I understand that, and I don't mean to get you fired up, but would Canada really be off worse without Quebec? They don't like you, they're liberal, they're basically French.

Wouldn't you be richer, more conservative and more cohesive without that province?

Problem being that Quebec is this big geographical area, smack in the middle of our country.

Imagine the Midwest US separating......

It may surprise you but, the Liberal Party gangsters haven't won a majority of Quebec's federal seats in now almost three decades.
In many quarters of the province they're actually far more despised than they are in English Canada precisely because Quebecers know them just that much better.

Interestingly, this hatred for the Librano$ skews Quebec politics in ways most outsiders are unaware:
In many parts of the province a lot of the separatist vote is actually an anti-Liberal vote while, in other areas, people hold their noses to vote for them because they're more afraid of the Bloc separatists.

Both the Liberals & the Bloc Quebecois are rightly terrified by the recent rise in popularity of our Conservatives since both well know the basis of their support is anything but firm in many parts of the province.

You are right on all three counts - but heavy on the richer part.
