Well, its a done deal.

"...there would be VERY serious trouble right away between the French and the Native Canadians, who would claim huge portions of the province and would oppose rule by a Quebec national government! I'm talking about trouble that could go as far as open warfare between the Natives and the Quebec government." - Littlehawk

It remains to be seen how Native Canadians in Quebec will react. I agree with Littlehawk; when its all over, Quebec may be a very tiny nation within a nation. I would rather negotiate with the nation of Canada than the nation of Quebec when it comes to land claims and/or issues of discrimination.

This could backfire on Harper. I don't think its up to him to determine the fate of so many Native Canadians. He basically threw them away. Duceppe is a fool for taking them on.
