I hate to keep making comparisons to the US, but look how people from one region tease people from another region, yet when push comes to shove on an international level they are ALL Americans and stand united as such. To me, that's how Canada should be. All of Canada. I see no threat to French culture at all, except for what is in the minds of some extremists who have infected the minds of a few million others.
To me, a united Canada is the best future we can have.

But Canada is united right now and this situation continues. And that is just the point. If there was a third option... one that promised to put in better roads, stop the un-employment, get teachers that can actually read and write french, etc.
I would vote for them.
What I believe and I hope many others are too.
Is this:
1. Montreal and Quebec do not care about the rest of the province. They are not serious about seperation because they would actually have to govern and anything that goes wrong would be their fault. Not the federal goverment.
2. Federal Goverment likes the seperatists. Because as long as they play on the fears of rural Quebec'rs the seperatists remain in power and the federal goverment is not obligated to get involved directly with out problems. They can pretend to blind to the issues and blame the seperatists for our problems the same way the seperatists blame the federals for them.
For me I would vote for anyone that gets people off of the welfare
