Quebec

When it comes to associations or unions outside of the family both at the individual and the societal level you should not trust democratic, Catholic peoples. Their individualism is radical, their egotism resembles that of the spoiled child.

They will stay in the association or union as long as it benefits them. Once they have to make a contribution, they quit. Never expect gratitude from them. If you helped them in the past, they will take that as being deservedly their own. The day you cannot support them anymore, you become an enemy in their eyes. They will hold you at ransom as long as they can in order to force you to support them.

The sign that last week came from Ireland with regard to the EU is only a first sign, but you should expect more to come from Catholic countries, including Portugal. Quebec has held the Canadian Federation at ransom for decades now. And I have never seen in my life people enjoying such a high standard of living and working so little as in Puerto Rico. American money is the answer.
