Looks like there might me two Countries north of the U.S. soon.
They have tried before and didn't succeed but they are growing very tired of the Conservative rule up there.
The Canucks in the big City of Quebec don't like the Religious Radical Righties that plague their country just like many in the U.S. don't like them here either.

Trudeau son Justin mulls possible separate Quebec
The son of one of the greatest defenders of Canadian unity, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, has stirred up a hornets' nest by speculating about backing Quebec separatism if the country moves too far right.
Trudeau's 40-year-old son, Justin, now a Liberal member of Parliament, said in an interview with the French-language service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp on Sunday that he was enormously saddened by the direction of the country under Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"I always say, if at a certain point I thought that Canada was really the Canada of Stephen Harper - that we were going against abortion, and we were going against gay marriage and we were going backwards in 10,000 different ways - maybe I would think about wanting to make Quebec a country," he said.
Even 17 years after the last Quebec referendum, the topic is still raw with emotion among Canadians who fretted about the Alaska-sized province being torn out of their country, and among the separatists who came within a whisker of winning in 1995.
Those pushing for Quebec independence are currently in some disarray but vow to press ahead with another try when the conditions are right.
Harper's Conservatives were reelected last May with a majority in the House of Commons, reducing the once-mighty Liberals to third-party status.
