Ok...he may want to peel off Quebec from Canada as Canada gets a little too right wing for him and his issues dear to heart like abortion and homosexual marriage.

Quebec is 90% Catholic.

Since folks here always claim Catholics are conservative, how does that compute?

It would seem that would be a hard sell and that folks would be begging to create a French Canada to ban the very things he wants to preserve.

but...alas....perception is rarely reality anymore

The fraction of the Quebec population that observes Catholicism is miniscule. It is one of the most anti-religious places on the planet.

I do hope they separate. BC and the western provinces have long been screwed by the dirty little secret that actually is the foundation of canada...equalization payments. Meaning, canada’s provinces has a gun to it’s head and the equalization payments were a mafia tribute as to appease Quebec in staying since confederation. I was a kid in Sask when the QC referendum unfolded in 1995.

I pissed off a lot of my HS teachers when they were bragging “we are not Americans as we belong to the UK as part of Commonwealth.” My answer was “if we are, then why is French spoken as the national language?’
