Quebec is naive to think that they could survive as a seperate nation. what they wanted was a distinct and seperate society with continued support, financially speaking, by the greater canadian government. basically, they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. there is simply not enough industry in quebec to sustain their economy if they were to have independance.
I'm thinking this part of the thread should go into chit-chat. it's an incredibly interesting and fun topic but i'm thinking it's straying from the original post. i'll open a thread over there if you wanna come join me.
and lil_g, thanks for the clarification. i feel better now  .
