Hmmmm....well, it seems to me that the aboriginals of Northern Quebec
won't be part of a separate Quebec because they don't recognize their
government. In fact, I think the same could be said for virtually many
provinces which have First Nations bands which claim independence. It
may not be likely in the near future, but watch for it. When the day
comes for Quebec to separate, you'll see it happen, guaranteed. The whole
northern part of Quebec, in that case, would become a province to use
the term loosely. But, in a more accurate sense, they (the aboriginals)
might be more inclined not to claim themselves as a province as that
implies control by the federal government, and therefore, white man.
They, like Quebec, would be a country with the dubious and awkward task of
establishing diplomatic relations not only with a separate Quebec but
every other jurisdiction in the world. The language issue is a whole
other ball of wax.
