In response to Sadistic-Savior's post... "Quebec is hardly oppressed". True its people are not openly oppressed like in the past, but they were, for a long time, in all sorts of way, not all physical. People remember. As an American you should know, the little guy fighting against the odds for his freedom merits respect. What if 30 years before the American revolution, the British suddenly became real nice guys? Would Washington, Jefferson and the others have forgotten about independence? Would they have said, we have all we need for a comfortable life, we're represented, let bygons be bygons, lets stay British forever? There's more behind the drive for freedom than wanting to stop being oppressed and being represented. And no, Quebec is not as liberal as you might think, it's actually less and less liberal than Canada. People here are rising up against Muslim values, they fight in Afghanistan, have strong family values, support stronger control in immigration, are against affirmative action, etc. Quebeckers in general have respect for Americans, most of those who don't have been taught to think that way by Canadians. The Canadian elite has been telling us to look down on the US since they first got here. Remember who the Canadians are. They're the descendants of loyalists that fled the US because they did not support the Revolution. These guys were basically traitors and collaborators.
I should shut up and let me, my children and my grandchildren spent the rest of eternity with these guys? Their heart were never at the right place. I voted yes to independence and will do it again. God bless George Washington, and Michael Collins in Ireland, they had the heart at the right place.
