Fact
No country will recognize the breakup of one of the worlds most successful countries on the basis of a simple majority in one region of the country. With a 2/3rds majority, which you'll never get, you'll have international support. Then there's still the problem of what to do with the millions of Canadians in the province of Quebec who don't want to seperate. Do you tell them they have too leave or give up their citizenship? If they leave will they be compensated by the new country for their loss of property? What if they refuse to leave and refuse to accept the authority of the new government? What if the regions who voted no decide to seperate from this utopian french wonderland of New France; will you send in your army or will you accept their democratic process.
You've been sold an ivory towers pipe dream if you think a 51% yes vote gets you what you want.
