Quebec. I remeber the referendum I remember how ticked I was at this french speaking province, whop has been bolstered up finacnailly for years, who take a give very little back, who sing the same sad song about independance and the country of Quebec.

But I also realized that Quebec is not a country and it never has been. Canada has never existed without Quebec in it, and so there is no Canada without Quebec in it.

So AJ here's a thought, if it isn't about language, or ethnicity, or any of those things, then what is it about?

Is it worth more than this-

In all of the world. In all of history. There has never been a country that has made itself out as divergent a population as this one, while still allowing the culture, the history and the tradition of those who make it up to remain as it does in Canada.

TO seperate shows the world that with all of the riches we possess that we cannot live together, under a single government in peace. We demonstrate that human beings of differnet backgrounds can not live together under a unified system of government.

When we stay together, when we work it out as single country we demonstrate to the world, to people everywhere that it can work. That differences in culture, that regionalism can be subsumed into the greater good.

We stand as a beacon that differences in background and language do not preclude membership in a mutual family.

To seperate is to give into the bases of instrincts, to give up on that quiet hope.

It is the action of a lesser country, of a lesser people than we are.
