Export to leave thru Canada... sure, we have no airports or ports ... Don't forget, we own a part of ALL ports and airports of Canada ...

Your attitude is the type that makes be lean on the separation side. And when I change or forget, there is always another TED WINTERS to remind me .... JE ME SOUVIENS.
Precisely.. Quebec exports Natural Resources... Wanna bet Canada will tariff them at the borders?
As for 'owning part of all ports and airports', do you really think that will stand when Quebec walks away from it's portion of Canadian debt?? (As is currently planned)...
Unfortunately, you can use the St. Lawrence river to ship all your exports out, cause it's iced over 6 months of every year....
So, you'll have to truck 'em to the coast...

Now, in terms of 'government' already existing, just imagine how much work will have to go in to creating your own post office!! There's so many little things like that..
The US won't want you using the US dollar, as it'll change their money supply... you'll need to either continue using Canada's. or creat your own.. And of course, if Canada doesn't want to let you, you can't 'just use it', without facing even more sanctions!!
