I wouldn't bet the farm on it. I bet Quebec will buy land with a higher 
amount of Federal debt in negotiations.

Why do you think federal subsidies to the port of Montreal wil not be 
replaced by provincial subsidies? Halifax has no support from the federal 
govt. (the port that is) Rail and port subsidies are gone.  N.S. and 
Halifax had to pay for modifications to CNrail cars (if my memory serves me 
correctly) I don't think you can expect any more (certainly less) help from 
the federal govt.

The knee jerk reaction for 99% of companies will be to move to Toronto or 
the states.  Ontario has forced a commitment from the Maritime provinces 
that prevents us from enticing businesses away from Toronto with goodies. I 
think you will see Ontario come down hard to prevent the Maritimes from 
luring companies to the region.  Of course, we could just thumb our noses 
at them. 
I say we take the Navy and start privateering!!
