@FortySacks I read online banter between an English dude and a Scot and you coud've pasted the whole thing in an argument on Quebec separation and no one would have noticed. Everyone is using the same old tired arguments. Please, for your own sake, look at the big picture.
@acormierd@Leo_Pier_ Le "Québec" est un "containment zone" pour les canadien-français; on lui a adjoint l'Ungava quand on croyait que celui-ci n'avait aucune valeur. La rivalité UK-US nous a permis d'obtenir des conditions meilleures que les Irlandais et les Boers.
@FFG16_CSP@Clint_Davey1 Heard that Egyptian tomb raiding became popular right after the Muslim takeover, but that so much weird stuff (and death) happened that it quickly fazed out. Don't know how true it is.
@Dividend_Dog@Tablesalt13 1. You're the second Ontarian I hear/read asking this question in 2 weeks. 2. Every time someone quotes Qc Govt figure saying Qc is catching up with On, I reply: On is just dropping faster.

I've read the Brits feared a Greek state controling Constentinople would be too powerful (don't have the reference)
