Yes, a nation does not equal a state. Though in Britain, as I understand it, the people of Scotland can vote to secede whenever they want, and may well do in the future. As things stand, Scottish voters have unreciprocated power over English voters, in that they can help determine law and policy in England, while English voters cannot do the same for Scotland.

Quebec hasn't signed the Canadian Constitution. You call that a non-story?
1) It happened a long time ago, no one cares
2) It's Quebec, no one cares
3) It's Quebec, not signing the constitution just means you aren't as well protected as the other provinces. The Glorious Nation of Quebec must be invaded by the Empire of Canadia. The Greek Citizens will be used as slave labour in the Alberta oilsands, the French citizens will be deported to rebuild New Orleans, and the Anglophones will be deported to British Columbia to start growing marijuana for mass export. Also, we'll steal your hydro."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

As for the OP, Harper's comments do not matter. The real problem is that Quebec hasn't signed Canada's constitution. Recognizing Quebec as a nation is peanuts compared to Meech or Charlottetown, so Harper is just pissing off both Anglo nationalists and Quebec separatists with an half assed declaration.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.

As for the first bit, for Scotland to secede from the UK would require the consent of Westminister. The current Scottish Parliament only exists at London's consent since it could be dissolved just by passing a new law or repealing the Act that gave it existence. The Scottish Parliament is not a co-equal institution with Westminister like provincial parliaments are with each other in Canada or county councils are in respects to each other. The nature of the system in the UK is that the Parliament that sits in London is sovereign. As long as the UK remains whole, it can lend or devolve its powers but never give them away.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
