Re: RE: Quebec is a nation? What does that mean?
The PQ have no plan, they just want their names in the history books. How can Quebecers vote for something without knowing any specifics of it. If nothing is really going to change, is it worth it?
poligeek said:Could be. The PQ has not been too clear on what the tangiable benefits to Quebequers would be. There are plenty of economic arguments as to why Quebec should not split. Originally (and I don't know if this is still the case), Quebec wanted to keep the Canadian currency if it split. This of course got the backs up of many Canadian Federalists, on the other hand several countries besides the US use the US currency.
I don't think there are too many economic incentives for Quebec to leave, although they may retain more of their tax, as opposed to giving into Ottawa, although I think their transfer payments are higher than most proviences, but I think they are still a "have" provience so they give more than they get in return.
