Although the Quebecois exist and support an independent Quebec, many if not most French Canadians are quite happy to be Canadian. They play their role in Canada and are not afraid to emphasize the great benefits of unity - economic, freedom etc...
One such example is Canada's first francophone prime minister, Sir Wildred Laurier. Laurier is often considered one of the country's greatest statesmen. He is well known for his policies of conciliation, expanding Confederation, and compromise between French and English Canada. His vision for Canada was a land of individual liberty and decentralized federalism. He also argued for an English-French partnership in Canada. "I have had before me as a pillar of fire," he said, "a policy of true Canadianism, of moderation, of reconciliation." And he passionately defended individual liberty, "Canada is free and freedom is its nationality," and "Nothing will prevent me from continuing my task of preserving at all cost our civil liberty."
Others such as St Laurent, Jean Chretien and Trudeau emphasized the sensible reasoning behind unity...
We need figures like these in the Turkish speaking Cypriot community.... and I'm not talking about Eroglu!
