      It’s not at all an attack against Quebec, nor even a compliment really. It’s a statement of just how badly the US and Trump have royally messed up that they could get us all to put aside a long-standing disagreement in order to come together in this fight for our country… for all our sakes. I’m really sorry you feel the way you do, and really glad not all Quebecers feel the way you do… cause reading your comment was very disheartening.

      As a Canadian with half their family on either side of the Ontario/Quebec border, this shit has always pissed me off. All this animosity toward Quebec is not only ignorant, but also a driving force behind the separatist movement. The votes failed folks, that means Quebec is very much Canada and wants to stay that way. Accept that and pratice some fucking empathy with your countrymen instead of encouraging civil unrest.

      “Failed miserably”…
      It was like a 1% difference and the “no” side spent so much more than was legally allowed

      Two referendums, one at 40.44% in favor (1980) the other at 49.42% in favor (1995), looks like you don’t remember anything.

      That second one was full of irregularities including illegal spendings by the no side and citizenship being given to masses of people much more quickly than the usual process.

      Quebec has shown multiple times that it can flip an election, has disproportionate representation in the Parliament and has forced the federal government to respect its powers and to adopt bills that end up being good for all other provinces.
