    Yes, or like Flemish people in Belgium or Basque people in Spain.

    :thinki never really thought of it as that. quebec is a very unique province and there's more to the discussion than i thought. it's tough to take the perspective as all my travels to quebec have been as a visitor from ontario in primarily billingual areas. this is a good talk...

    That attitude of superiority someone mentioned exists because Quebec culture has been pressured by English culture since early Canadian history. Montreal used to be mostly English dominated, by language, politically and financially. So if not for separation they feel the government can at least offer them some other types of appeasement for what they feel has been a historical injustice. A lot of conflict over the course of Canadian history starts because of one side being completely ignored when they want something done. The government may grant them more because they want to quell separatism.

    Your point is more than a bit off.

    Comparing the number of Francophones to the number of trekkies is WAY off and a bit disrespectful.


    You're still an English AND French speaking country.

    20 % being unilingual Francophone is too big a slice to qualify you as being solely an English speaking country.

    Look at it that way. If the '95 referendum (where the result where super close) happened in any other country, there would have been riots and anarchy. No violent event happened in Québec.

    We're not violent people (well except for hockey).:D

    Look, I don't care about the other provinces doing what they want, as long as Québec's official language is French.
