¿Question #712?
[Deleted user]: [deleted question]

smilingra: Being of Canadian origin (my dad is Canadian), I would like to see Canada remain united. However, the Quebecois have made such a fuss about being different that I think the should become independent.
Wes Hope: yes
Ironmaus: Quebec should be independent so that Canada can drop French as an official language
waza: Yes. The more independant nations the more chance of a war (maybe even a war of independance) which means more themes to base new wargames on.
Ebon Wendigo: Dunno
Der Ubermolch: I'm so prejudiced against Canada, I shouldn't answer this
Obersturmfuhrer: It is distinct. No.
TheArchAngel: I have a feeling that if they did, they'd be screaming in less than a year for Canada takes them back
DHEK: No to both questions.
Kazin: Instead of splitting up, we should all join together to form two super nations, who can contantly be at war. The future gamers need something to base their games off of.
Shannon Ferguson: No. There are a lot of distinct "societies" in Canada, but none of them are clambering for a separate government. I wish the separtisits would give up. They only use the threat of separation to scare the rest of Canada into giving them privileges. I think the other provinces and territories in Canada should have a vote to see who wants to keep Quebec. If the separtists ever won the referendum, they would fill their draws because then they would have to leave and they wouldn't know what to do. The arrogance that the separtists have. We'll leave but use your money and armed forces. Yeah, right. Get lost and leave if you want to go! I'm sure you'll find that the real French in France treat you with a lot of respect. This topic bugs me >: (
ZiggyZambo: no opinion
MaksimSmelchak: Read the Quebecois subplots from SJG's OGRE game...
nerotora: This should be decided over a Wilderness War game.
Nekura: If the residents want to be independent, they should split off from Canada.
Dorque: Pfft. Nope.
vampywife: i think they are prety distinct and sure, let them form their own government
HappiestWookie: I'm from Quebec and the answer is NO... Canada kicks ass!
Igloo cool: There needs to be more countries that start with Q other than Qatar
BeatPosse: Canada should annex them with special cybernetic annexation hounddroids that kill anyone that says quoi.
jasta6: I think it's stupid. If they want to be French, go back to France. If they are so hot to be independent GO to WAR for freedom. That way the British Colonials in Canada can squash this silliness once and for all.
Platinum Dragon: I'm too far away to care.
Grizzley91: Silly Quebequois . . . sovereignty is for serious people.
Zambo: Their culture may be distinct, but that doesn't give them any right to break off from Canada and become independent. So no.
MK-Ultra71: Sure, but they take their share of the debt and pay Canada for all land acquired after confederation.
SenorOcho: I think every large country should be split into smaller ones. More would get done that way.
Sheylon: No, but California should once we get rid of the Governator.
AbeLincoln: no opinion. yes the culture is distinct. no they should not form their own government independent of canada.
ZombyDawg: Will they deport all the English speakers or just put them all in camps with the natives?
slapdash: george bush said sovereignininintinty once. jackass
Gecko23: Don't care, and don't know or care.
Cavedog_pdx: National self-determination and nationalism are such 19th and 20th century ideas it's time to move on.
javelin98: I think that there should be a referendum on the issue -- the people themselves must decide
Tushratta: They should form their own government independent of the planet Earth. I say give 'em Uranus.
DonO: Maybe with some really huge seismic charges and some really big barges they can just move themselves across the Atlantic and become part of France. Then perhaps everyone will be happy.
scriptorum: I think we should bomb Quebec.
kuhrusty: Dude, I'm an American. Is a Quebec a kind of car or something? If a lot of them have a sovereignty issue, the manufacturer should have to recall them, I think.
Lord_Prussian: I think it's all to French to comprehend.
ssmooth: I don't know enough about it to say.
StormKnight: Do they get more VPs as a seperate nation or united?
meshuggener: As a non-Canadian, it's pretty difficult to really care.
wildcatterry17: i'm not canadian or middle eastern or jamaican...so i have no clear answer
familygaming: I think the Quebecer culture is quite distinct, but that does not necessitate independence -- just ask the Welsh or the Basques. However, I do understand their argument that maintaining their distinctive cultures would be made easier with sovereign states. But that requires the rather large price of separation.
Claytonius Maximus: I'm not sure about the answer to your question, but do the French Canadians love Jerry Lewis as much as the European Frenchies? Cause I'd really like to know, and it could actually shed some light on this whole sovreignity issue. Oh, and where do Bob & Doug McKenzie stand on the issue--I'd probably side with them (as arbiters of everything Canadian).
Belash: the main problem is that they want to be sovereign in culture, but not economics. If they would leave and leave without strings attached I would be in favour, as much as I love the multicultural aspect of Canada. Sadly, they ask for too many extras to actually call themselves sovereign. Oh, and their culture is distinct...
BaSL: sure
Admiral Fisher: They should get over it. The world is too small as it is.
phoeniix: Thats right ... be like the South as it was in ACW
ThatFalafelGirl: meh. Why not?
2amp: not my business, ergo, i don't get involved
snoozefest: isn't Canada the northern most state of the US?
hooded_paladin: No idear
heli: wouldn't know, but even if a culture is distinct, it doesn't necessarily follow that it needs its own government
puffinge: Let's just play a game.
UhhhClem: Yes, let's see what happens when everyone who lives in Hull and commutes to Ottawa loses their job because they're citizens of a foreign country.
wcordewiner: No political questions on BGG please
fizzix: The real question is whether there are enough Canadians living in Florida to make Florida part of Quebec.
Lemur: No - so...you'd have to show a passport to go from Hamilton to "Quebec" to Halifax?
AlorielLelyn: I would say it's distinct, but so is Scotland's, and they haven't seceeded from Britain...
[Deleted user]: Who Cares?
rochs77: Let them leave. I don't know why anyone
shippert: I think multiculturalism is a good thing. Canada just wouldn't be Canada without the Quebecois.
GuyHill: make up your own mind please
fsumarc: better ask a Canadian. I'm just a stupid American...
Blackwind: I think the US should march up there and liberate Quebec from Canada and they could join the US!! Muhahaha!
TiNYTimIDFluffYBunnY: stand united against the united to the south
shumyum: All I know is that there are distinct cultures within the city of Toronto and Montreal. That shouldn't have anything to do with it.
gnomehome: Error 404
chaddyboy_2000: Ummm, ok.
djlg: Whatever they want.
BobDodgerBlue: No, and no
Vince Londini: No doubt the culture is distinct, but I'm partial to retaining the confederation
dietevil: I could care less, actually.
jim.brooks10: Who cares about Canada?
kennyb: dont care if they are distinct or not....but if they left the rest of Canada wouldnt have to listen to their constant threatening to separate
Ludocrazy: What's wrong with keeping their cultural distinctiveness and still being part of Canada?
ejmowrer: I think all the frenchies aught to be shipped back to France, then the territory should be split between Canada and the US.
CDRodeffer: It will go nowhere because neither side would be willing to fight for independence / maintenance.
Shakar: There is no doubt that Quebec is a distinct society. I used to be pro-independent, but now less and less. I like the idea of a free Quebec, but I like more the idea of a Canada in which multiple distinct societies (Natives, French, English, Immigrants) lives in harmony.
ValJor: I'm Canadian, I love Canada and I hope the country will stay together. The separatists are either misguided or have bad intentions.
Pseudo Nymh: I am not informed enough to give a reasonable answer to that question. That said, yes, absolutely.
Flyspeck23: Don't know, and no, they shouldn't (although it'd be pretty much Zeitgeist).
MisterCranky: They should do that whole 30 foot high wall thing, where the next guy asks the genie to fill it with water. That joke always makes me laugh.
DrVital: There's nothing quite like Balkanization to help with world peace.
jttm: Yes
tragicpoet: If the population is in favor of an independant province, then yes.
skelebone: Probably. Quebec is like France, Jr.
Jim_P: Not sure... but it would make one hell of a game.
CortexBomb: I think Quebec is a distinct society, but I'm still on the fence about whether or not they should form their own independent government, the federal government has already given the Quebecois a large amount of jurisdiction over their own affairs, and with the increasingly localised control of affairs in Canada I see an independent government in Quebec as being more potential trouble than it's worth, though I would support them whole-heartedly if they ever decided to go in that direction
