Except that if Quebec votes to separate they're not a sovereign nation at that point, the boundries and outlines must be decided in consultation and negotiation with the ROC.
On top of that there are some interesting thoughts. Quebec keeps saying that they'll use our currency. Won't that basically make them a vassal state as their monetary policy will be decided by another country without their feedback.
As well there are 80 trade agreements that Quebec is part of, if they leave Canada they lose membership in all of them and would have to re-apply, these would be blocked by Canada.
I just don't see how Quebec would become anything but a fourth world nation right now.
I was reading right now that Quebec's Debt to GDP ratio is at 49% which is pretty disgusting, if they choose to separate and were forced to take a buy out share of the national debt, that would jump to 90% based on an article I read, That would put them in a poor position to borrow money going forward.
