Tell me how things have been different then, enlighten me if I'm so ignorant about Quebec's behavior over the last... oh 30 years? How many times has it almost torn the entire country apart because Quebec had such a desperate need to be more important? This country does a pretty damn good job at acknowledging and supporting other cultures and belief systems, sometimes to the point where it precludes our own. How is it that my statements are ignorant? How HONESTLY has Quebec been so hard done by?

The problem that Quebec has is more political than just the language...I do not believe that it is fair to just insult Quebecers and just call them babies. I do not believe that Quebec should seperate from Canada but there is more to it...
"The idea of sovereignty for Quebec is based, according to its proponents, on historical and sociological evidence that Quebecers are a people and a political nation, that they have democratic control over a state of their own, but that inside the Canadian federation as it currently stands, this state does not have the constitutional powers which the Quebec government needs to be the effective national government of Quebecers. Within Canada, the policies of the government of Quebec may occasionally be in conflict with the policies of the federal government, however, this situation is not unique to Quebec and occurs at times with other provinces."
