    I’m gonna get downvoted to hell. But it’s too funny to me…

    I remember when Quebec tried to cedced and failed miserably. Really miserably. Why would we care about them getting angsty now, when they have demonstrably shown multiple times that they don’t have any real power and online votes don’t matter?

      Two referendums, one at 40.44% in favor (1980) the other at 49.42% in favor (1995), looks like you don’t remember anything.

      That second one was full of irregularities including illegal spendings by the no side and citizenship being given to masses of people much more quickly than the usual process.

      Quebec has shown multiple times that it can flip an election, has disproportionate representation in the Parliament and has forced the federal government to respect its powers and to adopt bills that end up being good for all other provinces.

      You’re not remembering, you’re confabulating.
