Conrad Black: Calgary Petroleum Club

Calgary Petroleum Club: Speaking at a sold-out luncheon at the Calgary Petroleum Club, Black said there is less support now for Quebec sovereignty than there was 30 years ago. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "That has changed because of demographics and, to a degree, economics," he said, adding, "I don't think there's any serious danger of Quebec seceding." CALGARY - There is no longer a threat of Quebec independence because Quebecers have become "addicted" to transfer payments from other provinces, former media baron Conrad Black said Friday. "It was the case then that you couldn't really govern in Canada, you couldn't form a government in Canada, without reasonably strong representation from Quebec," Black said.
