Sentimiento separatista en Quebec

date cuenta que alberta y bc son economicamente muy fuertes, les seria ventajoso ser independientes

Personalmente me parece que Quebec es tremenda provincia pero solo será un pobre pais, el que se separe de Canadá le tocará formar parte del TCLAN y negociarlo en peores condiciones que el resto de Canadá, al final dejarán de ser provicinas canadienses para ser provincias de USA

En algún lado leí que quienes habian hecho ganar al "non" en los referendos anteriores precisamente eran los inmigrantes.

Aqui les dejo este alivio…

Una pregunta, cuanto tiempo se tardó tu tramite de solicitud de la ciudadania?

Saludos y Gracias

El universo de votantes de G&M es de 34.600 participantes donde el 82% NO esta de acuerdo con una separación de Quebec del resto de Canada.

El universo de participantes de La Presse es de 3514 participantes (apenas el 10% de participantes del G&M)

El Globe and Mail es un periodico de Toronto pero es leido por TODOS los Canadienses, sobretodo por los que viven en el ESTE de Canada (incluyendo los de Quebec…).

No se como sera el ambiente en Canada, pero por las portadas de los periodicos no parece haber escándalo por esta noticia. No sería un gancho mediático para acaparar atención? En todo caso yo votaria por un Quebec CANADIENSE mas NO independiente.

P.D. G&M= The Globe and Mail

ah, aqui te van unas notas al respecto

Canadian Scandal Gives Succor to Quebec Separatism

By David Ljunggren Wed Apr 27, 3:54 PM ET

OTTAWA (Reuters) – A federal cash-for-favors scandal is spilling over into Canada’s French-speaking province of Quebec, where support for sovereignty has reached its highest level in more than seven years, according to an opinion poll released on Wednesday.

A Leger Marketing poll for the Globe and Mail and Quebec’s Le Devoir newspapers said 54 percent of people in Quebec would back sovereignty in a new referendum on the issue, reflecting deep anger about allegations of corruption in Ottawa.

Separatist sentiment in Quebec is the biggest threat to Canada’s unity and Ottawa has tried hard to keep the lid on it since an October 1995 referendum on separation was defeated by a razor-thin margin.

Support for Quebec sovereignty climbs

MONTREAL – Support for sovereignty in Quebec is now above 50 per cent — its highest level since 1998, according to a new public opinion poll.

The Léger Marketing survey shows 54 per cent of decided respondents would support sovereignty in a referendum.

Over the past year, polls asking similar questions showed support for sovereignty between 44 and 49 per cent.

This latest survey, conducted for The Globe and Mail and Le Devoir, found that 37 per cent of respondents said the sponsorship scandal is behind their decision to support sovereignty.

One unexpected discovery in the survey is that 49 per cent of Quebecers would like a referendum to be held, while 46 per cent don’t want the vote on separation.

The numbers are surprising to some, because in previous polls, a clear majority were against the idea of holding a third referendum on sovereignty.

1,000 Quebecers were questioned last week, and the results are considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Tio, hasta este momento estaba tomando muchisimo tiempo hacer los tramites de ciudadania , tomaba hasta unos 2 años. Depende de que oficina procese la aplicacion. Si es una oficina donde tienen muchisimas aplicaciones tomara mas tiempo que una oficina pequeña.

sin embargo, hace uans semanas el gobierno federal anuncio que esta invirtiendo dinero para disminuir el tiempo de procesamiento de papeles de ciudadanis a 1 año.

CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION MINISTER JOE VOLPE ANNOUNCES NEW MEASURES TO IMPROVE THE CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS

OTTAWA, April 18, 2005 — The Honourable Joe Volpe, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, today announced an investment of $69 million over two years to process citizenship applications faster. He also announced that citizenship applicants will now be exempted from undergoing language ability and knowledge-of-Canada tests at 55 rather than 60 years of age.

“Language and knowledge requirements are common in countries with naturalization programs, like the United States and Australia. Both of these countries also automatically waive certain requirements depending on the age of the applicant and the length of time spent in the country. By lowering the age for automatic waivers to 55, Canada’s policy will now be comparable to that of the United States and Australia,” said Minister Volpe.

This policy change means that more citizenship applicants will be able to obtain automatic waivers to become citizens of Canada. Today’s changes in no way reduce the rigorous security screening requirements that all applicants for Canadian citizenship must go through before becoming citizens of Canada.

“The $69 million will allow us to restore, by 2007–2008, the processing times to an average of 12 months for a grant of citizenship and four months for a proof of citizenship,” said the Minister. “This will be accomplished by directing additional resources to reducing the current high inventory of files and in enhancing technology to modernize processing and increase productivity.”

Many clients currently download their applications from the Internet and check on the progress of their file on-line. CIC will be making further use of technology to add more on-line services and to modernize other internal processes within the Department.

Franco,

Repito la idea en otras palabras: Los que votan en un referendo de separacion son los ciudadanos canadienses RESIDENTES EN QUEBEC. Por lo tanto, si el 100% del resto de Canada esta en contra de al separación, basta con que un 50.1% de los Quebecos para que Quebec obtenga soberanía.

La encuesta del G&M solo muestra el sentimiento de Canada hacia el tema de la separacion, más no es un indicador de los resultados de un posible referendo. Para tal efecto los participantes de la encuesta deben ser quebecos.

Espero que ahora si entiendas la diferencia.

Un saludo
