Except of course the elephant in the room for why that is. You know, an entire population at odds with the Canadian government for trying to do to quebec and their culture what the American government successfully did to native americans and their culture. You don’t really have that unified us vs them mentality in english speaking canada.

I dont know anything about quebec but honestly this statement is so one-sided that it translates to "noise" and "rage bait" level

One chapter in a long history of anti Quebecois sentiment from the national government in desire of homogeny. There is a reason why the present autonomy was insisted upon.
