It seems very obvious to me the leaders of Quebec (leaders of the Quebecious it seems) are sowing the seeds for eventual separation. They will do anything to be successful, even if it takes 60 years to do it. They want power over immagration so they can lower the percentage of federalists. They want these immagrants in French schools where they can teach them how to be a good Quebecer and how to become a nationalist. It's happening right under our noses. That is why on the one hand they wanted a guarantee of 25% of the house seats when they know their share of the nations population will go down due to not allowing many immigrants in. This because they have have to allow the low Francaphone birth rate to increase the Francophone percentage so they can win a vote on independance. This is why a 2/3 majority should be needed to split from Canada. They should take the Immagrants that want to move there and they should go to the schools they want. This is Canada, if we don't take it back these bastards will break it up. If it was up to me I would renage on the immigration deal Ottawa made and just say you are using it to further the cause of separatists so the deal is off, and then I'd plow 60,000 into Quebec next year and tell them they can go to an english school if they like. I used to try and be generous with what I would "give" Quebec to stay. But now I just think separatist are greedy racists and an embarassment.
