You're probably missing the point of all this.

I'm not seeing what we [Anglos] can put on the table any more.
Quebec is in charge of its own affairs. It sets immigration policies, it runs its own pension plan, it even has a ministry of international relations (foreign affairs). It has cultivated a diverse economic base with French-speaking Quebecois occupying every rung of power all the way up to the C-suite and commanding and controlling all of this economy out of Montreal.
You're a nation state in all but name. Just set up a central bank and a military and you're good to go.
We can't even do anything about the erosion of French in the ROC. It's not up to Ottawa to tell millions of Fortnite players to chat with each other in French or to tell INSEAD that they should run their Executive MBA in French or set up a French language medical journal of the calibre of the
New England Journal of Medicine or
The Lancet.
