And why would Québec's current economy wouldn't be ebough. Why the patronizing?

Quebec can't support itself now. It requires transfer payments from the Federal Government. Why would it be any different after separation? Especially when you consider all the NEW costs that would be incurred.

1) Many un-educated separatists still believe that Quebec contributes more to Canada than it receives in return. This myth allows them to believe that they'd be better off without Canada.
2) Some hard-core separatists (such as the OP), know that Canada has been propping up the province of Quebec for decades, but they do not care. They'd happily live in shacks eating dollar-store poutine if it means having their own country.
3) Some seperatists believe that if they seperate, things won't be as good at first, but they'll quickly rebound and be better than ever after a few years. What they're basing this on is anybody's guess.
