The chance of Quebec becoming independent died in 1995, ironically, Quebec would have been independent in 1995 if they let the entire country vote. If I recall, they lost some 90% of their banking (Montreal was the capital of banking in Canada, nows it's the capital of nothing) and more than 70% of their factories between 1993-1995.
They literally cannot exist on their own and would go bankrupt overnight as nobody would lend to them had they left, and this is one reason why Quebec independence is supported by a higher percent in Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and the Yukon than it is in Quebec.
Puerto Rico has had dozens of chances to go independent or become a state. Yet they keep picking to remain a territory. It is a corrupt, incompetent and dependent shithole.
America is not gonna let go of the shithole because US used the USS Maine incident as a casus belli to take the damned island as the spoils of war (they never found out if the Spanish truly killed the sailors). If the US forks over Puerto Rico to Spain, the government would be admitting that it did something evil. Effectively, that is paying back reparations to the Spanish. And Uncle Sam has too much bravado and ego to admit that he made a mistake.
However, I doubt anyone in America will even blink an eye if they were to become independent. Americans need to dump that brown mongrel colony.
