If it wasn't you, it was NoCarrier or Skillful - the two big pro-separatists...
No, not me ... But read what I said: Beaudoin threatened to move his plant ... Now, would he have done it... No. unless the federal gov would have showered him with more subvention that he gets now ...

Site note: My ex father-in-law, jewish, always said he would move out the next morning.... He is still here, his business has prospered and expanded ... His friends, that went to Toronto, half of them are back ....

read above. And don't forget why companies exists : for profit. They will stay in Quebec as long as they can make a buck, in or out of Canada.

The only way I see it, is if there's a STRONG desire THROUGHOUT the province..EG: 80%... When it's a narrow margin, you should stay with the status quo
We are governed now in Canada by a party that has less than 40% of the votes .... Provincial, municipal and so on ...
So , as an example, Bush in the US should not be president ??/ I think he brought a big turmoil no ???


Why 80%, why not 85% , or 32 % ... International laws exists on this matter. Consult them.

50% plus one ...
