Last Tuesday, Nova Scotia Power made the controversial and widely unpopular request to raise rates by six per cent over the next two years, the seventh increase in 11 years.
The next day, its parent company, Emera, threw a party at a restaurant on the Halifax waterfront.

That 40-year threat of separation has been a boon for provincial coffers. As a “have-not” province, Quebec is entitled to equalization payments. In the past five years, according to federal Department of Finance data, Quebec’s share of the equalization pie has nearly doubled, to $8.6 billion, far and away the biggest increase of any province. This is due in large part to aggressive lobbying by the Bloc Québécois.

Jokes on you, I didn't watch it. - mr.peanut
You didn't miss much, it's a bunch of BS from someone who thinks Qc is a very rich province, that by leaving Canada, they will be much richer and will have none of the problems they have now.
Of course...there is no talk about the 8 billion in transfer payment, that's always forgotten somehow.

Québec is a very rich province, in natural ressources, if efficiently exploited, it could bring wealth to this province. Just like it did to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Ideally they would nationalize all those ressources and exploit it themselves, instead of giving the job to the corporations. It would maximize the revenues to this very province.
EDIT:
Et le résultat est net: lorsqu’on a tout compté et tout décompté, un Québec souverain économiserait 2 milliards par an. C’est le coût du fédéralisme. Et cela inclut, évidemment, la péréquation. (Autrement dit, puisque le Québec reçoit 8 milliards de péréquation, il économiserait 10 milliards par an en se retirant de la fédération.)

Quebec doesn't have the money to do this QP, they are the province with the heaviest provincial debt in the country per capita, separation means leaving with 23-24% of the federal debt, leaving 8 billion in revenue from the transfer payments. The only way to develop natural resources is via the private sector who takes the risks, manage things more efficiently and pays royalties to the government. It's like the farmer who has a huge piece of land that could be used for housing development, he can't afford to do this project without investors where he sees his return on investment drastically go down because they are taking the risks.

Read my edit.
Also, exploiting natural ressources with the increase in value they have had and they will have in the next few decades due to the high demand in those is everything but a 'risk'.
Exploiting the Baie-James was probably a bigger risk back then, and it's now one of the biggest feat of this province...
