Quebec secession would be a very good thing, in spite of their labor union support and other socialist leanings.  We should work with them on the issues we have in common, overlook the differences, and try to be good neighbors.

Commonalities like? Leeching money from the host country because the incredible provincial taxes can not cover all your socialist programs? Continuous government oversight and intervention to protect the officially sanctioned culture and language? Denying immigrants and most residents free choice among even government-funded schools? Courting outside businesses with massive, and temporary, tax discounts while screwing local ones into the ground? Rampant corruption among the bureaucrats and thriving black-market employment among welfare recipients?

I'm not certain what Quebec-and-Atlantic-Canada you're thinking of, but it sure isn't the one I grew up in. Quebec doing anything other than posturing for favors is darned unlikely, and the Atlantic provinces joining them is a hilarious bit of fiction.
