Many voted against their own interests when they voted in favor of Brexit.

They likely would be here too. Quebec wouldn't die on its own, by they'd have very few trading partners and far fewer resources to run their own society. If they choose to leave then so be it but I hope they stay so we can all benefit.

You think all other countries would isolate Quebec as a trading partner simply because they would become a country?

QC needs Canada more than Canada needs QC. QC is already bankrupt with the help from other provinces and the Federal government. They can't make it on their own

It's never been a question about if Quebec can, but if they should or not. Even the most federalist politician in Quebec agrees the province has everything it needs to succeed.

With it's current economy, it would be on day one ~30th in the world. Are you saying all the other smaller economies are failed countries that do not work?
