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?

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> 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...

I totally agree with that...
