I guess all those hundreds of billions of trees that cover Quebec are also moving out of the province if ever it becomes independent!

Really? Everyone's speculation is as relevant as any one else's?

I think house prices in Quebec will sky rocket after separation. Everyone in Canada would want to move to this new Quebec nation because of better offerings - jobs, culture, education .. etc

The Rest of Canada is going to see mass migration. Those who are denied entry into Quebec will try going to the States. The rest will just die .....

Not all of them are nuts carrying a chip on their shoulder that supersedes common sense and logic. Most simply keep their mouths closed when faced with separatiste nonsense and to date they have been the majority but if a referendum were held and somehow prevailed by a slim margin; what would that silent but now disenfranchised group choose to do if their thinking is even remotely cautionary? JMHO, but I believe a significant portion would pull up stakes and get the hell out. Those remaining (while shouting good riddance) would get to watch their property values tank.


Everything points to your arguments meaning a pretty large exodus is certain to occur. To the point where property values would, as you say, "tank" - a turn of events which would require a pretty significant exodus.

Not too far off from armageddon I guess (!), or should we call it, more appropriately, arma-guidoune?
Yep, that's what I said and yep, I stand by it. The nuts running the circus will get their wish and then get to watch as the best acts quit the circus thereby driving the prices of housing into the tank.

To bad, so sad, but predictable.

Why is it so hard for Canadians to believe that liberalism died in the late 90's.Canada is moving more and more conservative.They keep voting Harper in and elected Toronto mayor that cut all programs and service.The homelessness and street beggars is high now than the 90's.

The universal heath care would never get off today.And since 90's on both the federal and conserve level privatization is rampant sense the 90's ,rooming houses and basement tents as skyrocket sense the 90's of lack of affordable housing.The heath care is nothing than what was before late 90's.Many Canadians who have money go to US hospitals.

Give it other 10 years you have tired healthcare system.The central provinces is just as conservative as Texas.

Only Quebec is more socialist. Canada is no where has liberal has thewy say it is.

I'm just trying to bring separatists back to reality. There's nothing in it for me, why would I want Quebec to suffer economically? Even if they did separate, I wouldn't want that to happen. I still, however, acknowledge the fact that separatism would destroy Quebec's economy.

Yeah. Do you know Daniel Patrick Moynihan?

(bonus points for anyone who gets the reference)

The chaos doesn't stop there. With Quebec gone ... Canadians, especially Torontonians lose all sense of patriotism and are completely disillusioned by the government.

Under the leadership of once disgraced, now fearless revolutionary, Rob Ford, Torontonians lead an army to capture parts of other provinces. They receive support (mostly weapons) from the U.S. and Quebec.

This Canadian conflict shocks the world and gets international attention 24x7.

After 6 months of conflict, under a UN directive, US and Quebec decide to step in .. mostly for humanitarian reasons. Quebec troops control most of Ontario. And the U.S. almost entirely captures B.C. and Alberta.
