Quebec Referendum

The next referendum should not be held by the province of Quebec, but rather by all the other provinces in Canada to keep Quebec in Canada or to allow them to remove themselves.  I’ve travelled the world and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Canada is the most accepting of other cultures, life style choices and doesn’t try to impose its own ideals on people.  Then there is the Bloc Quebecois party, who is going against most Canadian values of being accepting of other people’s faiths, understanding of their origins, etc.  The part sole purpose is to separate Quebec from Canada and is interested in nothing more than that.

In the 1985 Quebec referendum, Jacque Parizeau stated they lost due to the minority vote.  He was speaking about English speaking people and people who were not born in Canada. 

I’m not a cartographer but I drew out a map of what I think Quebec would look like if it did separate.  First, I can tell you that all First Nations people are going to want to keep their land with Canada.  Most of this land was known as Rupert’s Land.  Many hydro power plants are located in these areas and hence Quebec will lose them.  Second is the National Capital Area (Outaouais) which belongs to Canada, some of it is located in Ontario and some of it located in Quebec.  This area I would guess, would become part of Canada too if Quebec left.
