Quebec is a powerful province with a large population and what appears to be a sustainable economic system. They also have an approach to social welfare that values a rich culture and high standard of living. A lot of people think Quebec has certain things figured out.
Quebec is not likely to separate from Canada any time soon (if ever) but if they ever do, it would physically cut us off from the rest of our parent country. In fact, as it stands, they already do act as an obstacle to Ottawa.
We've had our differences in the past (notably the Upper Churchill disaster), but wouldn't we be better off to forge a positive relationship with Quebec? It's been said that there are Labradorians who already associate themselves with Quebec more strongly than with NL.
Somehow, intuitively, it seems as though we've been ignoring a potential powerful ally. I say we foster our relationship with Quebec. What do you guys think? How could we do this?
