An independent Quebec would be a dull place indeed without Canada to kick around anymore.
Quebec/Canada union?

The latest poll shows that a majority of English-speaking Canadians say it’s time for Quebec to go.
In the unlikely event that Quebec opted for independence, we’d have to work out a European-Union style deal. And because of our history and geography, a Canada/Quebec union would make more sense than the EU. Canada is often viewed by outsiders as a dull country. It isn’t, of course. But it would be somewhat dull without the shenanigans of the PQ and the Bloc.
On the other hand, an independent Quebec would be a dull place indeed without Canada to kick around anymore.
