I've been hearing that, Montreal might get split from my country(Canada) is it true o.O. I had a friend come down from Montreal and he told me "If Montreal splits then Im moving down here!".
If Montreal did split, it would be a disaster... WAR!.

don't see what the big fuss is all about- if it becomes it's own sovereign entity (a new country or provence for example), nothing will change except that the resident's addresses will not have 'Canada' in it anymore. more of a paperwork hassle than anything else. no rules will change, no border/passport checks, no loss of fries with gravy at your local McDonalds.
in fact i doubt you would see a difference in the area, except for borders signs that say something like "you are leaving Canada, eh?" | |

Maybe but if they did seperate (like last time when the votes was 51-49) and decide to make their own currency and stuff...how long will it last? | |

I doubt it would last very long, well at least until they understand there not meant to split up. Heres a question would the Montreal Canadians(Habs) still play hockey? Or would they even still be called Montreal (Canadians). Maybe, it would go back to Montreal Habs. | |

At what McDonalds do you get gravy on your fries o_O I've been to McD's in Labrador/Newfoundland and one in Toronto - both offered gravy on your fries instead of ketchup or mayo. was actually pretty good when the gravy was salty enough. | |

Of course much more than this will change. Montreal has made it pretty clear they will then persecute the minorities there. The Indians have said they will appeal to Canada to split their portion of Montreal off and have it be part of Canada, since they'd rather not be persecuted, thank you. Montreal will resist this. Some form of war could be quite possible. Canada has made it clear that Montreal could not use their currency, which came as a surprise to Montreal. We can only speculate what would happen to the English-speakers foolish enough to remain there. Whatever is left of commerce would leave Montreal, running even more money out of the place. And don't be surprised at all if their were passport checks at the border. | |

Sorry for the bumpage, but I am from Montreal, Quebec, and I feel sort of concerned in this discussion about the separatist movement. So I'll just put my 2 cents in this. And just to set the record straight, it's not just Montreal, it's the whole province of Quebec. It won't happen! As sad as it seems to some of my fellow french-canadians, it will not happen before long. Quebec suffered 2 humiliating defeats in referendums regarding an eventual split from Canada. Quebecers don't believe in sovereignty as they did back in the 70's. And what would we gain from it? Nothing! We'd just let pride get the best of us to dive head first in a huge pile of you-know-what. Quebec wouldn't survive the economic chaos that would occur from it. Canada would have a hard time getting up from the loss of one of its most profitable provinces on an economic standpoint. However, if it would have to happen, Canada would have no other choice but to have an economic alliance with Quebec. I mean, the blow would be equally nasty for both of them. An alliance would ease things up. I still maintain my point: this shall not happen any time soon. | |

Quebec government is always trying to seperate. Nothing new here.
