They didn't come close to separating, the Bloc Quebecois was done at the time, and the referndum proved it. Quebec can't live without Ontario and the equalisation payments from other provinces, especially Alberta, so it's a dead issue.

Being that it's a free country, they can elect a party of their choice, but that doesn't mean they have the power to do as they please. I don't see it as any more than a waste of taxpayer money, by a new entity wanting to raise the hackles of disenfranchised Quebecers, but I can't see many of them voting to be their own country.

It's too late for the separatists, they should have tried it 100 years ago.

they do quite well being a part of Canada. They stir this up every
election.

I half hope they do so we can teach them a lesson on why its not nice to hate people with an Ontario licence plate on their vehicle. Sanctions against the damn separatist.

I feel sad about this devision the fact they don't feel like Canadians and try to make this country united and better.
The older generation indeed refuses to give directions and the younger ones I have heard, laugh when you try to talk in French.

I wish they had tried it then so we are done with this.
They act like spoiled children and often get their way, Why???
I remember several hospitals needed to close and did.
Quebec put up so much fuss they were allowed to stay open.

I think that it is a non issue and could never really happen. Why is it whenever you go to the grocery store that 90% of the time the product boxes are turned with the French side out?laugh wave canada

i was in quebec on vacation from the west coast last time when it was happening.

i do not speak french. was raised on the west coast.

it wont happen...it's just pot stirring and does not represent the majority.
surviving without federal funding would be an issue.

It could happen as the vote was 49% in favor.
I don't know who remembers but I always found it a conspiracy that Bourassa got that flesh eating virus around that time.
