What's the difference between the USA, India and Ireland? They were all members of the British empire that gained independence from it. This is all legally approved by every nation on earth. What does the fact that Quebec was once french have to do with anything? I don't think you understood my logic at all, but that's no surprise. Former french subjects had every right to remain here after the conquest because it's a clause of the Treaty of Paris of 1763 when France officially renounced to the land that was then known as New France. It's written black on white in this treaty that the french subjects who wish to stay may do so and have their rights to property and religion guaranteed by the conqueror.
Well congratulations! Isn't that the position of the federal governement that only nations who have suffered oppression at the hands of another nation have the right to Independence? The way you put it, this sounds a lot like oppression. The more you talk, the more you justify Quebec Independence.
Sorry but you're the only one on this planet not to recognize the independence of these countries. Do us all a favor: go tell them! Go to the White House and tell this to everyone you meet, they will gladly surrender to your logic. If they don't, bring a gun with you! It'll work, I promise.
It would only have postponed the inevitable. Americans and Indians could have then claimed they suffered oppression at the hands of the British, which would have been true, and have their Independence recognized by everyone.
HAHAHA This one is funny. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Even Queen Elizabeth II of the UK apologized to the Acadian people for all the harm that had been done to them at the time of the deportation. Learn your history, you live in NS you should know that!
Who is talking about tearing a country apart? Canada currently has 10 provinces while it started with only four. It can easily survive with losing only 1 out of 10. Losing Quebec doesn't mean the end of Canada, far from it. You should have more confidence in your country's potential.
