The Conservatives do not want or plan to break up Canada. It is a "wild" notion to suggest that.
Myself and many others would like to see the infected tissue cut away from the host and discarded to leave the main body of Canada healthier, but i can understand how you might interpret that as breaking up Canada.
I don't see it that way, I see it as treating the Cancer.

If I may be so bold, I would like to point out that an independent quebec,LancsLad said:
hoever it's borders would be, would still exist in North America. So it is
semantically correct to describe that process as breaking up Canada, into
your Canada and Quebec.
Legally Lancs is correct, an independent Québec is historic Lower Canada NOT including Rupert's Land/The District of Ungava.danmand said:
What Canada transferred to Québec from the Northwest Territories by the Quebec Boundary Extension Act of 1898 and the Quebec Boundaries Extension Act of 1912, was transferred to a Province not to an independent state that had no valid claim to it before that date.
Errr, no. We haven't embarrassed ourselves before the world because nobody in the rest of the world pays attention to what happens in Canada.fuji said:

Fantasy. In reality the people living in that area are subject to the Quebec National Assembly, Canada recognizes that Quebec law applies there, and most importantly, they would be participants in any vote for Quebec to separate.Aardvark154 said:
What Quebec was when it entered confederation need not have much or anything to do with what it Quebec is when it leaves.
Well if you want to roll over and play dead. . .fuji said:
Further, given that the overwhelming majority of the people of Ungava voted against any sort of separation in all previous votes . . . .
I doubt very much, that when the french speaking people separate fromAardvark154 said:
Canada, that they will call their territory "Lower Canada". I am pretty sure they will call it Quebec.
As De Gaulle said: Vivre Quebec Libre.
When I heard that speach by De Gaulle back in the old country, I was
dismayed at De Gaulle. After having lived in Canada and heard the
disrespect and hate being expressed towards quebecers from many
english speaking canadians, and yesterday by the canadian prime minister,
I have changed my mind, and I believe it would only be fair to give Quebec
as much sovereignty as they want.

What would you expect. When listening to the free-for-alls in Parliament it sounds like a bunch of baboons during a feeding frenzy at the zoo.danmand said:
I say let them go and be done with it......
Of course the following would have to apply:
- They get their share of the national debt
- They pay for their own health care
- They give up their Canadian passports, rights,and all other benefits of Canadian citizenship
This is only the short list and as a have not province how are they going to pay for everything especially when Danny Williams gets to set up a new Churchill Falls agreement for Hydro $$$$$ I would love to see how they could do it without the rest of us !!

I know that you read English very well Danmand. When did I say that if Québec were to attempt to leave Canada they would call themselves "Lower Canada?"danmand said:
Rather I made a legal/political/historical point as to the territory that would comprise that Québec.
The people of Québec would I suspect find that à la the famous Star Trek quotation "having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."danmand said:
