Gilles, Quebec gets over $400 million _more_ than it dishes out in taxes, 
through one route or another.

I don't know that it's "normal", but it's what we do in Canada.  Quebec 
receives money from the ROC, even though Quebec is not one of the "weaker 
parts" of Canada.

There is no question of bringing Quebec "back" into the Canadian bosom.  
If Quebec is not in that bosom, there is nothing further Canada can do.  
It seems certain factions in Quebec have taken each and every attempt to 
keep Quebec happy, put it in their pocket, and continued to squawk about 
"separation".  

There are three ways that disillusioned Canadians can separate from Canada:
1)  land
2)  sea
3)  air
