    separatist BS
So millions of people who feel strongly about things you don't agree with is bullshit? You might have been too harsh, but you are not helping your case.

The city's aiming high. Some people there have a dream. And all you can do is bash them and denigrate them and tell us how their (in some cases actually very reasonable) political opinions will bring their demise. Should they just not even try? I don't understand your logic.

BTW, it was obviously a PR piece. At least we agree on that :)

Just ask yourself what were the consequences of the referendum, even if the separatists lost.

I do think some of their ideas (associated with separatists) make sense, but pushing for separatism has never helped the province.

And yes, the city of Montreal knows better than the rest of QC fortunately
