Subject: Re: ...says Internet working against separatism (Canada)

what is the american military contingency for a "separate" quebec?
could it represent an invasion of quebec to the south shore of the st.
lawrence?
what interest is there in the united states in the maintainance of a french
language and "separate culuture" in america?

hmmm... i wonder...
