The fact that these kinds of debates happen is unbelievable. Nations are made up things. They're linguistic constructions, well-pointed out by the subtle differences in meaning between the two languages. Quebec is not a thing, and neither is the United States, or Latvia. They've all been given a linguistic label for the purposes of self-important identification and "land ownership", and serve only as a reference. Over thousands of years, society and culture have evolved as they have, with the arbitrary straight line borders we've drawn and now agree upon. Now, we have so little better to do than squabble over what lines mean what, and to which collectives we belong. It's like people who commit suicide because they're in financial ruin. Imagine, to do such a thing over something made up, that "exists" in only as long as everyone else keeps up the joke. And to what end? Organized greed and opposition, always at odds with each other because the abstractions we cling to are necessarily irresolvable.
