With failure staring them in the face, Quebec separatists are launching a new marketing strategy, reviving the old concept of “sovereignty-association.” They want to offer their voters the best of both worlds – more independence but continued access to all the benefits of economic union with the rest of Canada.

Most Canadians are willing to make sacrifices for the future of their country – not some awkward one-and-a-half-country deal that would be doomed to fail.
