If and when Quebec separates from our country and takes whatever they have GDP-wise with them along with cash from Ottawa (Sovereignty-association, not complete sovereignty), will the newly formed nation replace Canada in the G8 and place it with economic powerhouses like Japan, Great Britain, France, and the USA? I could see it happening because Quebec is already very economically and along with cash from Ottawa, it would be extremely powerful on the world stage.

It doesn't have the population or heavy industry base. It would rank with Norway, Sweden or Finaland for international impact. And take Canada down to Australia's level.

No it won't be in the G8 because it will be too small. Don't forget it will be counting on the Native lands but they had their own referendum and the majority voted to stay in Canada. Quebec will shrink quite a bit.

That's part of a worst case scenario if Quebec seperates. A civil war with the natives in the north of the province.

At least partially right............if Quebec attempts to separate without a clear majority on a clear question, civil war or a military occupation of Quebec is inevitable. If Quebec attempts to avoid negotiations on partition after a clear majority......same thing.

Countries do not divide peacefully, as a rule. Chezoslovakia (sp) is the exception to the rule, bit in that case BOTH populations wanted the divorce by an overwhelming majority.

The issue of extreme violence in this nation on the secession of Quebec is the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. That is a HUGE mistake. Sometimes populations fall into vicious
fights simply because no one believes it could happen.

Don't kid yourself.

There won't be enough left standing in Quebec for it to be considered more than a third world country.

Think Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia........

Think of the fact that Quebec is a have-not province. Even in a peaceful seperation, it aint getting money from Ottawa anymore, and would probably have to pay a large lump sum or annuity payment back to ottawa.

It will be in the line of G88, or better said a third world country. The debt will be hard to pay off. To get there we probably will have to ditch democracy.

The political push for seperation has changed since 1980. They want soveriegnty with the Canadian dollar as the currency, which changes the dynamics. Either this is a ploy to get people to except it better or they know the price is too high to pay.

Takes an American to say that. lol
Ask NYC where they get they're electricity.
Then one can Google it.

Well we are pretty daft when it comes to geography and history.

Did you Google it . It shares the border of NY Vermont NH and Maine.
Geography wasn't taught when you went to school?:wave:

No, they taught us instead how not to be gullible and think without being driven by bias. :wave:

Have a nice day.

Of course not!

Why would it be?

Nobody would care about Quebec. It would be insignificant in the global economy.

Of course, there'd really be no reason for Canada to be in anymore, either.


You're somewhat contradicting yourself. Your suggestion strongly implies that Canada's strength as an ecomonic power depends on Quebec. If true, logically Quebec would be fine if we as a whole are not without them.
