Scotland Separatism

The Scots have been talking about separating from the United Kingdom, and the English are very likely going to call their bluff. If the statistics in this Globe and Mail article are accurate, Scotland is no prize and the English might be better off without Scotland.

The Scots, on the other hand, have resented being part of the U.K. essentially forever, while benefiting from it at the same time. Does this sound like the French Canadians' relationship to Canada? I think so.

It appears anglophone Canadians are enjoying their Brit cousins' sharing their separatist dilemma.
