When Justin Trudeau said he would do things "differently" than Stephen Harper, did he really just mean that we would just see more equalization payments going to Quebec and Ontario ?

If US President-elect Trump does indeed decide to become increasingly protectionist, manufacturing in Quebec and Ontario will feel some real heat.

Wouldn't go so far to say that Quebec's economy is "strong" given the near $10 Billion in equalization that they will receive this year and their massive debt-to-GDP ratio (the highest of any Canadian Province or US State)

If Quebecers ever again wanted to separate, would definitely not stand in their way.
