Anyone who thinks Quebec is a nation has no idea of the meaning of the word. FRANCE is a lot more like the United States than it is like Quebec. France, Canada, England and the US are places that have stood up as Nations and have had their citizens die for their Nationhood. Quebec has always been dependant upon others for its security and Welfare. Could Quebec survive as a Nation without the protection of Canada's Alliances Armies and Tariffs. Maybe, but her people would not accept the drop in living standards. Distinct culture, maybe, but what is that, a few comedians, a few singers who cares? Quebec has never had the courage to be a nation. She probably never will.

BTW

The condolences should have read "the people of Canada"
