It's an old idea from the 19th century. It is something that is not relavant to the vibrant, extraordinary, culture that is Quebec as Quebec is an amazing part of Canada. Nationalism is based on a smallness of thought that closes in, that builds up barriers between people, and has nothing to do with the Canada we should be building. It stands against everything my father ever believed.

New Canada must be workable without Quebec, but it must be open and attractive enough to include a New Quebec.
Preston Manning
If you look at the surviving PC support, it's very much concentrated in Atlantic Canada, in the provinces to the east of Quebec. These are very much equivalent to the United States border states. They're weak economically. They have very grim prospects if Quebec separates. These people want a solution at almost any cost.
Stephen Harper
If, as is believed by many Canadians, Canada can not exist without Quebec, then it simply does not deserve to exist.
Pierre Bourgault
I am trying to put Quebec in its place — and the place of Quebec is in Canada.
Pierre Trudeau
I do not see how proving my family, brotherly love for Quebec should be strengthened by defying Canada.
Nicolas Sarkozy
