The Quebec separatist movement seems to be gaining traction again because of the provincial election in Quebec. If the Parti Quebecois wins the election and gets to force an independence referendum, an independent Quebec is a distinct possibility. Frankly, I think it's about time Canada let Quebec go its own way. That way, the rest of Canada (well with the exception of New Brunswick which also has a sizable Francophone population) won't have to put up bilingual signs in both French and English. That way, Canada can be true to its heritage as an ANGLOPHONE (English-speaking) British Commonwealth dominion like Australia and NZ. (Just my opinion, as a Fil-Canadian) Furthermore, if Quebec becomes independent, part of the money used from the Alberta oil wealth won't be sent to Quebec for their Federal equalization payments anymore. If Quebec leaves, perhaps they'll get 12 of Canada's 60+ remaining F18s, one of the 3 infantry regiments, the bases at CFB Valcartier and CFB Bagotville, and the 2 French-speaking crewed frigates, HMCS Ville de Quebec and HMCS Montreal. Anyways, here's an article that includes a key challenge that the pro-independence activists in Quebec will face: Andy Radia Column of Yahoo News

Some nitwits just won't give up even after Marois and the PQ lost the Quebec provincial election last year. Reuters
