I am usually just a lurker, and very rarely post, but in this case, I am very interested in exploring the opinions of those in this thread who find Quebec's right to secede from Canada self evident. How far does this right to self determination go? Could the inhabitants of Montreal decide to secede from an independent Quebec? If not, why not? What is the distinction? Do you think that my neighbourhood in Hamilton has the right to secede from the City, Ontario, and Canada if we get together and hold a referendum? Once again, if not, why not? What are the rules that apply to make these decisions?
This is not intended as a troll, but a sincere attempt to understand how you arrive at your position.
