P> We let's look at this in a true sense, if Quebec decided to leave P> you know Canada won't give up the St.Lawrence corridor. We all ready P> have the south shore and I am sure we would get the North, even so P> wouldn't really matter cuz we have the south shore. So that will settl P> any shipping problems.
I may be really naive, but how do you mean they have the South shore, is there a piece of land in there that doesn't not belong to Quebec? Who does it belong to?
P> Regarding timber and Minerals. Well what Quebec actually would get in P> land is not alot. None of the native land would go, so then we would P> be left with what Quebec was before they were given more land at P> the turn of the century.
Yeh, but that land wouldn't be given back to the natives with out a fight, it would be just like all these other hassles with Ipperwash, Oka etc,... the land is in Quebec...
P> think of the value that a house would jump, with almost 50% of the P> people wanting to leave, where will they go? Ontario. P> What will happen to our employment record. I believe it will be far P> better. All of the gov't jobs will leave the province, much small P> business will leave and large. Military will be moved. P> We won't be sending federal funds to Quebec.
But with the increased emmigration from Quebec, there will likely be less jobs in the long run...
P> There are a lot of people on U.I.C, and welfare in this province P> also. Grant you we would probably get alot of them also. P> The down side is, I think it shouldn't be left to the people in P> a particular province to decide. We are Canadians we have the P> right to live in any province. They belong to us all collectively. P> So if a vote is to be held the entire country should be involved.
I totally agree with that...
