Originally posted by Tagatron I don't think anyone can argue that quebecois are not lazy. They do work less than everyone else in Canada. Look at France, they work less than any other european country and strike all the time. French put higher values on other aspects of life other than career and money. This isn't a bad thing, but don't try to argue that french aren't lazy.

using a strong word such as lazy is a stretch though. I don't consider myself as lazy (work + study full time). My parents are not lazy, and my friends are not either.

The only factual argument you could make is that work is not a value as predominant in Qu�b�coise culture as in other cultures.

Originally posted by zokissima Interesting thread, some useful insight. I am kind of nervous about moving to Montreal this spring. I speak very minimal French, but would like to learn. However, I've heard of some problems with finding same level positions within Montreal without French.

what kind of job are you looking for?

+1. Quebecers are also very active outside of work, imo. The whole work-balance thing I find progressive, though there are always bad apples that will skew ones thinking.

NO Comment. At least in public.

OTTAWA � Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper shut down Parliament on Thursday in an unprecedented attempt to keep his government in power, fending off a no-confidence vote he was all but certain to lose. Less than two months after winning re-election, Harper successfully asked the unelected representative of the head of state for the power to close down Parliament until Jan. 26, hoping to buy enough time to develop a stimulus package that could prop up the economy. "Today's decision will give us an opportunity � I'm talking about all the parties � to focus on the economy and work together," Harper said after the private meeting. Governor General Michaelle Jean, who represents Britain's Queen Elizabeth II as head of state, granted the unusual request to suspend parliament. Had she refused, Harper would have had two choices: step down or face a no-confidence vote Monday he was sure to lose. Harper would not offer details on their conversation. Three opposition parties united against Harper, charging he has failed to insulate Canada from the global financial crisis. The credit crisis and a global sell off of commodities have slowed Canada's resource-rich economy, and the finance minister said last week he expects a recession. "For the first time in the history of Canada the prime minister is running away from the parliament of Canada," said Liberal leader Stephane Dion, who headed up the opposition movement against Harper. He said the coalition would seek to oust Harper unless he makes a "monumental change" in dealing with the economy and the opposition. The opposition was also outraged by a government proposal to scrap public subsidies for political parties, something the opposition groups rely on more than the Conservatives. Although that proposal was withdrawn, the opposition has continued to seek Harper's ouster, saying he has lost the trust and confidence of parliament. Opposition New Democrat leader Jack Layton called it a sad day. "He's trying to lock the door of Parliament so that the elected people cannot speak," Layton said. "He's trying to save his job." Layton said the shutdown only delays Harper's inevitable defeat. Harper's Conservative Party was re-elected Oct. 14 with a strengthened minority government, but still must rely on the opposition to pass legislation. The Liberals, New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois, which together control a majority of parliament's 308 seats, signed a pact agreeing to vote this coming Monday to oust Harper and setting the structure for their proposed coalition government. Analysts said a governor general has never been asked to suspend parliament to delay an ouster vote when it was clear the government didn't have the confidence of a majority of legislators.

Monieurs et Madammes c'est le temp pour la revolution!
