Things evolve and change over time, i know Quebec is not quite like that, but there has been murders and bombings....

But just for the sake of discussion; what do you think Quebec might look like if the separate and we cut them off. Things always have the potential to get nasty.

At further expense to the canadian taxpayer. They have milked this for all its worth, if they finally split off, good riddance, they can deal with their own problems. A complete cutting of ties, no assistance, no aid, no friendly relations.
Why do you insist so deeply on vindictive behavior if the map of Canada changes? Why do you think it would be impossible, or wrong, to help them on their marry, create an equal partnership over time? Isn't it that sort of animosity that creates ancient hatreds? And for what? Nationalism? What a charade!

Taxes are spent on much worse things after all.
