Charter of Quebec Values would ban ‘overt’ religious symbols

72. Kind of like their "language police"

I live within walking distance of the Canadian border (with Ontario).

I have never been to Quebec.

However, I have a lot of friends and relatives in Ontario who have been there.

One friend, born in the UK but in Canada since 1962, bluntly says "fuck them."

An acupuncturist my grandmother used to see in Ontario emigrated from China to Montreal, became a Canadian citizen and built a successful practice. He moved to Windsor, Ontario. I went with her once to see him and he said he did so because the language police tried to force him to practice in French. He said "it was hard enough learning one language without having another imposed on me."

Some of my extended family from Ontario came to visit in 1990, right after the whole Meech Lake thing. They said "if Quebec wants to go, just LET THEM GO! However, they need to know that they will no longer have any funding from Ottawa, they will not be Canadian citizens, they will not have free movement or employment in the rest of Canada, and they will not get any of the Canadian military hardware currently there."

I don't see them ever seceding...they couldn't make it on their own.
