Canada’s history can be divided into two parts, The French and The English experience, two vastly different experiences resulting in two vastly different cultures.

Quebec has it’s own identity from their history, society, language, music, politics completely alien to the rest of Canada.

Think about it like this, would Canada be willing to join the USA? They infact are the economic and cultural powerhouse. Even though English speaking Canada is culturally closer to the USA than Quebec most Canadians would give a resounding no. How would the people of Quebec feel if they’re part of a country that is completely alien to their culture?

Unfortunately English speaking Canada no longer has a unique cultural identity that can distinguish themselves from the USA, Quebec on the other hand has able to resist foreign cultural influence and maintain it’s cultural identity unique to North America.

A common misconception is that Quebecous are bigoted towards English Canadians as people, Most people from Quebec are not against Canadians but against the English bias. They would just like to take the administrative aspects of Quebec into their own hands and rightfully so, I don’t want my brother changing the interior designing of my house, I love my brother but he doesn’t bloody live here eh.

Quebec certainly has it’s own problems, I’d assume they’d be more effective in fixing it if given the administrative rights to do so. I don’t want to get into the politics of the provinces that’s for another time.

Canada and Quebec are two different people with different values and cultural backgrounds for better or for worse.

I completely understand my logic is not directly related with your question but this idea will help you to find why rest of the Canada are not same. Due to race, culture, norms and even language as well as Financial contribution are making more distance.

I agree with Mr. Salamun Rashidin.

I would add, however, that the whole world would benefit from seeing Quebeckers obtain not only their administrative autonomy, but also their legislative, judicial and executive autonomy.

I invite you to read the articles I recently wrote about this subject.

Martine Labossiere RE: "the whole world would benefit from seeing Quebeckers obtain not only their administrative autonomy, but also their legislative, judicial and executive autonomy."

Perhaps the indigenous people of Quebec might be a bit less sanguine about that prospect....
