Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

In my opinion I feel that Quebec should have its own colony. The English and French wants their own independence and their own Economic Terms.The main issue why Quebec wanted to have its own colony is because they had two different types of languages that the people were speaking. The Quebec colony was divided into two,which retained French law and institutions and English law and cultures. They both wanted their own province within Canada, also they wanted and economic association within Canada.

Hi, my name is Ryan. I agree that Quebec should secede because the British were having unfair laws that contributed to Quebec.Such as limiting the government jobs. So Quebec didn't think that was fair. Also, Quebec spoke 95% french, and the British spoke 95% English. So those are two languages that are different from each other. Back to the point, all though Quebec would be a small province, it is mature enough to secede to newer things. Also, I agree with Branden because Quebec should have their freedom. Right now, Quebec doesn't feel comfortable together with the British,with all the unfairness of all the situations going on. so I can understand how they would want to split apart. How would you feel if you were in a province, such as Quebec, and you were in that situation. So yes i agree that Quebec should secede. Thank you.

I believe that Quebec should be able to succeed from Canada because we all deserve freedom and rights so leave it to Quebec if they wont to succeed from Canada let them because freedom is the one thing that we should hold dearest because i know i would Never want mine taken away from me

Side: Quebec should not secede

Capitalize those I's, Brenden! :) But I'm sorry, I disagree because it is very hard to be alone, without other provinces supporting you! Also, if the citizens are not happy, then they can just move to a country with rights they want!!!!!
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Dear fellow citizens of Quebec, we need to secede from Canada. In the beginning, Quebec was taken from the French who rightfully found it, back then the British treated the French as inferior by making laws that work against us to treating our language with lower status. Trudeau has made laws to change this, but this is not enough. As a separate nation we will be able to make our own decisions and our own constitution. Our country will thrive and will benefit all by treating everyone with equal status. Along side our separation, France will help us along the way. We can change our government if the majority of people decide that. The country of Quebec sovereignty will be a huge success. Trudeau is a great leader, but as a separate nation we will have more opportunities. This concludes my argument.#QuebecSovereignty

If the citizens of Quebec don't like where they are living, then why not just move to a new country that has the rights they want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Whew, ok, let me calm myself down.

You are wrong in my opinion! It is really, really difficult to thrive without other provinces supporting you! Plus, if the citizens do not like the rights/laws, then they should just move to a different country that has rights that they want!

One thing, How do you know that France will help you? I know that Quebec was a french colony but, what exactly convinces you that France will help
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

You make a good argument, but I think that It would not only impact Quebec, But Canada as well. To Quebec It would seem like freedom, but to the rest of Canada it would seem like your 3 year old little brother (If you have one) saying "you were mean to me, so I wont ever play with you again!" Which is kinda stupid if you get what I mean.

Quebec actually does have a good reason to secede. They believe that their culture and rights are being taken away.

Dear Connor,Getting the power that Quebec needs is not as easy as you think in the process of getting it they could go to war with any country that will easily win. Quebec could easily lose everything.

I think that if we have had so many wars for freedom and then you don't want to give freedom to Quebec then that's not fair do they not deserve the freedom that me and everybody else has do you think that they aren't what we are come on we need to help them get to where they want to be.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think Quebec should secede because it needs its freedom. Although they might have a rough start they have the natural resources to make jobs and industry so it won't be as tough as if they didn't. It might not be the ideal situation, but it will get Quebec their freedom and give them a new beginning so they can make their own allies and build themselves up to who they want to be.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Quebec's distinctive French language and tradition has led many of the residents to ask for a separation from time to time. Should Quebec be excluded? Since I am the the adviser I personally think the best decision for Quebec is to be detached from Canada.The British has always been favored so it's not a big surprise that the people of Quebec want there own country.Back then when Levesque was a young boy, most French Canadians were penniless with cramped houses and wretched looking schools. Meanwhile, the British Canadians were wealthy with extravagant houses and talented schools.Back in the 1700 the British Canadians made laws. The laws were very unfair to the French Canadians. In the law it said that Roman Catholic couldn't have a government job.Most of the French were Roman Catholic. Although the British passed the Quebec act to let the Quebecois have free religion and there own laws, there was still trouble.In 1791 the British passed yet another act which dived Upper Canada for the British and you know who as left with lower Canada you guessed it the French Canadians. Yet another law was past to put them back together.Decades later and Trudeau is elected Prime Minister.Trudeau passed the official language act to help with the language of Canada. Even though Prime Minister Trudeau passed this law who would say another Prime Minster comes a long and changes the laws once again. In all believe if this happened to me I would feel owned. Maybe that's why Quebecois wanted there own country. Maybe they should have there own country.

I agree with you Folashade you have good points on why Quebec should seced eand they ar very reasonable.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

I disagree with Adey and Folashade, you have a good point that they aren't treated right but that's why they need to stand up for themselves. I mean Prime minister Trudeau is french right? If he thinks that the french himself it not getting any attention, he could stand up for his own country (which in this case is France). Moving is also very difficult, we you become a big country and fill up Quebec, how are going to expand? If war happens how are you going to win, the British won't help you? When other provinces get mad at you how are going to defend yourselves? Where are you going to get resources. These are question that you have to think about if you your deciding if you should go. It not only the problem, it also how are you going to fix the problem.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Celine, I get what you mean but when you say that Quebec should stand up for themselves, however they stand up for themselves by leaving Canada and making a new and strong country.We cold go to war and the best way to win is make allies and that will be easier with their supply of natural resources.

Dear Sade,I loved the way worded your argument. I 100% support your answer. I liked that you stated to be the adviser. I also liked the way you compared British Canadians and French Canadians. Your friend,Kennedy
Debate: Quebec Separation

Canada should just let them leave because if they don't want to change their culture or their language just LET THEM GO. I think that if a state wants to separate from their country and become a country themselves, they should be able to without any argument's happening
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

Jordan_Frms I feel that you should not nessisarily be able to become your own country if you want to without the permission to do so. Also if I were the Prime Minister of Canada I would need to know why you think Quebec should secede and things you would allow if Quebec were to become it's own.
Debate: Quebec Separation

KailaHudson Quebec wants to leave Canada because they don't want to change any of their culture and languages to fit. And also I don't really think they need permission to leave Canada. Canada can't make the French change their language.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think any state or province should be able to secede from there country. I do not think that they need permission by the leader of the country. This is a form of power I do not agree that the prime minister should have. Kaila Hudson, the country of Quebec doesn't need permission, it is a large province that should be able to make its own decisions with out any interference from the rest of Canada.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think what Jordan is trying to say is that Quebec should able to leave with out any objections from other provinces and government leaders, and that we have the absolute right of seceding from Canada.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Quebec should secede! Quebec has the right!!! They are a province and should be treated equally, meaning that if other provinces could secede, I think Quebec should be able to! I think it is VERY important that they are able to secede. Their rights are important to me because Quebec has a different language, which is Catholicism. They want to be free of Canada's laws and rule their own land. If they turn solitary, they could even start a Confederational type of government, which is the act of joining with a group of other provinces, but only agreeing to certain limitations. This could aid the fact that Quebec could get attacked, and another country could claim them. This may not happen with a Confederational type of government.I also believe that Quebec should secede because if their country is treated unfairly they should have the right to not be part of the country.They have freedom so they should be able to separate from the country.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

I disagree!!!!! It is very hard to thrive alone without other provinces/states supporting you! Plus if the citizens do not like the country, then they can move to another country that has rights they want!!!!!

NO QUEBEC SHOULDN'T (at least in my opinion)!!! Do you want to know why? Because that could start a war and we might have to get involved in the WAR. Which might mean more blood shed and more victims of war. I don't think we would want to be one of those victims!! Do You!?! (Wow I just got a whole lot of negative energy out).

Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Most of us know that Quebec is wanting to secede from Canada. But why? This is because they felt that laws have been unfair since the 1700's. For example, when the British were in control they made some laws that benefited only their business but the French. Even now, in the 1900's, the French have become piqued. This is because the government has been favoring English, when a majority of Quebec speaks mainly French and learning a new language can be very strenuous or difficult. Quebec believes that they might be losing there culture and language. I also agree with Quebec because they shouldn't be forced to believe in something or do something that they don't feel is fair.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

Sabrina,I think you are wrong because the british are obviously trying to fix their problems by creating new laws and although you have a point about the british favoring cultures there is a law for that and you don't have to go to war for your language o be equal to others.Why would you go through the process of seceding to have freedom when you could just have protests to get rights.
Debate: Quebec Separation

I support You completely. Even if Trudea mad an act doesn't mean a new prime minster might take it away. Quebec should be able to do what they want with there language and culture.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Independence, the fact or state of being independent. Independence is exactly what I think Quebec deserves. Quebec should be able to secede from Canada. French colonist that live in Quebec should have the freedom to practice whatever religion they want and get the same equal rights as the British, maintain their language, and maintain their culture without mixing English into things.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

In the French and Indian War The New World won. That meant that the British could take over the territory of Quebec, and they did. The British had some cruel, unfair laws that the French colonist weren't big fans of. There were some acts passed like the Quebec Act and the Act of Union. In 1968, Pierre Trudeau was elected prime minister of Canada and wanted to unify Canada. Canada's government, favored the English language up until the 1970s and the citizens Quebec mainly spoke French. Trudeau then passed the Official Languages Act, but this wasn't enough to make the French pleased. Meanwhile Rene Levesque, the leader of Quebec, wanted Quebec to be independent. Later on there was a vote and Quebec's citizens said no to seceding. In 1995 another vote was taken and sadly the results were the same.  Secession, the action of withdrawing formally from membership of a federation or body, especially a political state. I feel that Quebec should be able to secede from Canada. If they did secede there would be some pros and cons. The cons would not change my opinion at all. One of the cons is that if Quebec was successful they might need to expand and that would cost a lot of money. A pro is that the French colonist would have freedom. In conclusion, I think that Quebec should secede. Quebec should be able to practice whatever religion they want and have equal rights, maintain the language, and maintain there culture without having to mix English into things. French colonist should be treated just as equal as the British.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

Rene Levesque as leader of Quebec should be upset and ready to leave. If war does occur, Quebec would be assisted by their parent country, France. If Trudeau really wanted Quebec to stay, he would listen to his citizens' voices.  I think that Quebec has the right and should secede because of the Canadian government not showing fairness. The government ignored their civilians, which doesn't lead to success. The government of Canada had a lot of avoidable mistakes, but they didn't see it coming, which is why Quebec is better off as an independent country because "being happy is better than being rich".
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

The reason why I think Quebec wanted to secede in the first place was because they wanted their own laws to obey. I think Quebec should secede because they did not like the laws that the British made. The text states that "Because the British were in control , they made laws that helped their business and not Quebec's." Quebec felt that British having all the power was unfair. Therefore, Quebec wanted to separate so they can form their own country and make their own rules. There is also a problem with language, Quebec speaks French and the British speaks English. There would be a problem between language because Quebec and the British would not understand what each other are saying and that can cause confusion. I agree to what Siarra said because she stated that " French was mainly spoken in Quebec. If Quebec seceded from Canada then the citizens of Quebec could follow through their language and cultural existence and intimation." It would be best if Quebec separated from Canada because they would be making their own rules and speaking their own language without confusion of speaking with another country. If Quebec secedes from Canada Levesque would lead his country with their own laws and they could speak their original language without confusion.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think that Quebec should secede because if the problem was really that bad then Quebec should automatically be able to switch. Quebec can do a lot of positive things like making their own rules. This can help the people of the community and also the people in charge can get use to their rules.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think that Quebec should secede from Canada because if they were in Canada they wouldn't be able to communicate with each other because majority Quebec spoke French and majority of Canada spoke English. It would be hard to communicate with others and trade. Another reason is that Quebec wouldn't have to abundant there town because if Quebec would of stayed with Canada they would of have to abundant there land and be with Canada's land. Also, Quebec would have there own rules to follow and not Canada's so they can make laws and rules to follow themselves. That is why I would go with René Lévesque the leader of Quebec to be independent.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think that Quebec should have the right to secede from Canada because the prime minister wants the french to change their original way of speaking so that they can fit in. I think that is unfair because they wouldn't like it if they were put in that situation where they had to change their natural way of living just to fit in.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should secede

I think that Quebec should secede. It is not fair that they have no say in whether the country should learn a new language or not. After all the french did find the land first, so the French should also have a say in the decision's the country makes. Although, Tredeau also resolves the problem by not seceding it would still be unfair towards the French; by agreeing and letting the British rule their territory, that could make an also great solution to the situation. On both Tredeau and Levesque's sides they do stand a very strong perspective on their argument, but by the fact that the British culture is being unfair with their rules and regulations against another culture's freedom, it creates a bad image on the reason's why Tredeau should win this argument. The British rules are unfair towards the French and the rest of their new country.
Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

The reason that Quebec wants to secede is because the government favors the English language but Quebec favors the french language. I agree that all of Canada should favor both languages, but I think that Quebec still should not try to become an independent country. I think it will a waist of time and money in the whole process. The cons about seceding are:1) Quebec will have to depend on other countries for crops.2) Quebec will lose allies and trade partners (connected to Canada)3) Half of Quebec is Native people who will be mad if Quebec leaves.4) Quebec will waste time on printing new money (or making money) because all of Canada has the same money and they would be a different country, so they can not have the same.5) Also, printing passports is not only a waste of time but it is a waste of money.These are some of the reasons why I think that Quebec would not be an independent country. That is also why I think that Quebec should stay with Canada.

I think that Quebec should not succeed because it will destroy Canada's government and as they do have the right to secede but I will assure you that mostly the votes won't allow Quebec to succeed my reasons are because 1(They won't have very much Money or value to trade with a different countries.) 2(Quebec will be put Easier in war and World Issues.) 3(The border of Canada and Quebec will be very difficult to make and map on how the size of Canada is .) 4(Not many people will live in Quebec and will not keep the country rolling money.) 5(As I said the money won't be rolling in the country and will not have enough to make schools and needs.)

Quebec should not secede because its not really their choice anyway since they are ruled by the government. Its just not right!! I think that they would probably lose a lot of money, it would take a while to get army, and I think they are great just where they are.

Debate: Quebec Separation
Side: Quebec should not secede

I'm on Trudeau's side, because I think that if Quebec were to secede a tremendous argument may occur, and most people speak French, also most laws were made by the British. The French thought that was unfair, but I think they were just very ungrateful for what they didn't realize what they really had. I believe that the French should not be able to secede, cause if they do it they could get into a conflict much like the Civil War, or they could drain the natural resources that they have, because they do not have as much land, the effect is needing to buy or trade with other countries. That is exactly why I'm with Trudeau's side.
