I really don't know too much about the history of the separatist movement, but it seems like Harper is getting closer to the truth of the matter: that there is a widespread respect for Quebec culture and independence, but no compelling argument for a new separate nation. This casts the issue in a more realistic light.

Maybe Quebec should be more autonomous. My own experience of the issue happened mostly when I was going into 6th grade. We lived in Pointe-Claire. I was an immigrant and had to attend a French school, leaving all my friends for a year. That's about the extent of it.

What other examples of nations within nations are there? How are these working? How does the Bloc find provincial law to be limiting?
