Yet more reflection on the separatist nonsense. I believe at the time the separatists in Quebec were at it again while First Nations in Quebec were voting to separate from Quebec to stay in Canada if Quebec separated. Other districts of Quebec were also musing on staying in Canada if Quebec separated. Of course the separatists mysteriously insisted that somehow Quebec was indivisible, while Canada was not… the whole thing was getting so silly that I figured eventually we’d all separate into our own micro-nations, an idea that has also inspired numerous artists to make their own postage stamps etc … you can detect something of the miserable conditions of my corner of the basement I lived in for 16 years.
New Caledonia! Our own flag, and currency!
