i never said it was a good idea for them to separate...i'm quite on the other side...but you have to realize that quebec is not the only province with french speaking people in it...the second language majority would still be French without quebec...and yes i think your right that quebec can't just get up and leave without being responsible for there share of the deficit and other responsibles...exactly why i'm on the no side...
