Since I have lived in Canada, we have had two hard-fought referenda on independence for la belle province de Quebec. A Canada without Quebec! And at the same time, there were rumblings from the Western Provinces, the Maritimes, and British Columbia (not a western province, in the sense that the UK is not European  ) about separation for their regions. Scary times. However, if the folks in Quebec had voted to leave Confederation, the Feds and the other nine provinces would have accepted the democratically expressed wishes of the Quebecois. Europe is becoming a weird place ... and the krauts  ... it's time they had another good ass kicking.  |
Yes, but because of this European fraternal love-in, we haven't been at war with each other for sixty odd years.
We have to travel a little further for fistycuffs nowadays.
Have ammo, and an E.U. task force, will travel.
Well there was that bit of a do in the Balkans.
But they're not proper Europeans. Being a bit swarthy, from having been touched with a non-E.U. standard tar brush.
Plus they aren't European Union members.
Just yet.
