If the people of Quebec ever voted to secede, the first thing the secessionist leaders would do is demand a recount.

As a nation separate from the rest of Canada, Quebec's prospects for long-term viability are damn near zero.

Wouldn't bother me to see Canada break up then we could buy or other wise incorporate BC Alberta Yukon into the US and have a clear path up to AK.

Fine!
Let the French-Canadians is Quebec Province STAND ALONE.

Their socialist demands and liberal policies will result in a disaster... Exactly what they deserve..
Another French Speaking Turd World "nation"..

At least then, they'll be defecating into their own Easter Basket.

May I as a transplanted working class English lad (snotnose) hold forth? This is most inconsiderate of me though. I wish to inform one and all of an urban legend. At one time, likeable Mike Duffy,(Sort of respected T/V pundit), informed Canadians of this. Just before a Quebec vote on separation , Mike (nice guy) intoned that IF the vote on the Quebec referendum went to a close juncture, how curious it would be. Mikey said, suppose the vote went to within half a percentage of separation, but the separatists lost- he intoned, what a bargaining point the separatists would have.

He may have inferred that THEN the separatists could threaten Canada and gain more and more big payments of transfer dollars- or else.

The legend is that the separatists WON. They saw the goose of the golden egg, dissapearing. They fuffled(destroyed the ballots) the vote and left it - exactly as Mike Duffy postulated- only a measly half a percent to stay in dear old Canada.

True or not true, they have blackmailed this rather mixed up, but lovely old land. Give us more or else, they say. No more, says I. A Quebec dollar would be worth 25 cents- and Quebec aint that stupid.

I hope we won't have to deal with one more anti-American country on our border, if it was to search for another chance of independence. Dozens of awful scenarios are flying in my mind for the French speaking people having their state declared independent.

Separatist leaders in French-speaking Quebec are rubbing their hands with glee

In which case the rest of Canada must be doing cartwheels.
