It's fairly simple to see how an actual separation would proceed. Canada gets Montreal and co-sovereignty of the St. Lawrence. The aboriginal bands get the North and the leftovers for the separatists are basically Quebec City and hick-town Quebec.

Agreed mostly. I'm not sure they could really cut up the province like that. Especially if there are portions and suburbs of Montreal, Hull and Gatineau (for instance) that want to separate and others to stay. The Indian bands and the north would be a different story, since they were granted to Quebec by Canada. St. Lawrence would definitely be co-owned, which is why a measure of cordial relations would be a must.
