The knife to Canada’s throat

Robert Fulford

Half a century ago, when Quebec separatism erupted, there were cynics who imagined it was an elaborate con game, a way of demanding concessions from the federal government. More money and more jurisdiction. Surely that couldn’t be true, many of us thought. Quebec probably deserved a better deal from Canada. Many Canadians tried their best to provide it. And much has changed.

Quebec’s election campaign — and what a volatile, nasty, mud-splattered affair it has been — is all but over. But the sense of impending national doom that animated the first days has passed. That’s because the threat of Quebec separatism itself, the great existential conundrum that has gripped this country these past 40 years, has once again receded. It happened rather suddenly, mid-way through the campaign, as polls showed the Parti Québécois cratering in public support as the likelihood of yet another sovereignty referendum — the third since 1980 — hit home.

So this will be the enduring message of the past four weeks, after the signs are put away and the resignations tendered: C’est fini, cette affaire. And this time, because of the blessings of demographics, age and time, it’s not likely coming back......To Read More.....

My Take - Enduring message....is that what he said....enduring message?  Here is the enduring message.  The rest of Canada is sick and tired of supporting Quebec economically and really sick of hearing them whine.  The enduring message is - the next time this comes up the rest of Canada may not worry about Quebec voting to leave Canada - the rest of Canada may vote to throw them out.  That would fix their little red socialist wagons.  And if they begged to come back....they should say no! So much for the 'value' of multiculturalism!
