Civil Wars

[AChimp]

Canada has quite a few separatists who want Quebec to become a separate country so they can sit around and feel special about themselves. Anytime anything comes up for a major debate, Quebec always wants to have a special influence on the outcome because of their "culture."

What's funny is that whenever they're asked how a separate Quebec would operate as a nation, they can never give a straight answer. They'd still want to use all the Canadian government services (our money, postal service, etc) but they wouldn't be paying any taxes to us to operate them. Then comes the actual Quebec borders; Natives form a large majority of the population in northern Quebec, so if Quebec separates, they'd lose all their federal treaty rights... obviously, they're not in favour of that, so they've basically stated that they're not going anywhere. I remember reading something about how we'd have to go back to the 1800's to determine what Quebec's borders really were before the treaties were all signed, and Quebec's "nation" would amount to the area immediately surrounding Quebec City and Montreal (a few thousand square miles along the St. Lawrence River).

Personally, I blame the British for not kicking the French out after they beat them.
