Exactly, in fact canada should unite with united states, at least they wouldnt have to deal with the stupid queen/monarchy thing.
Instead you want us to deal with that stupid bush thing??? you are an idiot.

Yes, Quebec is a nation. I say that from the context of "canada" considering itself the country founded by two nations.
And Ontario was the other, possibly including Nova Scotia and New Brunswick? C'mon, you should know better than that. It was France, not Quebec, that was one of the founding nations.Quebec wants to protect its distinctiveness, and has a basis in being one of the "founding nations".
Quebec is not special and doesn't deserve any special recognition.

Canada can survive without them, they can't survive without Canada.

So Hotshot, by saying so, your telling palestinans in the same time that they don't deserve a "nation", because they need International funding to "survive".
I don't think that Québec would need subsidized revenue, since, on the morning of the independence, you won't ask yourself if your at war with your neighbor, but instead you'll seek to understand us better as we really are. Not "melted" in Canadian British rules and laws, monarchy link is another question there. Do you think we are bound to it as the rest of you are ???
Think twice. Québec is a STRONG nation (recognizing Québec is not a "Country", but "nation"), therefore we would do well, and probably better mutually because we are peaceful and share some values. Don't be afraid of who you are so we can know you better is what I would suggest you Hotshot...
Til' then... Have a good one... Love Ya ;-)

true separation has nothing to do with Quebec
true separation should happen at both borders of ontario, leaving us westerners and the maritimes with
our own nations,in every aspect of life, politics, sports, etc. the west is forgotton, we are the ones who
are different, ontario and quebec love each other, they belong together, live happily ever after, you both
have most of our money now, so what more do you need from us.
Quebec a nation?
Quebec was given most of her land on joining Canada. Quebec's developement has been generously subsidised by the rest of Canada. My feeling is that Quebec can leave with what they came with, no more. The "nation", in this equation is Canada not Quebec.
Ontario and Quebec love each other? I can't say I agree with that.
We both of most of your money now? Last time I checked, Ontario wasn't sucking up all the transfer payments like some provinces.
Economy as it is treated today is, in itself, a huge recipe for disaster...

As if Canadian federalism was the only possible option for a thriving economy... As if the remnants of British imperialism was the only way to create peaceful prosperity...
BULL****!
There is business to be done in Quebec like anywhere else and it's foolish to think otherwise...
Unlike many Canadians, I'm not religious about Canada.

All I want is positive change and the more nations I can relate to, the happier I am.
It seems that people here don't understand exactly what a nation is. Based on most replies, members seem to think the word nation is synonymous with state. This is simply not the case.
Agreed, but I don't see that Quebec's suffered particularly in that way, or that I suggested that it should.Just because one group isn't vocal about itself doesn't mean other groups should be denied their distinctiveness by said group.
That's not how I feel and I'm not of that camp. That's a remarkably silly straw man argument.If that is how you feel, then perhaps you would be of the camp that thinks "let quebec try to separate, and when the anglos defeat them again, this time don't give them their culture".
