Bossnass, thank you for your very informative post. This is the kind of stuff they should teach in Quebec high schools, where everyone has to take a few history classes.
Powderedmaggot, are you saying that if all of Canada voted to kick Quebec out, and the results were close (say 51% "no", 49% "yes"), then Quebec leaders and marketing companies would stop accepting money from the rest of Canada? I believe such results would have the same impact as the '95 referendum: Quebec leaders would continue to milk federal funds to support their "we're so oppressed" platform. I know I'm not oppressed. I don't get any flack for speaking French in my province and I know that if I DO get any grief from speaking it outside of Quebec, then it spews forth from people with the same misguided resentment that many Quebecers have for anglophones. I really wish all of this shit would stop, but this problem has a long history behind it...
