Re: Quebec is a "nation within Canada"? WTF?

As a Habs fan I would be nearly destroyed if Quebec seperated. The problem is that it sure doesn't bode well for cultural harmony when we need to start recognizing nations within a nation. This issue bothers me more than any this country can drum up. Even as an adolescent I watched the referendum and was just livid, so angry, that we let our nation come to that. This will start it again. Harper is a dolt. We need a leader to bring our entire country together, to make us all proud to be Canadian, although we should be anyway. If the majority don't want to seperate than why is this an issue. Those who want to leave let them move to France. Quebec is part of Canada, same as Nova Scotia, Alberta, BC, NWT, and NFLD. It was one of the founding provinces and there is no debating its importance. It is as equally important as every other province, and that's a lot.
