At the moment, the economy is pretty sh*tty in the province of Quebec, and... no, just no. The main reason why some people want us to separate is that they don't feel like they fit in Canada because the culture is too different. I personally don't understand why it would be a good idea to put ourselves in a bad situation for a reason that is not really a problem. In the past, the idea of separation was understandable, given that the rest of Canada was actually treating Quebec poorly, but not anymore. Anyway, if a referendum happened right now, I think the results would be more similar to those of 1980 than 1995, which means that less than half of the population would want to separate. 9 minutes ago, ZarinStar said: No, no, no, why can't we let this go? Quebec won't survive on its own, and we passed so many bills to support language rights among other things for francophones. This never makes sense to me, and I don't understand how Parti Quebecois still exist. It's too weak on a federal level Also, if Quebec is its own country, it will be a big ugly hole in Canada's map and you have to cross two border controls to go from East to West Things are better with Quebec than before, so I'm sure we won't separate. 22 minutes ago, TheCountess said: I knew this would happen I can't believe some people still think Quebec could hold its own as an independant country. We've had two referendums and the answer was NO both times, and while we did come close to seperating in 95, that was over 20 years ago and seeing how the Parti Québécois has pretty much imploded since then, it's clear to me that independancy is no longer a priority for the vast majority of Quebecers. I too believe neither would benefit from Quebec leaving I think the younger generation from what i see doesnt care to leave, older people seem to Also weve been going to Montreal a lot lately to party and i dont wanna have to use a passport to get to our new hangout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U get the idea In fact the economy was so heated that there were pictures of streets with 6 businesses all saying help wanted cause the labor shortage was so big. In parts of Alberta you could earn $20/h working at a coffee shop! They talked about seperation cause their GDP Per Capita was 100% above National Average and they lost Billions to the Federal Government in taxes Now ever since natural resources (especially oil) crashed and they in big recession you never hear seperation anymore from them Maybe economic misery is key to make someone not wanna leave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly those who still believe in separation need to let it go, big time. Before you ask, I'm a Francophone from South-shore Montreal EDIT: besides, with so many cultural diversities in Quebec now, to separate would be a immigrant-repellant action. Bad idea.
