Default Re: Ask me about being a Québec separatist

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?
