Quebec will never be independent, because with the passing of the boomers, the ethnic French Canadian population will be an absolute demographic minority within Quebec. It was already too late in 1995 when 60% of ethnic FCs voted for independence, but that wasn’t enough because of… mass immigration. All of the institutions that make Quebec different will be abolished, and the former Quebec will become essentially another GTA but where black people can speak French.

That was exactly Parizeau's point when he drunkenly proclaimed that "money and the ethnic vote" cost them the referendum in '95. He wasn't wrong. Shrewd old fox he was, right out of a Wodehouse novel (Parizeau was a notorious Anglophile).

Dee, the demographic argument, numbers, the Québécois are already swamped, yup, that may be insurmountable.

But there is a second component .

It is likely that the French Canadian schools and Academy have taught their children to be self loathing. I bet the kids were bathed in a DEI curriculum and talk of the French being oppressor, colonizers with harrowing tales about the genocide of the native Indians.

The Quebec kids likely hate their ancestral heritage and simply want to join the globalist monoculture machine. They would vote no.

Demographics and demoralizing the youth against their own heritage will likely win the day, separatism will flounder.

That’s the counter argument, which I hinted at, but nobody asked (hurt feelings).

There's no question the schools have been doing this. How effective they've been is another question. Those who slurp up the indoctrination become obnoxiously loud; those who resist tend to keep their own counsel. This skews everyone's perspective.

I am rooting for the destruction of Canada. Honestly.

Atrocious ? Traitor ?

In its current form it doesn't deserve to survive.

I used to be very patriotic, as everyone seemed to be back then, but the best thing that can happen to Canada now is annexation. There’s nothing left to save, and the Yanks enjoy the first and second amendment that we desperately need.

You wouldn’t know this for sure if you didn’t know the language, but I do know the language, and your guess is correct. Taking pride in one’s deep roots in Quebec today is widely considered very wicked, oppressive and xenophobic, especially (of course) in Montreal. Not by everyone—a lot of people still have a backbone—but by a lot of people. DEI, of course, is entrenched in institutions. French Canadians are reduced to American-style “white people,” i.e. the oppressor class in race Marxism. Christendom is thoroughly demonized, as in Soviet Russia. And anyway, young people just consume global monoculture on their phones, just like their cohort all over the world.
