I've never heard a compelling argument for Quebec separatism on economic grounds, probably because such grounds simply do not exist.
However, there are compelling arguments on historical, political, cultural and linguistic grounds. Whether or not those arguments trump the fact that a Sovereign Quebec would be significantly weaker economically and in terms of foreign relations is anyone's guess.
