Idiot Quebecois. I was actually praying as a kid back in Vancouver that these whiny leeches would finally get out of confederation.

"Quebec's fertility rate is now equal to the Canadian averages. At 1.50, it is well below the replacement fertility rate of 2.1. This contrasts with the fertility rate before 1960 which was among the highest of the industrialized countries. The fertility rate is a little bit higher among the allophones than among the francophones and the anglophones."

Quebec is DOOMED as a harbour of French anything.

You evidently did NOT read the actual article, since it deals with ALBERTA’s separatist movement.

Oh yes I did, and just like an arrogant canuck who thumbs his nose at Americans, you just answered your own question.
