More recently, the councils of some 40, predominantly English-speaking, municipalities have voted in favor of "Staying Canadian" in the event of Quebec separation."

In the Mid 90's 100's of Corp's fled Quebec due to the possibility of the province becoming a Sovereign Nation. This includes The Bank of Montreal which now has it's Corporate Offices and Exec's in Toronto. How much more money does Quebec have to lose before they realize that it is financial doom to separate from the rest of Canada?
