Melmothw, Yes PQ is still part of Confederation, but not really, its a typical Canadian compromise in which a series of goverments in Quebec stomp on anything which is not ordained as "pure Quebecois" the rest of the country turns a blind eye, so as to avoid troops on the streets again. Lets face it, when the "Speach Police" {yes, they REALLY do exist} tries to shut down an Italian resteraunt for using the word "Pasta" on the menu, then you know why most of the money/brains have bailed out long ago.By the way, both myself and my children speak French/English, the saving grace in this situation is so many Quebecers have gone West to partake of the oil boom and are seeing that the outside world is not as presented by the fanatics, thus with any kind of luck this may all go away given time, but it will take time, if indeed it ever takes place in part due to the lack of good language tuition in our school systems, the Swiss being a good example of how to do it.
