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.

sorry, in ANY real democratic country, 50%+1 is enough ;)

The Government of Canada would not recognize a unilateral declaration because of its composition, and could not because of the Supreme Court of Canada reference. You would really be in a moral and legal no man's land after a UDI, correct?

Not besides France ... when you open that up, you see, you put the Americans in a sort of quandry. You know, the Monroe Doctrine and that sort of thing? It would have been awfully difficult for political change of that order in the Americas with the Americans sitting on the sideline. One of the things that the Americans will not try, certainly is to choose Quebec over Canada. Not in any way. If they can avoid recognizing Quebec because Canada would not recognize Quebec, they will. And they support you fully, wholly in this. But there's one thing they don't like -- it's that another country, a unitary country of some size is recognizing Quebec. That inevitably changes their position. They know that -- look I know this. I've discussed these things long enough with the United States to know very well. Yes indeed, the key is France
