Quebec's population is 8 million, not 7 million. Quebecers don't want their culture pushed on to the rest of Canada, they just want the French language prevented from going extinct in Canada. Many Aboriginal peoples are just like this so it's not something unique to Quebec.

The only real differences between Quebec and Ontario is that Ontario uses the English language and is typically right wing and Quebec uses the French language and is typically left wing. Other than that, the two provinces are not much different.

As for Quebec sucking up too much money, Quebecers barely take enough money to make a considerable dent in Canada's finances, but it's enough to make the anti-French bigots who are already prejudiced against the French to stir up their anti-French rhetoric.

Why they don't ***** about the costs to keep the Monarchy in Canada and to pay for Aboriginal reserves when they both cost the same as what Quebec gets annually (8 billion) is beyond me. But then again, what rational person would expect them to be consistent in their frugal philosophy?

1. It is not called "confederacy" in Canada. The correct term is Confederation, and it is capitalized.

2. Manitoba did not "join" Confederation. Manitoba did not exist as a separate entity before it entered Confederation. Manitoba was created out of the North-western Territories by the federal government.

In much the manner that all continental US states have borders with surrounding states and in some cases, have borders with Canada and Mexicico; Canada is no different.

Canadian provinces have provicial borders with neighboring provinces and international borders with the United states. Island provinces such as Newfoundland and Prince Edward island do not have back-to back borders; however, their borders are located in the bodies of water that surround them.

Note: Canada's three teritories (Northwest Territories; Yukon and Nunavut) as well as the provinces of Newfoundland and Prince Edward island do not border with the United States.

The province of Quebec has seven borders as follows:

1. To its West, it borders with the province of Ontario.

2. To its East, it borders with Labrador (part of Newfoundland).

3. To its South, it borders the province of New Brunswick and with the United States and in particular, the States of New York; Vermont; New Hampshire and Maine.

NOTE: PEI Provincial Government Island Information Service reports as follows:

"On the South side of the Island, the mid-point of the Northumberland Strait is shared with N.S and N.B and each of the three Provinces has jurisdiction on their side of the mid-point."
