Reminds me of the Parti Quebecois back in the 1970s. After persecuting English-speakers for a while, , however, Quebec seems to have returned to the fold 40 years later. The English language doesn’t seem so bad now that everyone’s on the Internet.
Because Canada has bent over backwards to keep them in the fold, Quebec got a pretty sweet deal out of it. Most Canadians probably would be just fine with letting Quebec go.
