Yes, there is still tension. The constitution problem is still not resolved. (The constitution was signed by the provinces without Quebec) Also, many quebecois are in favor of independence.

Some of your states might ask for independance, somewhat like the state of Quebec.

Great question! Clear and concise, which is more than what I can say for a lot of the propaganda that's on this site.\n\n1: This is probably the hardest of the 3. On one hand, this motion is really a step towards sovereignty. By recognizing that Quebec's a nation, even if in a united Canada, plants a seed of doubt into everyone's minds. However, This motion really is a compromise (which we need more of, I'm just saying) and I'm hoping that it'll get those separatists to just stop at least for a couple more decades. \n\n2: Other groups are different in some ways, but that depends on how you define "rest of us." If you mean "British Caucasians", then yes they're different. But if you mean "Canadians" then no they're not. Unlike the US, Canada is what a lot like to call a "cultural mosaic", in which many individual cultural groups help make Canada what it is. I don't support Quebec sovereignty in the first place, simply because its part of Canada whether it likes it or not\n\n3: I think Canada's still going to be stable. We're not exactly the most interesting country, but we are usually quite mellow. We'll get over it soon enough.

It's pure semantics, while Quebec is not a nation within a united Canada it is not legally a nation.  Not even legally a nation within Canada.   What this effectively accomplished was giving Quebec a fancy title and a new distinction.\n\n\nEven as such I am offended that the government would bestow a higher status on some of it's citizen than others.   Creating a division in the country will only serve to offend most Canadians while pacifying a few.  \n\nI think we should all be a little upset that out government recognizes some it it's citizens as more unique or important than other.\n\nI have nothing against french Canadians,  they are a unique culture, just as the first nations, just as some east coast communities. Canada is full of varying cultures.   \n\nI also wonder how this applies to the french Canadian communities outside of Quebec.   There are many scattered throughout Canada, should they be granted nation status as well?\nShould they secede from their current province and join Quebec?\n\nHow will this be handled within Quebec's large anglophone community.   Is their status being diminished because they are not members of the french community?  Many have ancestry dating back to the inception of Quebec and Canada.  \n\nNot to mention First Nations persons.  Will they have diminished recognition withing Quebec regardless of them being unquestionably the first inhabitants of the land.  Also with them having a drastically unique and beautiful culture, will this make it difficult for them to carry on tradition and have recognition through the "nation" of Quebec?.    Is there room to celebrate other cultures within a Franco centric Quebec?\n\nI am a little troubled by how ill though out this bill was and what little time the government gave the Canadian population for voice their opinion on such an important matter.   Today I am one annoyed Canadian.

Where I live, in the Ottawa region, the Rideau Canal (longest sketeway of the world with 7kms) is open when it has 20 cms ticknest if I am not mistaken. Therefore that would support anybody (and thousands of anybodies)

Apparently not yet.  The closest to you probably would be in Guam.  The article I've attached discusses some of the issues involved and what changes may come in the future.

I live in Ottawa, close to Québec. Despite the fact I'm French myself, I wouldn't live there. I like Ottawa better, because I get to have my French language shot (I can get books in French at the library, lots of French food around, bilingual jobs etc.) but without the politics. I like Quebec people... it's just the constant politic battle about French that got me tired. In Quebec, you HAVE to put your kids in a French school if one of the parent if French. You have to speak the language. You have to be pro-independance... OK, I exagerated a bit about the last one, but you get the picture.

Good God, NO! We'll take the sane English-speaking provinces, not the lunatic French one. Those people are insufferable and have nearly ruined Canada.\n\nI'm just trying to figure out why so many non-Quebecois want to keep those loonies as part of your country? I'd have let those deranged semi-frogs loose long ago.

You know, that's a great question and I've always been intrigued by and admired the people of Quebec for their fervor and solidarity in keeping their language and cultural identity alive in North American.  \n\nI think the last time Quebec had a vote on this was around 1995 but I don't recall the percentages of those voting for or against the referendum.  I do think it came pretty damn close to making it once in the 60's or 70's. \n\nI think the bottom line is that if Quebec did secede from Canada, the economic repercussions would be horrific not only for Quebec but for Canada as a whole because Canada would essentially be split in two and Quebec would be biting off the "hand" that feeds her.  That's not to say she couldn't make it on her own or that eventually she wouldn't thrive.  \n\nOne other question that I've never been able to figure out when it comes to this issue: if a civil war broke out in the United States as the result of a few southern states wanting to bail in the 1860's, then how could Quebec get away with becoming a sovereign nation simply by a majority of Quebecois' voting for such a separation?  \n\nBonne chance et je me souviens aussi.

Quebec is no more a nation than New Mexico is, and for the same reasons.  Moreover, it was never a nation.  The Battle of the Plain of Abraham settled that a long time ago.\n\nIt is one thing to be proud of a language and culture and to promote these things.  It is quite another to take this to extremes.

Canada is a good neighbor, but I think they have a bit of an inferiority complex. Beautiful country nice place to visit.  Relations will probably improve now that a Conservative is in office.  We had some great times during the Mulroney-Reagan years
