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.

But they aren't now.
And they have full representation.
And their ideology is the same as the rest of Canada.
So what do they gain by seceding?

As an American you should know, the little guy fighting against the odds for his freedom merits respect.

Not if the fight itself has no merit. Fighting for the sake of fighting is pointless.

What if 30 years before the American revolution, the British suddenly became real nice guys?

We are not discussing hypotheticals. We are discussing Quebec's
current situation.

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?

Yeah, probably. The whole point of our revolution was that we were taxed but not represented. Quebec
has representation. The situations are therefore not analogous.

And no, Quebec is not as liberal as you might think

Yeah right. Gimme a break.

If you aren't being oppressed, yeah, you should. Stop living in the past. The Canadians alive now never oppressed you.
To be honest your justifications sounds unbelievably petty and trivial to me. It is demeaning to other people in the world who are
really oppressed.
