Bearing in mind that I know next to nothing about Québécois separatism (including whether that's even the right thing to call it), I am genuinely curious whether this is a good analogy. There is no "American Union" that Canada threatened to leave while Quebec wanted to remain a part of. Surely that's a hugely significant difference?

- dragonwriter 10y agoCanada never threatened to leave NAFTA.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoIt's a good analogy for the point edblarney is trying to make, namely that separatist politicians will grab any issue to give them a chance to make political hay, even if the issue doesn't rationally have any connection to separatism.
