Then think of it this way..
Even if the 'Yes' vote was 51%, that would still make 49% unhappy with it...
And now the MAJOR change and economic turmoil that would pretty much rend Quebec apart after that, really wouldn't be worth it..
Economically, what arguments can you give, that point towards a stronger Quebec?
First off, they lose Canada's trade advantage, becoming 'just another small exporter'
Second, they assume massive costs in government restructuring, currency creation, armed forces, etc
Third, the complete instability will furthur hamper trade negotiations with other countries.. And all exports would have to leave through Canada...
Many international companies WOULD pull their headquarters out of Montreal, just fearing change... (plus, the majority of their international business IS in English)
long story short.. separation is economic suicide, regardless of proposed cultural benefits....
