I would prefer to have Quebec as a part of Canada who is equal to all the other provinces, because each province and territory is itself unique. If Quebec insists on receiving more 'special' treatment in order to remain a part of Canada I would have no problem with them leaving.
The people can leave, but the land is Canada's and would cause a problem for the East as Quebec divides us from the rest. So I agree except they can all leave and move somewhere else if they don't want to be in Canada, but the land is this country's.

My uncle is from Newfoundland, and that is where I get most of my newfie jokes. He can go on for days he's got so many. Just another thing that makes them great. If the whole nation had their attitude we would all agree we are just a nation, and we'd all laugh at ourselves. Too bad we can't learn.
