The question of Quebec's survival as an independent country is complex and depends on various factors. Here are some points to consider:
1. **Economic Factors**: Some believe that the economic difficulties of Quebec were caused by English Canadian domination of the confederation and could only be ended by altering—or terminating—the ties with other provinces and the central government¹.
2. **Cultural and Linguistic Differences**: By the late 20th century, cultural and linguistic differences became the primary motivation for the resurgence of Quebec separatist sentiment¹.
3. **Sovereignty Movement**: The Quebec sovereignty movement aims to achieve the independence of Quebec from Canada. Sovereignists suggest that the people of Quebec make use of their right to self-determination².
4. **Pros and Cons**: If Quebec were to become its own country, it would be independent from Canada's laws and could promote its own economic, social, ecological, and cultural development²⁴.
However, it's important to note that the idea of Quebec sovereignty is based on a nationalist vision and interpretation of historical facts and sociological realities in Quebec². The actual feasibility of Quebec's survival as an independent country would depend on numerous factors, including economic stability, international relations, and internal governance among others. It's a topic of ongoing debate and speculation.
