1. Quebec's independence streak has led to a burgeoning western independence movement.
Canada has essentially chosen Quebec over the good hard-working Canadians in western provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan. These are people who do what they are supposed to do, and who have been intensely loyal to Canada, but have been spit on in return. Despite having a similar population as Quebec , Alberta and Saskatchewan combined have significantly less political power than Quebec. The message being sent is that 1 Quebecois is more equal than 1 Albertan.
2. Quebec engineered the mass exodus of people who are ethnically outsiders
I am a "Quebuckugee" myself, after being forced out of my traditional home near Montreal due to draconian racist policies by the Quebec government. Anything English is banned, and many folks in Quebec are gleeful about the exodus of English-speakers from the province with nowhere to go. As if that wasn't good enough, now the Quebecois have turned to targeting other minorities with bans on their cultural symbols and other policies that say "get out".
3. At least 33-40% of Quebecois support independence ALWAYS. No matter what is going on in Canada. There is always a strong independence movement and a strong disdain for Canada and all that has been done for these people. Nearly 2/3 of Quebec's population is ashamed to be Canadian, and if we look at French Quebecois that percentage is much higher. The people in Quebec who are "against independence" still want Quebec to operate like an independent country, and couldn't care less about the laws of Canada.
Nutshell: Quebec has undermined Canadian political stability and the economy. The people in the western provinces have suffered dearly for it, and Quebec couldn't care less. Why are we choosing foreign separatists over good Canadians in the west? This is wrong, and we need to re-evaluate what we're doing.

We couldn't care less what goes on in Alberta or any other quasi-American province.
It's up to them to figure out things for themselves.
We are acting legally and exercising our rights defined by the Canadian federal government.
When independence is the most viable option we will take it, but for now we have a pretty good thing going in Canada. We have made great strides over the last several decades.
That being said, there is still more to be achieved and I feel that we are headed in the right direction.
Funny how people do not realize how prejudiced they are and continue to believe they are paragons of tolerant virtue.
Can you refute anything I said, or are you just going to insult me? It is an undeniable fact that there is always a huge independence movement in Canada.
It is also a fact that Quebec's actions have greatly impacted the economy of western Canada.
Third, it is a fact that Quebec has enacted strong support for a variety of racist laws targeting minority groups. This is what Quebec is about, and only shows signs of going further in this direction. Can you refute these, Acajack?

This is exactly the typical attitude I'm talking about. Bravo.
