Both separatist movements stem from a belief that they are "culturally distinct" from the rest of Canada. Which is a really dumb reason. So is Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut.
Heck, there's cultural differences between Cape Breton and Southwest Nova Scotia, between Grand Manan and Moncton, between Newfoundland and Labrador. There`s cultural differences between cities, within cities.
Separatists are just whiny little brats, that can`t stand it when things don`t go there own way.
Not true.
