if Quebec were to seperant in a referendom they would have to become a self sufficient state. That would mean no $$$$ from the rest of the country like Ontario and most of all Alberta!

Quebecers have it pretty good being part of Canada!!!

Personally, I am so fed up and sick to death with these leftist Quebecers whining about separatism that if I was Prime Minister I would simply say "Go already. Leave. And if that is what you choose to do, don't you EVER think of trying to come back." I would send those geniuses on their way without so much as a silver nickel and shut the door. See how well their ideology translates into a healthy state. Let Mother France take care of them.

They ruined that place during the Quiet Revolution, anyway.

[Resurrexi]

OH MY GOSH! Nathan, it's not "Quebecers" it's "Quebecois"! Get it right!

[Nathan]

They call themselves Quebecois, I call them Quebecers. Hey, it's better than what most people in English-speaking Canada call them.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

Should Quebec succeed? Succeed in what? Would a successful Quebec be a good or bad thing?
Nothing succeeds like success!

Or did you mean to say should Quebec [b]secede[/b] ?
Personally, I think they should try (though I'm not sure their secession would succeed ). [mod][edited by inDEED - We don't want to offend our Canadian brethren!][/mod]

Independence. They want to be a separate country.

[homeschoolmom]

S-U-C-C-E-S-S! That's the way we spell success!

As for Quebec, who cares? I like Quebec... I like the rest of Canada, too. But, um, yeah, for me it's a vacation spot.

I vote for that option.

Quebec deserves independence from Canada. The rest of Canada is WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) , but Quebec is WFCC (White French-Canadian Catholic), so it needs to be a seperate country because it has a separate culture. Also, Canada is waaaaaay to liberal, and I think Quebec would be conservative if they got the homosexuals out of there. Moreover, Canada is predominately Enlgish speaking and Quebec is predominately French speaking, so they need to separate.

[Winchester]

I believe Quebec should faile

I didn't vote because "I don't care" was not an option.

[Tata126]

All I know about Quebec is that it has lots of trees and maple sugar and the Frenchies pronounce things funny, but I sympathize with any state that knows it's an independent nation and is just waiting for everybody else to figure it out too. (I'm a Texan.)

From everything I've heard/read (including from former Quebecois), Quebec is at least as liberal as the rest of Canada. Unfortunately, just because a region or country is ethnically "Catholic" doesn't mean the people there actually live and practice their Faith, much less that is "conservative."

Your statement "I think Quebec would be conservative if they got the homosexuals out of there" is an ignorant and naive one. A prevelance of homosexuality in a place is usually a symptom of a larger cultural/social disease there. Quebec currently has the lowest birthrate in the Americas. That is usually not an indication of a healthy "conservative" society.

I think Canada was neither WASPy nor WFCC (whatever the heck that is) a couple hundred years ago... Maybe it would be best to return the natives to control and get all the whites out.

"I think Canada was neither WASPy nor WFCC (whatever the heck that is) a couple hundred years ago... "

The WFCCs have been in Quebec since the late 1600s, I think, which would make it three centuries ago rather than two centuries ago.

"Maybe it would be best to return the natives to control and get all the whites out. "

The Amerindians had no right to the land until they converted to Catholicism.

[homeschoolmom]

I don't think Native Canadians like to be called Amerindians, but whatever...
