They can leave the country if they want out. Quebec wasn't taken over, occupied, nothing at Confederation. They joined willingly. This is not a repressed people whatsoever. This country is officially bilingual, every Federal sign is in both languages, Quebec is no worse treated than any other province in the country, and nearly half (or more) of Quebecers don't want to leave. This is not your average case of a part of a country wanting to seperate. Quebec is part of Canada not the other way around. Anyone in this country is free to leave, nothing is holding them here.
