Québécois? Moi?
According to a Globe & Mail article, while it seem that most of the politicians (with the exception of Conservative MP Michael Chong) can agree on the issue of Quebec nation within Canada-hood, 77% of Canadians are opposed.
Personally, I don’t see what the big deal is as it’s telling me something that I knew already; that the Québécois are just like us but charmingly different. It all comes down to semantics, I feel and it just may keep Jacques Parizeau from crying like he did on that nailbiter of a night over ten years ago.
Frankly, I was surprised at such an opposition by the public but then again so did the Conservatives when they brought forth that motion.
I wonder though, in the years to come when Quebec finally achieves its sovereign goals, being an Anglo born in Montreal can I claim dual-citizenship?
