Quote from Gabfly1:
You may recall that the PQ was doing everything to shroud the issue rather than shining a light on it. They were talking sugar cookies and "sovereignty association" rather than simple separation, which is what they were all about. They were feeding on the stupidity of their base much as the Tea Party is feeding on its own. Oh, and remember when Jacques Parizeau commented on the referendum results being skewed by the Anglophones and Allophones (immigrants) at the expense of the "pur laine" voters. "Pure wool." The "real" Quebecers. The French ones and not the English or the immigrants. With a comment like that, just imagine how they would fare under separation.
I'm still waiting to see how it will play out for some of the American states who jabbered about cessation.
