The lameness of the separation threat

There are a lot of reasons to explain why the Quebec independence movement is the lamest in the entire world.

Mark Steyn, the columnist, usually says it's the most pathetic exercise in separation because of the fact that they want to separate and build up the exact same kind of country that Canada is anyway.

Here's another reason why it's the most pathetic separatist movement in the world: separatists in Quebec are so shameless in how they admit that they will call a referendum "when they can win it", thereby admitting the folly of their cause. By "waiting for the exact right time" to call a referendum, they admit that they want to separate when they play upon and perfectly manipulate the emotions of Francophones. That's all their saying, and it's shocking that they're so forthright about it.

The current "unity" threat is also entirely pathetic. Quebecers are treated like idiotic children by the federal Liberals. I've heard some Liberals actually imply that it is necessary to have the Prime Minister come from Quebec - essentially disenfranchising 80% of Canada's population from attaining the highest office in the land.

Anyways, they'll continue treating Quebecers like children who have to be saved from themselves, because of what they're likely to do with their democratic rights.
