  • Only taking into account the equalization in the calculus seems a bit limited, they are others factors that allow economic growth like access to cheap energy, transport, educated workforce, defense, etc… Believing that so many peoples vote because they want to throw a tantrum seems shortsighted if you want to unite peoples and believe Quebec should be part of Canada. We give you money so you should just shut the fuck up won’t build a nation. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe the equalization system seems fair, but the condescending tone won’t convince peoples to change.


  • For point 1 : From my understanding, it is a bit more than not signing a piece of paper. Not participating in the signature of a founding document like a constitution seems like a good recipe to create resentment long term. If it was just an admin task to sign it, why not re-open that document for signature ? I’m not even judging the situation that lead to this, just the impact it has today. For point 2 : While I don’t disagree that it’s a bit odd to have a party at the federal level that defend provincial interest, there is an underlying issue that lead peoples to vote for them. And no one is really interested to have this embarassing discussion 😅 For point 3 : I’m not knowledgeable enough to say if Quebec receive or give more, even if I doubt that this is a black and white answer
