I think with separation the nation would be quite divided as to how to negotiate the terms. Because of the large amount of trade between Ontario and Quebec, Ontario would be quite easy on Quebec, whereas the West would be probably tend to bargain much harder.

Also, with regard to currency, I would think Quebec would be more inclined to use the US dollar as their currency.

However, the older I get, the more I would hate to lose the uniqueness of Quebec culture, as I feel it is a very important and integral part of who we are as a nation.
