Its the same kind of blackmail that Quebec always uses. We want to seperate unless you give us more money so that we can pay for social programs that no other Canadian will get and no other province can afford.
I do find it offensive that as a MP and the leader of a major party he is expousing Anti-Canadian views while representing Canada on the International Stage.
I've always pretty much wished for a Prime Minister that would look the Bloq right in the eye and lay out any conditions of seperation.
1) Any Quebec employees of the Federal Government would be deemed a security threat, terminated immediately and sent back to their country of origin.
2) Your share of the national debt is payable before we allow for seperation
3) We will demand a referendum by the native's in Northern Quebec, if they vote to stay with Canada their land will immediately become Canadian Soil
4) No shared passport
5) No shared currency
6) They bank of Canada will be happy to loan you money, but you have no credit rating so we will need some collateral, like all of your strippers.
7) All Canadian property and assets including all military hardware will be returned to Canada. All Quebec members of the Canadian Forces will be discharged, if they serve with the Quebec forces they will lose their pensions.
8) The Quebec Hydro Deal will be renogotiated based on your status as a new country. If you don't like that we can just cut the lines
9) There will be no free travel, Canada Customs will now treat Quebec as a seperate nation
10) There will be a environmental toll based on your usage of the St Lawrence.
11) Canada's primary language will become English only, thanks for the massive savings.
In otherwords, if you want to seperate sir . . . please seperate.
