Canada has more problems than just the seperation of Quebec. I agree with crazybayman for the most part. Quebec actually is a powerful province within Canada, holding (roughly) 25% of the parliament seats and 24 seats in the Senate (wait...that is not power...our Senate is useless piece of crap that we need to get rid of). I think many of the english provinces have tried hard to convince Quebec to remain a province, yet it seems that Quebec is still acting as if we did little. the whole point of the Sponsorship Scandel was to "convince" Quebecers to remain Canadians. It is really foolish wanting to be a "distinct society" because you can speak another language. All languages are equal and should be treated so (don't even get me started about Bill 101, which made all buisnesses in Quebec to have french signs). BTW maxsexcity how long have Canada been giving you guys reasons to seperate? I think you really should look into Canadaian history, seeing as our country is only 138 years old.
Anyways, other problems Canada has: alienation of the West (They, along with the Seperatist Quebecers want a decentralized nation, or better yet the West wants the power to shift from Central [Ontario and Quebec] to West), Parliament and Senate seats (Again the West is not happy here), Native American status (something we need to improve), and many other constitutional points. So really Canada has much turmoil that is unsettled; it is just the majority of the world does not get to see it.
If we could just resolve these problems then Canada would be better...
One more problem...Harper...if he ever becomes PM we are all screwed...Seriously. Harper is against public medicare, and equalization. Two of the greatest things in Canada. Why were the polls for him so low for him, eventhough the Liberals just went through a scandel? Canada in general is scared at what he might do...I am scared of what he might do..
