Is Quebec trying to gain independence from Canada?
Not as a political entity, no. However, some individuals and groups living in Québec would like for the place to be independent from, or be in a different kind of political relationship to, what would remain of Canada.
How would the independence of Quebec affect the Geography of Canada?
It depends on the political borders. Those living and unaware of history in Quebec would look at the map of the Province and think that is the starting point for the territory they would leave Confederation with. Many there would also add Nunavut and Labrador or want to discuss it. But Quebec, I argued does not have a good claim to any land other than that with which they entered into Confederation with. This would be Canada East, and not include Rupert's Land or Newfoundland or Labrador which is most of Northern Quebec province. The reason is very simple. Canada, the Confederation, bought Rupert's Land and was given to Quebec to administer, not take out of the Confederation. Quebec has also taken more money from Confederation than they have put in and part of that money was to help administer Rupert's Land.

What was the second province to join Canada?
When Canada came into being on July 1, 1867, there were four original provinces: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Each original province entered Confederation at the same time and none has a priority of entry over any of the others. The fifth province to enter Confederation was Manitoba, but it was created by the federal government out of part of the Northwest Territories. Although it is correct to say that Manitoba "entered" Confederation on July 15, 1870, it did not exist as a separate colony prior to its creation. Therefore it did not "join" Confederation. The first province to "join" Confederation was British Columbia, on July 20, 1871. The second province to "join" was Prince Edward Island, on July 1, 1873 .
