In some cases, a concern like equalization payments needs a deeper understanding from both sides. It's our duty to inform ourselves and get past counterproductive ping pong.

We should also realize that not all concerns can be addressed. People will need to then understand the full pro and con list. Some people will not be changing their mind while a sizeable number may just be leaning to separation. It's in the interest of Canada that you engage positively with leaners.

I say this with some experience. I lived in Quebec when the separatist movement peaked and I know many of those undecided about the referendum question were moved by the positive efforts of the ROC to have them stay. There are positive emotions and negative emotions. Confrontation is not a solution.
