We have, for the most part, contained the problems with Quebec.

One ongoing concern we have with Quebec is their never ending demand for more power and more money. They might feel that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I do not know what amount of money flows from Ottawa to them, but many argue that it is out of proportion with the rest of the country. I will have to look into that some time. On balance, we haven't had that many problems with them the past few years. It will probably flare up again though.

In the 1990s, when I was living on Vancouver Island, a job posting came up for a postmaster at the Black Creek post office. One of the requirements was that the manager had to be bilingual. The position was filled, but several more qualified people were rejected because they only spoke English.

And, as everyone knows, Vancouver Island is full of French speaking people (insert sarcasm here). The need for a French speaker is vital!
