Default Re: Ask me about being a Québec separatist

[ QUOTE ]

1) What gives any province the right to declare itself
independent?

[/ QUOTE ]
The will of its people.

[ QUOTE ]

2) What about the Cree Nation living in Quebec who certainly predate all Canadians? Would you plan on displacing them? Or just make them take French lessons?

[/ QUOTE ]I just thing it is fair to continue all programs that are to their benefits in Canada now and negociate with them as equal people to give them their own government body.

3) How do you plan on supporting yourself economically? The Bank of Canada certainly won't. What would you use for currency? If the decision is made - why would the rest of Canada support Quebec at all (economically speaking)? Would Quebec plan on taking its share of the national debt along with it?

[/ QUOTE ]We can decide to continue using the Canadian currency for a time and then decide if it would be a good thing to introduce a new one. There has been talk also about a new North-American currecy (amero), maybe it will go sometime. Why would Canada support anything at all economically? No need to. Québec would take its share of the National debt along with its share of assets of course.

4) The argument is often made that Quebec is unique. True. But so is Newfoundland, The Yukon, and virtually every other area of the country. That's what makes Canada so great. What makes Quebec so special that it deserves status as its own nation?

[/ QUOTE ]French culture. I don't know why a lot of people cannot aknowledge that fact.
