Having grown up in Quebec, I can honestly say that everything he said there is true. Flying a Canadian flag there is almost dangerous and they truly do believe that they're their own country (their politicians often refer to Quebec as a nation).
For the time I went to school in Quebec, the only history I learned about was Quebec history and you never learned about the transfer payments made to the province (from what I remember, anyway). I left after grade 7, and when I found out what was in the curriculum out west I was shocked with how much I'd missed.
