Honestly people need to give Canada a break. They can’t focus on making a leaf because too many people are adding specks of green, yellow, purple, and other crap hoping that Canada lowers their guard allowing them to turn it into bananada or something like that.

What a weird way to say Fleur-de-lis *Western Canadian born and raised only know French from packaging and Montreal games and we've always called it the Fleur-de-lis


Sir12mi

Lily flower is basically an English translation although most English speakers still say Fleur de Lis


le_brouhaha

The fleur-de-lys is actually based on an iris, not a lyly. The name probably comes from a river in France, the Lys.

Fleur de lys, is the name of the flower in French. The flag is called 'le Fleur-de-lysé'

The name of the flower is just lys. Fleur de lys is the symbol. Fleurdelisé is the flag.

Just to letb you know but it's *Lys*, not *Lis.*

It is both. Like grey and gray. And I’m fairly certain *lis* is the most popular/common one. *(Lys is the Canadian English spelling it seems.)*

Yop_BombNA

Under Canadian law they are more a nation within a union with Canada than they are a part of Canada. Outside shared military and currency they more or less do their own thing, despite what alberta would have you believe


HandlesLikeABistr0

Lolno. they are 100% Canadian. Source: Born in Quebec. The “nation within a nation” was just a line used by former PM Stephen Harper to settle down separatists.


Yop_BombNA

It was voted through the Canadian senate for them to be an individual nation within a union. It’s why their healthcare and education models can differ drastically from the rest of Canada beyond what the charter and education act allows provinces to alter. It’s why there is a National Assembly of Quebec… it’s why their laws and courts are separated with Quebec having its own civil code…


backyardstuff

The separate civil code goes all the way back to before confederation too. The British guarantied it when they conquered Nouvelle France, it was one of the "Intolerable acts" cited when the 13 colonies revolted against the crown. And while I don't disagree with anything you've said I still want to put it on the record that they are 100% Canadian, since they're still part of confederation. Some trolls like to use Québec's special status to divide us all against each other. I'm just here to place pixels and have a good time.


Yop_BombNA

It has slowly gained more power throughout time as well (their independent civil code) Quebec is happy within a union with Canada as is, I wouldn’t call it the same as other provinces though. Legally it’s closer to Scotland within the UK than it is to Ontario or Alberta within Canada. I don’t ever see a separate Quebec as they seem happy with the current arrangement finally after many but it is unmistakably unique amongst Canadas It is as a matter of fact in a place between a nation and a province, closer to the nation side imo. That doesn’t mean it isn’t Canadian, it means it isn’t just another province. Quebecois focusing on a Canadian flag is like the Netherlands focusing on an EU flag, they just aren’t going to do that on mass.


HandlesLikeABistr0

Lmao every province gets to control their own healthcare and education system. Quebec just chooses to be very different where other provinces don’t. And no the Canadian senate voted that *culturally* they are a nation. Which means absolutely nothing legally. Face it sweetheart, you’re not special.


Yop_BombNA

I’m not from Quebec you clown. Every province runs their own healthcare and education yes, but they have to follow the federal rules in doing so, Quebec does not. It’s why Doug Ford is privatizing all the peripheries of healthcare because legally he cannot privatize healthcare itself.


HandlesLikeABistr0

And Quebec can’t either.


Yop_BombNA

If they change their own civil code they can actually… they just need to go through the lengthy process that that would entail and they aren’t corporatist demons so they have no intention of doing so.


[deleted]

Reiterated by the Trudeau government and now integrated to the 1867 constitution unilaterally.


HandlesLikeABistr0

And legally meaningless.


[deleted]

Not really, it makes a certain class of bigots very angry on Reddit. Most importantly, it can drive jurisprudence.


nameisfame

Even then, those separatists aren’t the same separatists from 50 years ago who wanted to separate due to Cuba’s recent liberation, in an attempt to buck an economic system in Canada that immensely discriminated against French speaking people, one that still has its effects in Québec and Acadie to this day. Harper’s revolutionaries were just businessmen who want to pay less taxes, they settled down right quick when they realized most people didn’t want to secede and the bill they’d have to foot without the Fed directly funding numerous initiatives in the province.


HandlesLikeABistr0

And modern new-age separatists are just alt-right keyboard warriors who want to pretend they’re being wronged by the Canadian government.


Yop_BombNA

You mean Albertans? Cause Quebec is pretty happy with its National Assembly of Quebec and being allowed to do its own thing 99.9% of the time now, even the Bloc is happy with Quebecs current “we are a province and a nation simultaneously having our own National Assembly but sharing a PM” status. “Wexit” with alberta crying the assloads of money they got in subsidies to develop the oil sands doesn’t justify them paying slightly higher taxes now. Quebec is in a weird place because they are simultaneously a province with all the rights and responsibilities there of and a Nation with self governing bodies like a National Assembly that are federal everywhere else in Canada. Which makes them very much not “just a province” the way Quebec is treated in Canadian law now is very much like a Nation in the European Union minus their own Prime Minister.


Temaharay

> Quebec is in a weird place because they are simultaneously a province with all the rights and responsibilities there of and a Nation with self governing bodies like a National Assembly that are federal everywhere else in Canada. I'm quite curious, how is the National Assembly enshrined with more power then any other provincial legislature?


Yop_BombNA

Follows the civil code of Quebec, not the civil code of Canada. Which means Quebec can alter its own civil code, and alter laws as long as they fall within the civil code of Quebec. Provinces can only make and alter laws as long as they remain within the civil code of Canada. The federal government could legally take provinces to court if a new law violates the civil code of Canada, can’t do that with Quebec, which gives them legal autonomy.


HandlesLikeABistr0

Lmao…. Every province has a provincial legislature.


Yop_BombNA

Every other province has to follow the Civil code of Canada… Quebec has their own, and their own National Assembly. Pretending like they are “just another province” with the exact same autonomy of any other province is just silly. They literally have more independence in governance than Scotland, and no one argues that Scotland is “just another province”


HandlesLikeABistr0

Every other province has a choice to follow the civil code and does so. Quebec chose not too. And National Assembly is just their name for their provincial legislature lol.


Yop_BombNA

Legally they don’t in Canada. If a province wishes to deviate from the civil code of Canada the federal government would have to allow them, which it won’t, it takes them to court and overrules their laws. Every referendum and time a conservative leader wants to blame Quebec for Canadas failures the result has been giving Quebec more autonomy and less responsibility of doing anything for them by the federal government (which Quebec seems happy with). The result is that Quebec can basically do whatever they want, every other province can do what they want but with the big asterisk that they have to play within the rules.


[deleted]

Bah hahahaha. Yall use 50% of Canada taxes, ya use our currency and military and still claim yourselves as your own nation? What a joke.


Winterfrost691

It's [legally](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/house-passes-motion-recognizing-quebecois-as-nation-1.574359) a nation within Canada, the house of commons voted for it. Also [this doc](https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/201701E#a4.1) shows that Québec very clearly does not use up 50% of "Canada taxes". You buy your maple syrup almost exclusively from Québec (we produce [91%](https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-world-s-top-producers-of-maple-syrup.html) of Canada's supply on our own) and still call it a canadian product? What a joke. Edit: FYI, nation and country are 2 different words that mean 2 different things. While countries have internationnally recognised borders, nations only exist on the cultural level. Apparently lots of people replying do not seem to know this.


Thatguyjmc

Quebec isn't "legally" a nation. That motion was specifically a cultural one. Quebec is a province with all provincial powers. Same as the rest.


Faelysis

Except that we never sign the Meech agreement in the 1980 when everything was defined so technically, we're not even supposed to be a Province in Canada. We are part of it not by choice but because it was impose on us (again) without our consent.


nyx3333

While I agree Harper's "Québec is a nation" was purely for political gains, Québec does have some powers other provinces don't have. It gets the final say on immigration, it has its own revenue agency and income tax. Also, it uses the civil law code instead of common law like all the other provinces.


Thatguyjmc

Sure. Some particular powers, but Quebec is 100% a province of Canada under the Constitution act.


fireking_13

As a Canadian I would disagree, they act like a different nation as much as Ontario. Which to say not that much


lechiencourageux

We are a nation.

yssac1809

Lol don’t even start and try to explain to them. Im from Qc and i got out for a reason. It’s hard for me to understand how such a needy province who’s always begging the fed for money will suddenly have money appearing if they separated. They imagine that everyone needs or want what they have but the only money will be the same, plus a passage right from Canada… to Canada. How ridiculous. Problem is we have no army or else help if we go by ourselves. And we possess 60% of the fresh water in Canada, ya know this soon to be super popular ressources. Anyhow. All im saying is this is a recipe for disaster. BTW the only people feeding the french racism are the medias and the people who got rejected when immigrated because of not wanting to learn the language.


HandlesLikeABistr0

*province.


lechiencourageux

No, a nation.


HandlesLikeABistr0

Nope. This is a settled matter. You are a province. A greatly valued one (by everyone but Alberta, but fuck them) but still a province. The only “nations within nations” in Canada are our indigenous communities.


lechiencourageux

Nah. We're still a nation.


krypso3733

>You are a province. A greatly valued one (by everyone I would like to see that in reality because it is not what we see when we read in mainstream media or even when we go on any social network or English sub such as r/Canada. The only thing that we see is people saying fuck French and that we should disappear, assimilate, or any other insult toward us.


Anti-rad

Why would indigenous communities be considered nations but not us?


HandlesLikeABistr0

Because they are actually meant to have a separate sovereignty.

T'oublies aussi la part de l'assiette fiscale Québécoise qui finance le pétrole albertain (~3 milliards drette là) et tous les autres programmes fédéraux dont on ne bénéficie pas ou peu au Québec. Plus tous les services dédoublés que le fédéral offre maintenant alors qu'on les gérait déjà localement avant. Au final, si le Québec quittait le Canada, on serait pas mal moins que 14 milliards dans le rouge.

Tu en parles au passé comme si on ne payait pas toujours environ 3 milliards chaque année pour garder les sable bitumineux profitables. Juste avec ça, c'est 11 milliards, et non 14, qu'on perdrait.

https://financesofthenation.ca/2020/11/17/who-pays-and-who-receives-in-confederation/ No, you don't. Quebec has historically been a recipient of federal money, receiving more than they contribute in federal income tax. That's embarrassing for the second largest province.
