@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
This isn't an important issue.
@9ZRQ8ZP1wk1W
Sure, if they take their share of debt, as well as cut all economic and military support from Canada. If they want independence, then be independent.
@cora4wks4W
Yes, as long as they take their share of debt and it is voted on by both the citizens of Quebec and the rest of Canada
@9WYDMSD1mo1MO
Yes, so long as they take 50% of the national debt, continue to pay the same taxes to the federal government for 10 years, hand over all their military equipment and surplus, half their funds for federal social programs and give us complete access in and out of quebec to keep the supply chain running from the atlantic to western canada.
@9VW59ZN2mos2MO
If the want to completely separate and take their share of the debt with them, good bye. They’ve been threatening to leave for decades. They’re just spoiled and entitled.
@9TYSP552mos2MO
No and if they seperate they should only get what we origanlly gave them a small strip along the st lawrence river.
@9NW5MPL6mos6MO
Let them go They complain much Pull out federal property such as military hardware and day good bye
@8TYN53SLibertarian3yrs3Y
Let Quebec go away who cares about that mistake of a province full of French communists.
@9RGCB9P4mos4MO
I believe it should be left to the citizens of Quebec to decide, but that we should not provide any supports to them should they become a sovereign state
@9QVHJ3B5mos5MO
Quebec will never be the same without Canada and vice-versa. We need to work on equality between French and English Canadians.
@9KTFCM79mos9MO
Let the citizens of Quebec vote on it. It would be an astoundingly stupid move on their part, though.
@9JZV4G6Conservative10mos10MO
Goodbye! Take your debt with you, AND remember that removes your access to our military and you lose a huge chunk of your land.
@9JWWFBK10mos10MO
Quebec citizens should make that decision, however the terms of separation should be clear beforehand so they are making an informed decision.
@9JVT3WT10mos10MO
yes, if they are willing to take their debt, give up their equalization payments, and Canadian Passports
@9JQ8T5J10mos10MO
No, but in the case of a referendum, any Yes victory must require at least a 2/3 supermajority, with invalid ballots also included in the count.
@9HHPQFY12mos12MO
Yes, but have the common agreement that if the U.S.A. attacks Quebec Canada will help defend it. And that if you are a Canadian citizen you wouldn't need the check at the boarder
Yes, but it has to be voted on and confirmed that Quebec gan grow and survive long-term. They also have to be willing to take on their own debt.
@9FXZGWT1yr1Y
If Quebec democratically decides it, however Canada should then no longer provide them economic or military support beyond what they would other allied nation, as well as all debt from the Quebec provincial government being transferred to the free Quebec.
@9DT49RP1yr1Y
no, because it would set a blockade on the Atlantic provinces
@9DVZ2NF1yr1Y
No, but it could be granted more autonomy from the government and country.
@9DRYGB6 1yr1Y
No, because it sets a blockade to the Atlantic provinces.
@9DJYWKP1yr1Y
No, but if the people of Quebec voted for sovereignty under the terms of the Clarity Act, then their right to self-determine must be recognized.
@97JL3NK2yrs2Y
Increase relations with Quebec and focus on issues they want to solve
Land back - indigenous sovereignty first
@966TZJF2yrs2Y
@92G9SFN3yrs3Y
Use military force to neutralize the people who want a different nation.
No, as Quebecois people have been considered a nation within Canada, and their rights are protected by the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
@8ZT5SNW3yrs3Y
No, it would actually harm many French communities
@8ZR6F7T3yrs3Y
They should have to vote with 51% agreeing to leave Canada. They would have to pay for their share of the debt, pay for any buildings or land currently owned by the federal government, and pay market costs for the houses of anyone who wishes to move (or first and last month rent and moving expenses of anyone wishing to leave, before separation. They would also have to implement their own currency.
@8ZPB5Y43yrs3Y
Not properly informed on topic
@8Z85DBV3yrs3Y
They should not have a political party at the federal level.
@8YL8VP23yrs3Y
Let them have it, until the indigenous reclaim it
@8XMLGT43yrs3Y
Let Canadians vote on the issue as we will all be affected
No, this is seditious and to enact upon it in Parliament would be an act of treason
@8XGDB2Z3yrs3Y
No, they are part of the union, and should pay their own taxes.
@8WZT74J3yrs3Y
As long as they take their share of the debt and have no economic or military ties to Canada
@8WNNXKW3yrs3Y
Québec should seek as much autonomy as possible, but remain a part of Canada
@8W4BGQ5New Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes! Get rid of Quebec and remove French as our second language. Also remove all economic and military ties with them and make them pay for their share of debt!
@8VWGHCQ3yrs3Y
No, it would cause problems for people travelling between Atlantic Canada and the Mainland
@8VW29Z53yrs3Y
No, diversity is a strength, not a problem.
@8VTCRZC3yrs3Y
It won’t solve their problems and would make things more difficult for them. If they leave, they should not get any benefits to being in close proximity to this country. If they leave, they will make things harder for the East coast which isn’t good (since they thrive on tourism and that would likely make tourism harder) I don’t think it’s necessary for them and instead they should try to enjoy being apart of Canada and lessen their focus on leaving
@8VT966B3yrs3Y
yes but they run as their own country with zero funding/aid and take their share of debt
@8VDFY383yrs3Y
Yes as long as they take their share of the debt and sever all economic and military support from Canada plus repay the billions in equalization payments provided to keep them afloat.
@8V6CPT23yrs3Y
The question of Quebec independence should be voted on by Quebecers and by the rest of Canada, as it will affect the entire country. A two-third majority should be required for a vote to pass.
@8V5WF4K3yrs3Y
If they take on their share of the national debt, and relinquish all military & economic support, yes. Let them become their own country IF they are willing to handle all that entails.
@8V4VSKM3yrs3Y
Let the citizens of Quebec vote on it, and if yes then they take on their share of debt
@8V445HF3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they cut all economic and military support from Canada, but then take them over through military force and abolish all of their french rights they used to have and reclaim the land for Canada
@Canadian13yrs3Y
Absolutely NOT. Quebec is a part of Canada, period. No political party should exist that is attempting to sever it from Canada. This is ridiculous really, seeing as our elections are for Canada as a nation. They need to accept that they are forever Canadian. (I was born there btw)
@8TVBXKH3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with vast majority voting in favour, and with the cutting of all economic, military, health care support, etc
Build a 20’ high wall around Quebec and flood it with raw sewage
@8TTCLGB3yrs3Y
if seperatists want to leave let them, if not we should fight them for qubec, and stop putting up with this. and they simply cannot have a federal seperation party.
@8TN4GLW3yrs3Y
Let Quebec’s government decide on it
Yes as long as they take their share of Canada’s debt as-well as cut all economic and military support from Canada and become truly independent
@8THPNYY3yrs3Y
As long as other provinces have the option as well
@8TBKBH43yrs3Y
No, the only sovereign nation are the aboriginal period.
@8S69HSH4yrs4Y
Yes, only as long the rest of Canadians have a vote on the decision
@8S283584yrs4Y
Quebec does nothing for the rest of Canada, let them leave and take all their debt but they don't get ANY support from Canada
@8K276B54yrs4Y
As long as we get maple syrup and French girls
@8K222LS4yrs4Y
no Quebec should stay with Canada having sovereignty could cause more problems for Canada and Quebec
@8JDRVHP4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they take their own debt and are cut from all economic and military support and pay out to Canada a yearly fee to pay back what the rest of Canada has paid into Quebec infrastructure. Most Quebecers do not concider themselves Canadians and we support them monetarily. Does the rest of Canada really need Quebec to survive?
@8GRFR6X4yrs4Y
Ya know.. if Quebec wants to be on their own, so be it. However I don't believe that Canada should then be responsible for providing any kind of support
@8F52GC7New Democratic4yrs4Y
As long as we still get maple syrup and hockey players
@8C7WDJK4yrs4Y
Quebec is dumb Canadians don’t want them
@8C7MQY54yrs4Y
No, but grant Quebec special status in the constitution by renegotiating the Meech Lake Accords.
@8C5KS8Q4yrs4Y
yes, as long as they take their share of debt AND cut all economic and military support from Canada
No. Quebec has used the threat of secession as a means to bully the rest of the country and should be required to engage on an equal field.
@98M347G2yrs2Y
If they want to leave or stay, then it's none of my business.
@988GXLK2yrs2Y
No, synthesise both French and English peoples of Canada into one nationality
@98647882yrs2Y
Yes, but all economic, military, infrastructural, energy, land ownership, and anything else belonging to Canada stays Canadian. And major cities like Montreal, should be able to separate from Quebec if desired.
@98554TR2yrs2Y
Yes if they vote on it and all transfer payments from the west be stopped.
@97BRZXP2yrs2Y
last i checked legally their is no mechanism in the canadian constitution for separation, but if they must have it high turn out (80-90%) election with over 60% voting yes and no questions asked. otherwise the complaint of separatists always leaves out other french canadian communities of canada ignoring them in a self centered bid for power and relevance
@8V4CPKH3yrs3Y
No, the Maritimes would not survive
@8TWDTHBConservative3yrs3Y
No, but this is a complex matter. Asymmetric Federalism is the better option, but it should also be extended to other jurisdictions like Western Canada.
@937ZKJ53yrs3Y
Yes. Pay their debt first and then they are cut off completely from us. No aid No anything from us.
@936KWVL3yrs3Y
Only if Alberta is allowed its sovereignty as well
They can have their sovereignty so long as Alberta can have theirs as well
@8V3CSNR3yrs3Y
Yes but take their portion of the debt and cut all ties.
@8TZ48GP3yrs3Y
Quebec is in the middle of multiple provinces and therefor they technically can not be their own country or leave Canada properly.
I am for the dissolution of the state but First Nations land back should be a prerequisite of Quebec departing Canada.
@9LCPZKN8mos8MO
**** tous ceux qui dise non
@9CQJF7L1yr1Y
Yes, only if they separate.
@9CGBPXC1yr1Y
Let them be sovereign, however they must be removed from all economic, military and other support from Canada, as well as reconciling their amount of debt owed to all other provinces and territories.
@9CD6GVV1yr1Y
I don't think they should seperate but if they do they get to take their share of debt and don't get our military
@9BJ887SNew Democratic2yrs2Y
No, but do allow more freedom to express their culture and establish individuality from the predominantly English sections of Canada.
@99SCJW82yrs2Y
The citizens of Quebec should vote on it and take their share of the debt.
@8VBS9WB3yrs3Y
If they don't want to be Canadian then leave the country
@8VBS2FBConservative3yrs3Y
No. If they don't like Canada they should leave
@Tbird704New Democratic3yrs3Y
No, independence will destabilize the nation and divide our nation’s people for generations
@8GC264J4yrs4Y
i say remove Quebec from canada.
@M65KVS4yrs4Y
No, quit treating them as a guest of Canada or a special group like the Indians if you live in Canada be a Canadian and pull your weight.
@MH2YGL4yrs4Y
Yes so long as those parts of Quebec which so choose can elect to stay in Canada.
@MD7C494yrs4Y
sovereignity association needs clarification and the terms should be arrived at through negotiation with both federal and provincial governments
@M3QM4Z4yrs4Y
Let them go...see how long they last.
@M5D82S4yrs4Y
Yes. But they will take their share of the federal debt, all of their provincial debt, and they cannot use the Canadian dollar as their currency.
@MFM5TD4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they in turn allow "Canadian" separatists to separate a territory from Quebec and rejoin Canada. Fair is fair.
@MF8YGX4yrs4Y
No, if they want to be separate then they should leave Canada.
@M4WY4R4yrs4Y
Yes but not with all the land. Also we should ensure the country is still connected by land from coast to coast (keep land that borders USA)
@M49LV84yrs4Y
They should be given sovereignty but they take their proportionate share of the debt and be forced to have their own currency, passports and international borders
