feds see any of that money invested back to them? Probably not. Non-Frenchie Canada can take poutine and GSP, they can keep the rest.

This all seems more like politic play than an actual attempt to receive all that money. They get to cop out for saying no to the Conservative budget. Now the blame for accepting the budget and allowing the Conservative minority government to stay in power falls on the NDP. Its win win for the Bloc when it comes to Quebec.

"As a matter of fact, the Bloc actually calculates its list of demands for Quebec at $16 billion — but it will settle for only one-third that amount in the upcoming budget."

400 plus years of history and they haven't grown up. Selfish bastards who use excuses to get what they want. Should have deported them long ago.

PLEASE dont confuse the Bloc political party for Quebec as a whole. What have we learned about a political party as a representation of a province? If you think the majority of Quebec citizens bitch daily about wanting more money from anglo Canada and dont offer anything to the Country.. you must also believe the people of British Columbia love paying out the ass on tax, drive drunk when they go on Vacation, and all do shady business dealings. Just because the political party or its leaders say or do something, doesnt mean the people do.
