Re: Ask me about being a Québec separatist

The biggest benefit for me is the fact that it is an affirmation to the world that there is this piece of land in North-America that id french-speaking and really different than the rest of it. For me it is mostly for cultural reasons.

OP,
Quebec received exactly half of the $11.2. B in equalization payments to the provinces last year. This equates to about $750 per man/woman/child or about $50K over one's life.
Is this "cultural affirmation" really worth $50 K?
Are you really prepared to give up this gravy train to protect a cultural identity which frankly has never been threatened?
