I thought of this in my head previously on Thursday, should the Canadian province become an independent country? Please state your arguments for supporting this proposal, and others state their arguments for being against this proposal.

That said, Canada is already a pretty decentralized country. I do not see much gain on Quebec's part in case of becoming independent, since they already effectively have a freedom to determine almost all of their policies without having to consult with the federal government. I also may be wrong on this, but I remember reading about extended powers Quebec government has compared to other provinces' governments.
So, my stance is the same as with Brexit: it does little harm and brings little gain. Doing it or not doing it will not change much for the people living there in practical terms.

Also @Zombieguy1987 and @Polaris95, why not contribute some arguments considering you disagree with Alec's argument?
