Partition - This is what scares the Separatists the most

Never have I seen such virulent editorials in the Francophone media than against the idea of Partition or against those that support it. One common argument that stands out in all of them, is that it's "Undemocratic", the hypocrisy!

Montreal may be a tricky spot because of it's mixed demographics, but certainly those areas that voted over 90% in the last referendum to remain in Canada should be allowed to do so. What's undemocratic about that? Specifically, I'm talking about the Cree in Northern Quebec, the Mohawks in the south, and the County of the Pontaic in the west. Why the Pontiac you ask? Just look at the map, English village names all up and down the Ottawa river and up Highway 105. This area was settled almost 200 years ago by Americans, English, Irish and Scots. They've kept their heritage alive despite the best efforts of the Separatist extremists. The fact that they have resisted violation of their civil rights, makes the Separatists go nuts. In their eyes it's a Scandal.

Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Brassard can bluster all he wants about the sanctity of Quebecs' borders. The truth is though, that he will have a tough time keeping his sacred territory intact.
