1) Do you realize that Quebec is not economically viable by itself*?
(If Alberta wants to go it alone thy got a shot, everyone else would be in a *substantially* worse position than they were before).

That claim is just riduculous. Why would Quebec be less of a viable country than, say, Sweden, Finland or Switzerland?
[/ QUOTE ]
No it really isn't. Size of a country isn't indicative of strength of economy. Do the research.

I don't think so at all. The thing is as french folks began to educate themselves more and starting business more and making things more in french, big businesses having always been run by anglophones bosses with french workers, did not accept that and just went away. I claim that businesses that go away because of political reasons are just english people frustrated to lose their power.

Your not addressing the key issue here, the issue of big businesses that want to set up a factory/office/... in Canada. They used to often come to Quebec, now they avoid it like the plague.

Population change with time and people who voted the last time are not there anymore and new ones will vote. I don't think democracy can decide one thing at one time and settles on it for eternity.

But if the separatists did win the next referendum wouldn't your side argue that this the final word? You wouldn't expect a 'join Canada or not' referendum to follow, would you?
