Quebec Nation

Here's a link to a very flatering text by american Bernie Quigley.
He supports Quebec being a nation, hence a country.
He even asks what exactly is Canada minus Quebec.

"Quebec has always been here and will always be here. Quebec is like Ukraine, older than Russia, way older that communism, political nihilism, capitalism and consumerism; still there when the rave passes and it awakens again. Quebec is like Ireland, once, future and always, watching Great Britain rise to the world around it and fall again. Quebec is like the Old Dominion, acquired and tamed and mastered by the New Man of the North, as the great historian W.J. Cash put it more or less, but a spirit bound to the land like a river.

What if Cromwell had declared Ireland to be a nation but never to be free as Harper did Quebec? What if Lincoln had declared the South to be divisible and autonomous?

Quebec is and always has been a nation. The question is now, what is Canada?"

Indeed, WHAT is Canada?

Now that Quebec has been formally (not constitutionally) reckongnized as a nation within united Canada, the new question has got to be; where does the canadian nation start and where does it end. I personnally can't stand the two levels of nations, how can a nation be one and be within another at the same time. It reminds me a bit Claude Charon's nation voyageuse. This is simply illogic and so Canada. Where in the world would people vote such an absurd motion?
