I want Quebec to be an independent country.

[TAIWANMAN-san]

Modern democracy has been built around the nation-state concept. In Canada there are two nations (English and French) who are not sharing the same cultural or political space. French and English media are reporting different stories and debating different issues. Most anglophones have no idea what's happening in Quebec, and most francophones in Quebec have no idea what's happening in the rest of Canada. I think both nations would be better off with their own country, with respectful international relations and agreements.

Some statistics: more than 82% of Quebecois are francophones, and 95% speak French fluently. Anglophones are only 8% of the population. More than 90% of french-speaking Canadians live in Quebec. In the rest of Canada, less than 10% speak French fluently.

Quebec never signed the Canadian constitution of 1982. Even federalist premiers Bourassa and Charest didn't sign it, because they think it's unfair and unacceptable for Quebec. Nobody knows how to fix this, so they try to avoid the subject of the constitution as much as they can.

If two nations cannot sign the same constitution, they do not belong to the same country.


Is Quebec an indenpendent country?

me thinks so

I don't think Quebec could make it without subsidies from the rest of Canada but they are free to try if that is the wish of a majority of the population.

There hasn't been a French or English "nation state" since the 1960s when mass, uncontrolled immigration from non-traditional countries began being enforced.

of course, an asian wants to separate canada. asians want us to separate without firing a rifle. partially because they are so afraid of fighting that they can't even democratize their own country as we white people did and know they couldn't beat us in battle. and, partially because they want a piece of canadian pie bigtime and are gaining it by moving here and producing huge families as the white people barely produce any and our separartion would only speed up this process. do not worry taiwanman, thanks to women's lib and their promotion of not bearing white babies, canada will be yours without firing a rifle--you cowardly cup of asian piss!!!
