Hopefully Quebec will actually leave this time so the rest of the country can stop bending over backwards for them. I think both the federal government and Quebec are getting tired of constant compromises and clashes.

In the unlikely event that the sovereigntist side did win they have even less chance of convincing the First Nations who have treaty rights to the vast majority of Quebec to join them in leaving Canada.
An independent Quebec would be mostly a thin line along the St. Lawrence River.

More asymmetrical federalism and economic concessions for …. drum roll , energy east ….
PAQ isnt unpopular because the PQ is more popular, they are unpopular because they are failing to produce on economics and cultural wishes .
If the youth and sepertist of Quebec go to the PQ its not because their ideology matches , its because they want change and they dont feel like Legault is capable of it nor our the representing the values the CAQ are supposedto represent.
All hypothetical ofcourse but the political landscape everywhere in Canada is fascinating right now and Quebec has the added culture factor to make it that much more interesting.

I live in QC and I’m so tired of this never ending « battle » between the separatists and the rest of us
I’m a proud Canadian willing to move from here in the unlikely event of a separation..

Isn’t the PQ mistaking it’s large support, support for Seperatism? I thought it’s mainly people supporting them because the other options are simply bad

It’d be interesting to see if the Russian or the Chinese can run a successful online influencing campaign in Canadian French.
Something tells me the comments from their bot armies would be really obvious to native speakers. There are *only* 310 million French speakers compared to 1.5 billion English speakers and Quebecois itself has its own peculiarities and eccentricities when compared to other dialects(?). Can they really find enough people with fluency to present arguments as if they were being made by real people in Quebec?
Anyway, I’m pretty stoked that we’re basically condemned to wasting time on something like this every 30 years until the separatists get the results they want.

I think the Trump craziness of the last year delayed this but it was brewing. Gerald Butts had good commentary on this on the bridge podcast last year.

Here we go again!
Weird timing, with the US going full-meltdown and the whole world of uncertainty we have going on. Not exactly the boom times, like it was in the 90s. It seems like it would be a disaster. For Quebec. For Canada. The main reason we could do a lot of things we used to – like not spend on the military – was because of a great relationship with the US. That no longer exists.
I’m glad Carney’s team is thinking about it, at least.

Ok, this isn’t some tv bullshit.
Sovereignty is still overing at less than 40% in polls.
Canada doesn’t need influencers, it needs to learn respect.
