As a native of Montreal with great memories
of my early life in Quebec, particularly in the pre-PQ days, it is somewhat troubling
to watch those that continue to think Quebecers would be better off as an
isolated community, not only in Canada but in all of North America. With many
societies around the world working toward building bridges to connect
communities, the PQ continues to advance a thinking that focuses on building
fences. Rather than concentrate on issues that many people are anxious to hear
about, such as the economy, health care and education, the PQ tends to direct its
energies towards issues that tend to divide rather than unite. In their never-ending
quest for separation, the PQ seems to think the universe will unfold according
to its own expectations, a naïve presumption from my perspective. Hopefully,
one hundred years from now the historical record will reveal how Quebec dallied
with the notion of separation for a few years and only to conclude it was
better off to stay within a united Canada.
