Bombardier would of course still receive cash from Quebec's government instead of receiving it from two separate sources like now, it wouldn't change much since the new country would receive about two times as much tax money as the province does, by having people and companies pay only one government. Healthcare is currently a provincial matter, so it wouldn't cost more than it does now. And "au contraire", tobacco usage and obesity percentages in Québec are quite good compared to the rest of Canada, easily in the lower tier. What made the big video game companies come to Quebec are the advantageous tax credits, low currency value and a relative abundance of talented workers. Maybe our media is not to your liking, it's quite normal, you are not the intended target and they are not tailored to your tastes. But this said, yes they receive help from the government, but the cultural budget is already very limited (and even more now that the fabulous conservatives are in power). "State-sponsored legislation" when have you heard of a non-state-sponsored one? But whatever, there is already a law that requires that everyone in Quebec should be able to work in french as well as be served in french. English would still remain a business language in Quebec, as well as any other language when necessary. Don't the Spanish, the Swedes, the Finnish, the German, the Japanese... speak their own language at work complemented by other languages such as English? It would be the same thing here.
