GOD HATH STRICKEN ME DOWN with a case of teh sniffles...
1) Update
😛Attention readers!
From nicktheh (Canada) [267 Votes];
Screw you nick >_<
If you hadn't heard, nick played an unfunny April fool's joke on us poor chaps yesterday.
2) OMG I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW
From 195 (United Kingdom) [195 Votes];
I still don't get it, even though it's in the UK now.
3) Presidential Address N.9 -=Q5 in Manitoba+The bros and Eden=-
From Chucky Norris (Canada) [122 Votes];
Chucky's latest (and one of his last!) addresses to the average citizen. On the menu today: a Q5 for Manitoba and the United States leaving EDEN. Amazingly, the money for the Q5 in Manitoba was donated by a single citizen: GaryDoer. Props to the man. As for the US and EDEN... I still say Canada will be forced to identify with one or the other. I have been wrong (often in fact) but it still worries me that we can keep up this charade of being neutral to both groups.
4) Tyler F Durden For CP
From Tyler F Durded (Canada) [96 Votes];
This is yesterday's April Fool's joke from yesterday, except for the part where it's not a joke. Durden is really running for CP.
5) Création des Van Doos, La Confrérie Militaire Franco-Canadienne
From Le 22e {The 22nd} (Canada) [56 Votes];
The Van Doos, or vingt-deux, after the RL Canadian regiment; the francophone's militia. Necessary? Maybe, maybe not. Popular among anglophones?

I'm starting a QUESTION OF THE DAY. I hate when I read an article that I enjoyed reading and have nothing to comment about. So, if you feel like you're lacking in commentable material, I will provide, free of charge.
Today's question:
With all the francophone-centred organizations sprouting up, are the francophones cutting themselves off completely from the rest of eCanada?
TIDBIT OF THE DAY:
I fixed the bit where the first author was copied onto the fourth article... Hopefully this results in less confusion all around.

that article was hilarious and you know it 🙂
I believe the hilarity was reinforced by the fact that a whole lot of people didn't unsubscribe 🙂 which was nice

To answer your question... I don't think we want to cut ourselves out of Canada, we would just like to play the game with our maternal language, which I think is normal. It is just a question of principles I think.(i hope this sentence was syntaxed correctly)
Anglos and francos goal is common. I think it will have a positive effect on the development of eCanada, for exemple by rising the retention of active franco-Ecanadian players.
Anyways, that's only my two cents...
Good article !
Agreed Release the bastard!
Cutting off, probably not. They are certainly striking out a bold and firm territory that can be called theirs, that unless you happen to speak French, you can't go.
Well, the French institutions are goo for French Canadians who don't speak English
