We will just have to accept that Quebec will do only the minimum necessary to support minority language rights as defined by the federal constitution and the charter of rights and freedoms, and that (hopefully) common sense will temper the jackbooted tendencies of the sovereigntist zealots.
Canadian federalism will likely only survive in the long term if it learns from the Swiss federal model.
