Now that the referendum is over, it is time to make some changes. I believe Quebec should be recognized as a distict society. Having lived there for one year, I must say that there culture is different from that of other Canadians. However, Canadians come from many different cultural backgrounds and most of them realize how lucky they are to live in a country as wonderful as Canada. The 49% of Quebec that voted OUI obviously do not appreciate what Canada has to offer them and want even more. Ever since I was a little girl (I am now 18) I was taught to treat everyone equal. It is not possible to have equality if Quebec gets everything they are demanding. If Quebec must separate in order to realize how lucky thay are here, then maybe that's what they should do. But if the choice comes down to giving in to everything they want and sacrificing equality, or Quebec separating, I say LET THEM GO.
