    They defeated it nonetheless, and the recent trend I believe has shifted towards the No.

    Really, read some of Canada's laws on French - they're so unbelievably biased towards Quebec I can't think why anyone except the most brainwashed person could believe that Quebecois have any reason to split from Canada - and they're certainly not oppressed.

    Why spend so much time on Quebec when they can simply let it go?

    Letting Quebec go seperates Canada from the Atlantic provinces, would slice off a massive portion of the Canadian population, and force Canada to cede control over part of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Not to mention that the majority of Quebecois are against seperation and that Quebec was one of the first provinces to form the Canadian confederation. Important things, like education, are also largely the responsibility of the provinces in Canada - like Quebec.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    If Bavaria wishes to leave the Bundesrepublik, by all means.

    So Bavaria is oppressed if most Bavarians are against seperating, but a vocal minority proposes Bavarian seperation? Looking around, I can safely say that Bavaria both has an independence movement (not very strong these days, fortunately) and is also not oppressed.

    Anyways, Quebec doesn't wish to leave Canada, nor does it have any reason to.
