painintheass, the problem isn't that you feel different in some way, but that you want to force everyone else to be different like you. If your town / city / village / tent / whatever it is just happens to be 300 miles from the nearest highway, don't complain about how hard it is to drive to walmart (that closed because some morons think stocking shelves at a discount store should somehow earn them enough to both buy a house and drive a new car - and support their whole family).
Choosing to live in a place that has limited services, or choosing to REMAIN in those places is a choice you make. It is a lifestyle thing, it is a way of life. Trust me, I have done the tour of the province completely, and I have seen the types of places you must surely be from (the places that think chimbougamou is the BIG CITY). It's nice, it's lovely it's peaceful - but there is no way you can tell me that you should get as much access to services up there that I do here in a city. Quite simply, it isn't economically feasable to do it.
When it does happen, it occurs at great expense. The collective governments spend millions of dollars each year running air ambulances from the north to the cities to treat sick and injured people. Why? Because millions is still way cheaper and way more effective than building a full hospital in every town, inlet, and hamlet. Seperating from Canada isn't suddenly going to make a hospital appear, nor will it suddenly make jobs, properity, and a videotron video club appear at the end of the block.
I have come to the conclusion that you are bitching mostly because you parents raised you in a place that had little, and now that you have seen the world, you feel somewhat slighted. Don't blame Canada for your personal issues.
