I don't think it's possible to draw any definitive conclusions about how things would go in an independent Quebec. Right now it can be argued that the situation is made much more complicated by the presence of two competing socio-cultural integration models (including different languages for interacting with one's new society).
At the very least, this is something an independent Quebec would not have to deal with.
In all likelihood the Republic of Quebec would be no better and no worse than any other host society in the western world. With of course some of its own challenges, its successes and failures.
This latter point is something that many ROCers often miss about Quebec. Quebecers just think they are or would be no better and no worse than anybody else.
Some ROCers seem obsessed with the idea that things are always going to be significantly worse.
But what happens if it even ends up being a bit better?
