Concerning Quebec Libre, I would love to establish residence there before
Cpunx, especially offshore banking "fonts of wisdom," A friend asks: the
separation (not necessarily physical residence). Have these fonts of wisdom on St. Louis and Anguilla banking anything on getting Quebec residency, mail services, and bank accounts?
Any plans if Quebec secedes? Canada has a tax treaty with the States. Quebec wants to US permission to stay within NAFTA (and the States have already stated this will not be automatic). Similarly the PQ also wants to stay within other Canadian international treaties.
I really don't see a separate Quebec becoming even a semblance of a tax haven or being a hint less friendly to US interests than it is now. We also have very high tax rates (and a bigger debt per cap) up here, Quebec's being the worst of all. I do remind you that Canada (french or english) is practically a political extension of the States.
