I believe it will be far P> better. All of the gov't jobs will leave the province, much small P> business will leave and large. Military will be moved. P> We won't be sending federal funds to Quebec. P> There are a lot of people on U.I.C, and welfare in this province P> also. Grant you we would probably get alot of them also. P> The down side is, I think it shouldn't be left to the people in P> a particular province to decide. We are Canadians we have the P> right to live in any province. They belong to us all collectively. P> So if a vote is to be held the entire country should be involved. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
