A Canadian pro-family leader says sooner rather than later, English-speaking Canada may just have to say "au revoir" to Quebec, which continues to be dominated by a political party whose only goal is separation from the rest of the country.
Brian Rushfeldt, the executive director of the Canada Family Action Coalition, admits concern about the recent attempt by three liberal Canadian political parties to oust Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose Conservative Party strengthened its minority position in October's federal elections. Harper avoided a no-confidence vote last week when Canada's governor general allowed him to dissolve Parliament and prevent a takeover by the rogue coalition that includes the party Bloc Quebecois, which has had the stated goal of independence for the French-speaking province. Rushfeldt wonders if maybe it is time to grant them their wish. "People are starting to question, 'Is Quebec of any value to Canada?' And that's been asked a little bit," he explains. "I think they're starting to be asked even more seriously now because we see that they are taking huge amounts of revenues from the rest of Canada, producing little or nothing for us." But Rushfeldt believes such a move could cause a serious constitutional crisis in Canada. "Quebec, when they threatened separation a number of years ago, said: 'If we decide to separate, the constitution doesn't apply to us anyway, so you guys can say whatever you want but we're out of here,'" he adds. "If there was sufficient momentum to cause Quebec to separate, it may turn into a bit of a civil war." Even though he hopes it does not come to that, Rushfeldt notes there clearly remains division between Quebec and the rest of Canada.
