Which countries use the US dollar as currency? I have no idea on this one. Knowing Quebec, they will want a dollar bill with Rene-Levesque picture on it, thats a guarantee. Quebecers arent all that friendly towards the US so this leads to believe me that they probably wont go to the US $$.
I have to agree that theres going to be a huge transition period and its gonna cost a shitload of cash. Border control, port control,armed forces, intelligence etc. Those are all federal agecies in federal buildings, I have no idea how they are going to negotiate stuff like that.

yeah Hydro is definitly our best asset, and dont forget we can produce a shitload more and sell it to the US or Ontario :P
yeah Quebec ppl doesnt like the America that elected Bush but i think whatever we use our own currency or another one, that not a big problem..
for the federal stuff, what in Quebec stay in Quebec :P (if only it was that easy...)
but it will be done cause it will be in the interest of both parties to solve it the fastest way...
