Canada Day, Quebec separation events denied local funding: report

Premier François Legault said on Wednesday he has nothing against provincial funds being used to finance celebrations of Canada, he just doesn’t want them used to promote federalism.

Legault added however that the funding ban also extends to neighbourhood-level activities that promote Quebec sovereignty. Legault made his comments after Le Journal de Québec reported Wednesday that the Quebec government had decided discretionary funds allotted to MNAs to finance community events in their ridings will not be used to support Canada Day activities or events promoting Quebec separation.

But while some MNAs have used the funds in the past to support local Canada Day activities, that will no longer be the case, the report said, adding that the ban on funding also extends to events that would promote the separation of Quebec from Canada.

Fair enough.

If Quebec wants to vote to separate let them, but this time let all the rest of Canada vote weather we want them after all, they don't want us, but when you leave get your own currency and forget about transfer payments and controlling seaways. You will be on your own no more $$$
