 Your View: Quebecers form a nation within Canada: PM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Quebec IS different from the rest of Canada because of their french majority, but then again so is New-Brunswick being the only officially bilingual province, and so is BC with it's huge asian community.
As long as Quebec sends a separtist Government to Ottawa (whose salaries and pensions are being paid by all Canadians) the push to have Quebec separate from Canada will never die down, after all isn't that THEIR mandate.

Landry hinted that Quebec and the federal government are heading for a confrontation in April when the heads of 34 governments gather in Quebec City for the third Summit of the Americas.
Quebec decided it would rather kick in an additional contribution of its own than accept the conditions Ottawa attached: that there be bilingual signs at the tourist attraction and that the Canadian flag be displayed there.
