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.
