Why is their opinion so important? There's a lot more to Canada than just Toronto.

Man, you sound like you could be from Western Canada <g>. Of course you're right, but they don't know it. For some reason the nabobs of political correctness in the 416 area code run the show -- partly our lack of checks and balances (the more I learn about Jefferson, the more lucky I think you guys were).

The opinion leaders in Toronto have swallowed the national unity myth hook, line and sinker. To them for the 20 years following the PQ's first election win in Quebec, appeasement was far, far more important than good government. Mercifully that seems to be starting to change.

Lots of people have thought about your solution to separatism -- it's been suggested many times over cheap beer at the Legion. Quebec separatists were very clever in this regard. They consciously set out to be the abcessed tooth of the Canadian body politic. They've succeeded in being so annoying that quite a lot of people just want to see their whiney asses go. Personally I wouldn't allow my son to shed one drop of his precious blood to keep them in.
