The things about this is that the Quebecois were never Nordique fans. It's all about the Montreal Canadiens. So you can go on and on about this, but no one cares.

I think everyone is missing the big picture. ..you have to keep in mind the Chretien Gov't and Quebec liberal gov't spent considerable resources in the last anti-separtist campaign. This kind of incident does little to dissipate quebec propanga that the federal gov't is not interested in the Quebecois. The difference between Ed the Sock and Truimph in making these comments is irrelevant, quebecers will see this as a English Canada slander - not comments made by a non-canadian. Last time i checked Quebec was not in the Constitution.

You're gay ok?
Not in a I'm actually gay way, but in a flaming "GHEY" (Jules' word) wow I'm a flamer way.
Why you ask?
Because you want to be French!

Lets put it this way, if Triumph had gone to Little Havana and made the same comments about Hispanics there would be hell to pay. If you want anymore proof all you ahve to do is chaeck out the Lovely how LOVELINE's turned racist! thread. The fact of the matter is you can't insult an entire group of people based on their ethnicity, culture or race, Conan crossed the line.

I had no problem with Triumph's tirade into Quebec, however, French Canadians have a different sense of humour than anglo-Canadians. They watch different types of comedies in Quebec (and the whole marketing scheme is different too). While most Canadians are familiar with Triump and his insults, his style may not be as well known among Canadiens, and even if it is, the separatist issue is a very sensititive, sticky issue among all Canadians.
It's been almost 9 nine years since the last referendum, and talks of separatism have been on the down low. It's nice to think that the country will stay together, but there is always the possibility that it may not. Quebec is an entirely different issue from legalizing gay marriages or decriminalizing marijuana - it would mean an entirely different Canada geographically and culturally, economically, etc. and that is a sad thought.
I don't think Conan will be the catalyst for the mumurings of separatism again, but it's understandable why some Canadians are upset.

I don't know guys...
Seems like the Federal Government is a bit quick on the whole "racist" key. I mean, I watched the show, and it's not worse than I've seen in the newspapers or on talkshows - and those are serious.
A INSULT COMIC DOG IS NOT SERIOUS. GEEEZZZZ.
(though, I'll agree it's a cheap Ed the Sock rip off. At least Ed has half naked chicks in a hot tub)
First Mr. Cherry, now this? What next - going after "This Hour"?

Not so much as that... had Triumph started spouting off that the Cuban trade embargo should be lifted and Fidel is really misunderstood and not the Commie tyrant he really is, the people of Little Havana woulda lynched him.
