They could only get the area along the St. Lawrence River in the south. However, the separatists claim the whole province and Labrador. A recent poll puts the support for the Crown in Quebec at 30% - the lowest in Canada. In neighbouring Ontario, it is at 65%. With only 10% English speaking, that means that 20% of French Quebecers (one fifth) support the Crown - and I have met a few. Don't forget, they have been under the British flag for over 200 years. The separatists are currently out of power in the Province. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
