Reply #: You have it backwards

[Frederic Bastiat]

people in Quebec who voted "oui" thought they would still be Canadian citizens...

The referendum issue was whether Québec as a province should separate. The people that wanted to be a part of Canada voted "NON", the separatists voted "OUI".

Of course it's a distinct society!....That is accepted as a fact

Which is why they refer to themselves as québécois or Quebeckers, it has nothing to do with the whole Federalist/Separatist brouhaha

bully for you but that does not mean that you especially understand Quebec OR Canada!!!!!

I rarely give opinions on Canada as a whole and i've only travelled Ontario, PEI, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick as far as provinces go, that said I know a lot more about Québec and her people than most Canadians I have met - its not arrogance, its a fact. I live here, I work here, I interact with the people of Québec and Montréal on a daily basis, what more understanding do you want?
