  > religion, language, political ideology a reason to separate? I'd think so; those differences are why we have different nations in the first place. Otherwise we'd all be living under some global government, no? > Are you against immigrants too, since they dont align with the 3 of those characteristics? Only if they started making up their own unconstitutional laws governing their ethnic enclaves. Eg. "Chinese signs must be bigger than English signs or you go to jail!" Edit: btw there's nothing about supporting Quebecois sovereignty that makes me "against" Quebeckers. I'm not "against" the French or Italians but it wouldn't make any sense for them to be a part of Canada either.

    The difference here is that French Quebecers didn't arrive to Canada at that point. They were already there, and then Britain took control. In these cases we have 3 historical options: genocide, cultural assimilation or a bi-cultural territory. I personally think the third option is the the one creating more richness even if has a lot of friction.

      And it's only been relatively recently considered as an option. You don't have to go back far to learn that the stated objective was cultural assimilation. The situation seems to have changed for the better in the last 50-60 years. Quebec separatism didn't just sprout out of nowhere.
