No it is not a legitimate movement. Think about it. Quebec has benefited immensely from being part of Canada. We freed them from the Catholic church. We also saved them from American imperialism not once but twice. That Quebeckers are not oppressed, never have been in any way. All Canadians have been equal since day one and that includes the Pure Lines as well as other Quebec French speakers. There is a professional class of agitators in Quebec who's mission is to spread radical philosophies that misguide Quebeckers, derailing the Canadian unity. A lot of Quebeckers who don't know any better have been taken for fools by this ideology and have been radicalized to support Quebec's language patrol enforcement and even outright independence. The truth is that Quebec can't make it without Canada and would rapidly descend into third world status without our help.
Well said, couldnt agree more.. welcome to the forum.

All this proves is that in 30-40 years of life in Quebec you've only managed to acquire a massive misread of history and society.
Working in an almost entirely francohone company with 300 francophones for 32 years and although coming from the USA i may not have all the Quebec historical issues down pat i certainly have a good understanding of your basic working class francophone and how he thinks, Canada and Anglos are not considered part of the family here in Quebec.In 32 years i never once heard a francophone say anything positive about their own country of Canada and Anglos were generally viewed as Maudit Anglaise,tete carres,les autres.In that 32 years i had to endure 2 referendums on Quebec separating from Canada,the rhetoric from most employees was mostly about how once separation was voted into being first order of business was going to be to throw out all those maudit Anglaise. That attitude is still relevant today as evidenced by the OQLFs ongoing efforts to eradicate all things English.

It's always handy and simpler for everyone to summarize things as "it's all the other guy's fault"!
