This does not come as a surprise based on how the Quebec government keeps pushing the federal government for more and more transfer payments each year. Quebec is the one province in the entire country that is always looking for a handout and receives special treatment because of the threat of separation.

So, Quebec did this to itself with its language laws, the fact that its 7$/day daycare is funded with Alberta money. How Quebec has the highest amount of civil servants in all the provinces and spends its money on language cops rather than job creation or paying down the deficit.

You see Francophones from Quebec who can speak perfectly good English, go complaining to the Federal language ministers when they are served in English on an Air Canada flight, but if it was the other way around and if an Alberta resident came to Quebec and could not be served in English, the federal language minister would brush it off and say that Quebec is French only.

So, this resentment from the rest of the country is no surprise as the Federal government has bent over backwards to please Quebec. I hope the transfer payments get cut and Quebec is forced to pay the real costs of daycare.

By the way, I am a Quebecer and I agree with the rest of the country in that Quebec should stop being treated specially.

However, if Quebec does vote to separate, they should not have any more access to Canadian currency or canadian passports and no more federal assistance, Quebec should be completely on its own with no federal transfer payments, no EI, no Federal pension plans and no federal social insurance number and if Quebecers want to go to Canada, they should be forced to obtain a visitors VISA.

However, the PQ would never have the GUTS to fully separate the province on its own without Canadian government transfer payments. Quebec would never survive on its own. Furthermore, the native Indians would lay claim to portions of the province if Quebec ever did officially separate(which it never will).

I am a Quebecer(Francophone) and I do see why Canadians would resent Quebec. They need to speak English with the outside world, whether they like it or not.
