1774 happened only to try to secure Canada, to have a northern base for the upcoming struggle with the american colonies. It also helped ease unrest in a region with a different culture and religion than the rest of the empire.
Ultimately, though, to french-canadians, it was a meaningless piece of paper. Its simple demographics that ensured Quebec survival. Its population was the most fertile of NA up to 1960, when religion - and birth levels - declined abrutely.
Today, only the fact that immigrants integrate very well into Quebec's open society - and increasingly support independentism - ensure the long term survival of the entity.
As for priviledges awarded to Quebec - yes, there are certainly periodic attempts by federal administrations to give political favors to curry favor in Quebec, but just like in 1774, the people of Quebec doesnt give a shit. We tend to increasingly see that it would be both economically and culturally wiser to stand on our own; no matter how many "favors" Canada throw our way, it cannot make up for what we give up in return.
So perhaps it would be wise to downgrade the hate rethoric a notch and just let it happen, see who's right? It wont affect your lives, say, Straha for exemple. I cant remember your background, but no matter where you live, you have nothing to lose really. Its just time for us to enjoy our full responsabilities - and rights - as a nation. I dont have anything against canadians either, but its also time they move to take care of their own internal affairs, as well. Doesnt exclude good relations and potential parternerships either, but that must occur between equal nations, like in Europe.
