What would happen to Canada if Quebec was granted their independence?

Canada will make adjustments and will continue as one of the great nations of the world.
The Eastern Provinces will be perceived as more isolated but, in some ways, they always have been. In the end, very little would change except that Canada would effectively lose a wonderful and unique part of its heritage. On the other hand, anyone who has visited Newfoundland will know that it is equally unique, as is the northern region of Canada. Quebec is just one part of a big, beautiful country.
The real question is "What will happen to Quebec if Quebec withdraws?"

∙ 14y agoOn the surface, nothing. But you'll note that every time that gets talked seriously, the British PM and the American President are all over it, with support for Canada staying "whole".
It's not that anyone cares about French people going their own way.
It's just concern over the precedent it would set. If it was established that a distinct geographic region could peaceably secede, then you'd have Scotland, Texas, Yukon Territories, Alaska, Wales, the old South, Northern Ireland, Vermont and Utah clamoring for secession next.

Will Quebec separate?
Yes. Quebec will, and should separate from Canada. One of the many reasons they wanted to leave is due to their differences in language and culture from Canada. These differences are in fact very major, and no matter what the rest of Canada (ROC) may think. Quebec is a strong contributor to the culture and economy of Canada. However, no catastrophic problems would occur if they ever did separate. These days, right-wing politicians in the House of Commons of Canada only use this as a threat to try and protect the interests of those who live in central provinces, such as Alberta and Saskatchewan. That is because they realize the problems that would happen with separation, that those provinces benefits greatly from Quebec because they can pass their natural ressources like tar sands on Quebec territory to reach the Atlantic. The original movements of separation were caused by proud nationalists since 1867 and was based on rational long term thought.
What are some Problems if Quebec separated from Canada?
This is an open ended question, meaning virtually every person may have a differentopinion on this question. Some of the most likely issues would be: 1) Money. Would quebec be able to use the Canadian dollar, which they are on record as saying they would, as it would provide a more stable (stronger) currency than if they create a new currency. 2) Pensions - What would happen to people who are entitled to Canadian pensions for having worked and lived in Canada all their lives; would they get a Canadian pension or would they have to have it converted into whatever currency Quebec creates, should it be required to create a new pension? 3) Native rights - Since native Indians in Canada have procured rights as citizens of their own native reserve as well as Canadian citizenship, would they be allowed to still maintain their traditional relationship with Canada or would some other arrangement have to be made with the Quebec government, as a new entity (country)? 4)Travel - What would be requirements of people traveling in and out of Quebec? Would they need a passport or other documents to gain access? 5) Trade - Would current trade issues and rules apply or would there need to be new rules/laws in place allowing for the fact that Quebec is now not part of Canada? 6) Military and Foreign Affairs - Would Quebec develop its' own army, navy, etc. or would remain some connection with Canadian armed forces? Virtually every issue which any new country is forced (decides) to establish when itbecomes independent would be required of Quebec to address (deal with). Some have said that is why a new Quebec would need to continue what has been called sovereignty-association, with Canada, so that Quebec would be independent in some manner but still maintain ties (legal and cultural for example) with Canada in othere areas. This is an issue that would have to be decided by both Canada and Quebec shouldQuebec decide to form some form of independence or separation from Canada.
