I agree with you 100%, "a brand new organisation started from scratch who might take the name for propaganda purpose" is what I meant by "resurgence". Perhaps I could have been clearer.

Hence the term "resurgence". Think the KKK in America.

You're listing a lot of emotional reasons, but not a whole lot of practical ones to justify France alienating Canada, and potentially the rest of the Commonwealth. If Quebec becomes independent, then France can recognize it as a country when Canada does, there is nothing to be gained by jumping...

My gut instinct is that reactions wouldn't be predictable along partisan lines. Quebec sovereignty was an issue at the periphery of American consciousness, not nearly prominent enough to be politicized. Yet. Popular opinion will probably be in favour of an independent Quebec. "Freedom" is an...

He would want to, but a head of state has checks and balances on them, not to mention teams of advisors. From a pragmatic point of view, he stood to gain nothing from prematurely recognizing Québec, and quite a bit to lose. The Canadian government would have been pissed, and the UK would...

Update 2 POLITICAL REALITIES A DAMPER FOR FRENCH-QUEBECOIS RELATIONS -The Globe and Mail, November 2nd, 1995 BY PHIL RYAN | Celebrating Québécois separatists had some rain on their parade when, late last night, the French government made an official statement that they would not...

OK, then I can't make a statement either way for Québec's status at that time. The whole point of this TL is going to be that Québec voting "yes" would have been an unmitigated clusterfuck. The feds had no plan for it, and the separatist plans for it were pipe dreams at best. Nobody was going...

What year was your honeymoon, if you don't mind me asking?

Update 1 PARIZEAU DEMANDS IMMEDIATE RECOGNITION FROM GOV'T -The Globe and Mail, October 31st, 1995 "Absurde!" Jean Pelletier[1] slapped down his morning paper. "How could this happen?" asked the Prime Minister, hunched over his desk. The rest of the PM's staff sat quietly in...

"Acceptez-vous que le Québec devienne souverain, après avoir offert formellement au Canada un nouveau partenariat économique et politique, dans le cadre du projet de loi sur l'avenir du Québec et de l'entente signée le 12 juin 1995?" ["Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign after...

I'm not talking about this happening during human history, it would be happening long before any recorded events, maybe before Homo sapiens leaves Africa at all.

Even if the incremental development doesn't go anywhere in terms of industrialization, you'll probably see a stronger economy on account of not killing literally millions of people.

Hi everybody, some of you might remember a TL I started up about a year ago, called Empire of a Hundred Millennia, in which the extinction of the mosquito in Africa causes human civilization to begin early, along the Congo river. I'm planning to tentatively start the thread up again, but I'm...

Something I may not have made clear is that ITTL Manhunt is a pretty drastically different game from OTL Manhunt, in terms of some core features, and is just all-around a better game than OTL. Not as good as GTA3, but better than OTL Manhunt, which was all sizzle and no steak. And what I...

Chapter 2 Chapter 2: A Rising Tide Gamasutra Interview with Cliff “CliffyB” Bleszinski, June 19th, 2011 As we approach the 10th anniversary of the release of Manhunt, the infamous Dreamcast title, here at Gamasutra we’re doing a series of interviews with game developers who worked on...

No. The other countries would still fight back, and eventually Germany is going to run out of soldiers.

Chapter 1 Chapter 1: The Murder Simulator The year was 2000, and Sega was floundering. Even though they had been first on the scene to the sixth generation of consoles, the Dreamcast was proving uncompetitive against the fifth-generation consoles still on the market. Sega’s last console...

No. World conquest is impossible. There are not enough Germans to conquer every country on the planet. Simple attrition dooms the effort.

No. World conquest isn't possible. Period.

Mission Statement Hello everybody, and welcome to No More Rockstars, or, Thank God it's Not Another Console Wars TL. My goal with this TL is to have minimal steering. Unlike Jesus Walks, this isn't intended to be a character-driven narrative with a human interest story behind it. This is...
