I understand completely what you're saying, but for the sake of your family (present and/or future), friends, sanity, stay where you are and fight for what is right.
There comes a time when the only way forward is to leave. The US was founded by people who were done with England, and really there was no way they were going to get freedom from the Church of England while in England.
The patriots never could have overthrown the crown on the British Islands.
I'm in California, so I am admittedly ignorant, but my understanding is that Quebec may be past the point of no return. It is probably better if all the good people in places like that gather so that, need be, they can muster resistance together; Kurdistan has stood the Islamic onslaught by banding together in a large group.
Fuck that, get out now and go somewhere else, Quebec is beautiful but it basically runs like a socialist nation within the confines of Canada. I disagree with staying and fighting, exactly what is he going to do about a 15% sales tax? That shit is not going anywhere, he'll live his whole life paying that tax, and he'll more likely see it increase rather than decrease. Unless you've personally got the capital, the coalition, and the will of the people on your side, there is very little you're going to do to fight and change anything about Quebec.
We're dreaming if we expect the eastern provinces to lower their taxes. Eastern provinces having greying populations whereas Alberta brings down the national average so many young people moved here. I left the east coast years ago and had a hard time starting up my life out West, things are hard enough here, but I was paying 15% tax in NL, it was untenable. The NL government can barely make payroll for its own employees as it is, and the taxes and cost of living are ridiculous.

Great reply, you're dead on. I hope you're making out ok.
