    If they did a real referendum they woukdn't be in that mess. 

    We had two real référendums here and they did no favours to the ppl of Québec either. The one I remember back in ‘95 was just as messy. Back in ‘94, when the PARTI QUÉBÉCOIS got elected (the pro séparatiste party for those here who don’t know) Montréal, Québec’s economic engine, was showing clear signs that it was stalling.. Even before they were elected, polls were placing The PQ clearly ahead of the Other party and the Canadian dollar would take a nose dive. Once the PQ was in power, Montréal went through a tough economic period. I remember walking through downtown Montréal and all the shops boutiques etc were all suddenly vacant. “À Louer” signs as far as the eye could see. Head offices were moving west to Toronto and ppl were losing jobs daily as a result. A few of years later, things did get better but the damage was already done. I’m sure things will get back to normal economically in Catalonia eventually as soon as things simmer down politically.

    The failure to replace OBAMACARE has revealed something about congress and the loyalty of individual members. If I was Donald I'd be worried rn. He couldn't even get a number of members of his own caucus to support his bill. Hopefully this trend continues.

    First major stumble that makes me wonder whether the first all-Republican government in a decade is capable of governing.
