No, the rest of Canada should do the honourable thing and negotiate a fair deal for Quebec to become more independent.
When Quebec achievs full independence. Vivre Quebec Libre.Provinces already have a huge amount of independence, plus there has been a great deal of effort expended to accommodate greater independence for Quebec. The question is, when you keep doing this, when does Canada cease to become a federation?
Apparently the PQ believe that it is not enough independence. Why not give them what they want? The only thing the rest of Canada should be demanding is clarity. We should require that any future referendum spell out exactly what sort of association Quebec wants with Canada, and we should encourage them to put it to a vote.Provinces already have a huge amount of independence
Regretably, we already knew you have no respect for "For Queen" now we learn you have little to no respect for "and Country." :frown:When Quebec achievs full independence. Vivre Quebec Libre.
It's really not that simple, what do you do about other nations within Quebec like the first nations...what do you do if the greater Montreal Region decides it wants to stay in Canada? Those are just a small part of the issues. Then there is the debt, usage of the Canadian dollar etc etc. On the plus side the Quebec peso will be in the toilet and we would be able to go and bang Quebec hookers for $25.. lolApparently the PQ believe that it is not enough independence.

I have no objection to some sort of sovereignty association. I do object to an extended period of uncertainty which would hinder Canada's ability to implement and execute economic policy.
What I would prefer is a renegotiated federalism that Quebec would also buy into--but if they don't want it, I'm not interested in forcing it on them.
Sigh... the rest of Canada should have a referendum to tell them to fuck off.
Both of you should loosen those belts around you collective necks.No, the rest of Canada should do the honourable thing and negotiate a fair deal for Quebec to become more independent.
If they do leave, will you leave what's left of the country you so love? :biggrin1:When Quebec achievs full independence. Vivre Quebec Libre.
The only disadvantage I can see is that all the regions of Canada will become more dependent upon the US if Canada splits into several quasi-independent countries. However, canadians seem to have little concern for becoming more integrated with the US.
Well, a brief moment of clarity. There is hope.It's really not that simple, what do you do about other nations within Quebec like the first nations...what do you do if the greater Montreal Region decides it wants to stay in Canada?

I am preparing for my first grape harvest next week, so the answer will be : NO.If they do leave, will you leave what's left of the country you so love?
Further, Nouveau-Québec (currently refered to as Nord-du-Québec) was given by the Federal Government to Québec in 1912. It had never historically been part of Québec, rather having been part of Rupert's Land. Should Québec decide to go its own way presumably what the Federal Government giveth the Federal Government can taketh away (and this includes the James Bay Hydro-Electric projects).It's really not that simple, what do you do about other nations within Quebec like the first nations...what do you do if the greater Montreal Region decides it wants to stay in Canada?

If only 28% of Quebecers support separation, it would appear more than anglophones are against it. I like to know if you were living in Canada during the two referendums and experienced the drama and trauma they brought.I am preparing for my first grape harvest next week, so the answer will be : NO.
I cannot help feeling that english speaking canadians could be more generous in helping Quebec gain independence, instead of fighting them at every turn. I am sure that an equitable solution could be found if every region negotiated in good faith.
Yes, but that is exactly my point. The rest of Canada, as I see it, was extremely ungraceful in fighting tooth and nail against the aspirations of the quebecers.If only 28% of Quebecers support separation, it would appear more than anglophones are against it.

:frusty: :frusty:Yes, but that is exactly my point. The rest of Canada, as I see it, was extremely ungraceful in fighting tooth and nail against the aspirations of the quebecers.
Neat, wrong but neat, so were you living in Canada during the last referendums? Do you need to check past posts?Yes, but that is exactly my point. The rest of Canada, as I see it, was extremely ungraceful in fighting tooth and nail against the aspirations of the quebecers.
I'm confused too. Is he saying that Canada is fighting the aspirations of the Quebecois to stay a part of Canada?:frusty: :frusty:
The two step can be confusing when done in clogs.I'm confused too. Is he saying that Canada is fighting the aspirations of the Quebecois to stay a part of Canada?
What part of Yes is it you do not understand?Neat, wrong but neat, so were you living in Canada during the last referendums? Do you need to check past posts?
