Canadian flag removed from Quebec National Assembly
 

Thoughts?

On a related topic touched upon in this article... Oh no, Quebec's asbestos mines are being forced to diversify into other markets. What will we do without this hazardous crap being mined? :lol

My thoughts: not a single fuck was given.

:facepalm:

the only contribution Quebec makes to the rest of Canada is soldiers

:rofl:

^ and hockey players

In all seriousness though, the federal parliament will most likely enact something to "fix" this issue if this carries on...

It's only "Hazardous crap" when it's improperly handled. There's still applications out there where it is one of the best materials for the job, high temperature insulations for one. There's tons of it out at Burrard Thermal for high temp pipe insulation, as long as it's not disturbed it's no big deal.

I thought that they would at least build back up their maple syrup reserve first :)

Oh, I know. It's also been used in a lot of other modern construction projects as well. I just don't trust a lot of people to handle it properly, is all. lol. It's one thing to have it properly installed and maintained by professionals who know how to handle it, but when you have some basement bargain technician or mechanic working on pipes and tearing the insulation off with his bare hands because he's not aware that it contains asbestos... well, then it becomes a problem. Meh. There's a few new fibreglass and other organic fibre products out on the market now that are just as good, so it shouldn't really be too big of a deal to knock one product out.

Its true, there is a fair bit of asbestos insulation still left in BGS, but Westcor is tearing alot of it out on a regular basis.


With WCB regulations that our out there right now, there should be no reason that a tech should be tearing into piping or other material with out knowing. They go after so many buisneses/building owners that do not have up logs of where and what type of asbestos, the fines can get up there...

Most of the time people (the school maintenance staff are bad for this) knowingly remove asbestos material because a little bit of cleanup after the fact is cheaper and easier then calling in professionals like my self.

There is some stuff out there now a days that is as bad, if not worse for you then asbestos. Ever chipped/grinded/ drilled into concrete? Silica dust will mess up your lungs bad. In fact WCB regs have changed so much in the last few years regarding that, if you caught doing anything that creates dust like that with out a half mask with P100 filters on it you can be nailed...

As for the Quebec mine that might get shut down, I honestly dont know how to feel about it. Ive pulled out so much here in BC... But it is a cheap/strong alternative to other materials that a 3rd/2nd world country may not be able to afford.

Ok, I'm done lol
(p.s. I dont work for Westcor....)

doesn't affect our lives in BC..who cares :herp::derp:

only thing i care about quebec is montreal canadians, the fans which give the eccentric vibe, and the hockey players from there. but no hockey season this year :okay: so :fuckthatshit:

Glad they closed that mine / didn't renew the contract.. Had to remove asbestos when I worked for Pacific rim, alot of the old timers I worked with in that trade have asbestosis / mesthosilinoma / lung cancer because they were exposed to asbestos back in the day, slow painful death, pretty bunk that they still want to export it to 3rd world countries, canadian joker you work with local 118? Lol

what's Quebec?

I heard they got their own airline too.

*In French Canadian accent* - Cocksuck Air

The strip clubs and the sleezy French bitches are pretty wicked as well I must say :fullofwin:

Ship everyone in Quebec to France.. Let them get a taste of how REAL Frenchies will treat them.

PS. Don't let them back into CANADA

I'm so tired of Quebec. At this point, if you want to leave, then leave. get it over with. I don't feel like having another 8 years where you stand there with your hands out saying "give us more money"

i was thinking it...just didn't wanna be the one to say it :fullofwin:


they'd come running back to canada. the way real french dislike quebec french reminds me of the distaste hongers have for mainlanders.

Double post.

This is nothing new. The PQ removed the flag before Charest's time also.

While we all talk about how Quebec should just leave, a separation would have pretty big impacts for the country. Confidence in the Canadian dollar would slip, at least for a while. There are still some big companies headquartered in Quebec - notably Air Canada and Via Rail. What about links between the Maritimes and the rest of Canada? What about Northern Quebec which is inhabited by Inuit and First Nations who are administered by the federal government? And ultimately, once one province goes, the precedent will be set - would Alberta be provoked to leave? BC?

Nah, not one of the Heat and Frost guys. I am with Local 138 (iupat) but they are a joke. Dont even feel like im in a union, they do nothing for the workers.. lol

pretty bold move for a party that didnt win majority..

I agree. We can't simply just kick them out of Canada. That would be too much headache. And I wouldn't want to give those pricks the satisfaction.

I'm not sure if you could do this, but I would just fine them for not having the flag present. For me, national pride is something I hold dear to my heart. And it pisses me off when these pricks do shit like this.

How can you swear allegiance to the queen and not feel the need to fly our flag? Fcuking idiots.
