According to Clinton Hammond:

TOP 10 REASONS TO LIVE IN QUEBEC 1. Everybody assumes you're an asshole 2. Racism is socially acceptable 3. The only province to ever kidnap federal politicians 4. You can take bets with your friends on which English neighbor will move out next 5. Other provinces basically bribe you to stay in Canada 6. The FLQ 7. Your hockey team is made up entirely of dirty French guys 8. The province with the oldest, nastiest hookers 9. NON-smokers are the outcasts 10. You can blame all your problems on the "Anglo bastards"

****

In case anyone thinks that there's truth in Clinton's racist attempt to be funny at the expense of French Quebecers, I will point out that the "province" never kidnapped "federal politicians."

Only one PROVINCIAL politician and one British diplomat were ever kidnapped. Not by the province, but by the FLQ, in October 1970, more than thity years ago.

Clinton further cites the FLQ as one of his reasons. The FLQ was smashed in 1970.

Many of Clinton's other lists do reflect an "attempt" to be funny. However, when it comes to Quebec and French Canadians, he proves himself a racist.

Why is Mudcat such a magnet for racists?
