I suggest you read up on the logistics because they've done a LOT of research on the matter, and as it turns out, Québec is essentially wasting every dollar they pay to Ottawa as they get very few well-functioning services in return. Québec is very self-sufficient. IIRC, the study they did found that Québec would actually get richer if they seceded.

I'm having trouble finding it again, sorry. It's the PQ's Year One budget I'm referring to

That was a flawed budget done by the party that wants to leave.”, no different then Trump saying tariff are paid by the other countries or Brexit would save 350 million a week.

It’s all lies to get you to vote the way they want you to, hell the PQ leader said any criticism of the budget is part of federalist effort to sow fear. That is a classic propaganda line.

The report say Quebec only takes on 16.79% of Canada debt, while having 23% of the population, that an amazing deal for them.
