In honour of the "1995 Quebec referendum thread," how could the separation of Quebec turn violent? Specifically, how could it develop into a situation similar to Bosnia. Yes, before anyone tells me, I know the situations are vastly worlds apart, but the question is: how could the tension escalate into a shooting war? Point of departure is the '95 Referendum. Bonus if Montreal becomes Sarajevo (Anglophones/Alophones/Federalist Quebecois vs Separatists).
Rules: no "US would say stop fighting and that's it."
no "this could never happen because Canada is too nice."
do not respond if your only intention is to accuse me of being a racist or of hating Quebec (neither of which is true, nor is it my intention in this thread).
