    My mother’s family is Acadian and my Father’s family is from Newfoundland. Quebec really should secede from Canada. I would go into details but to keep it short, I honestly believe it would be beneficial for everyone. If could get immigration under control we could easily establish two very prosperous nations.

      If Quebec seceded, they would have no currency, no military, and no protection from the world’s superpowers. France thinks they’ve already deviated too far from French culture.

      There’s zero benefit to the province if they secede. They’d likely cease to be a distinct culture within 50 years.

      It would also be a loss to Canada, especially the francophone parts outside Quebec, but also everywhere else. Quebec keeps the country balanced.

        It also geographically connects Acadia and Newfoundland to the rest of Canada, wildly weakening Atlantic Canada’s ties to government and the rest of the country, and completely torpedoing east/west trade.
