For, without Quebec, and the huge continuing expense to taxpayers in the rest of the nation of bribing it to remain, our federal coffers would be overflowing and we’d soon wipe out the entire $500 billion debt, which would be a tremendous boost to our economy.
English Canada would need some 25% fewer federal government employees, there would be no more need to continue to pay hundreds of millions of dollars into sinkholes like Bombardier, the headquarters of Air Canada, plus a stack of federal government agencies now located in Quebec, could be relocated.
That Hull, the other half of the so-called national capital region, would be a ghost town of empty buildings which would be the Quebec government’s problem.
Just as Europe, with a notable exception being Britain, has the common currency of the Euro, Quebec would be free to still use the Canadian dollar, but with no input into what the Bank of Canada does, or opt for the U.S. dollar.
Quebecers would not be able to have Canadian passports, or any other attributes of Canada.
Why would they, though?
I support allowing alberta to decide if they want to join the USA.
