I have always been of the opinion that if someone/something no longer wants to be part of a supposedly equal union ( confederation in this instance), then let them go. Unhappy partners usually end up doing more harm than good the longer the dislike to be part of something goes on.
That being said......the logistics behind such an event are mind boggling and difficult to ever see coming to completion. Especially in Quebec.
Also, there are different levels of "seperatists", so it's hard to paint them ALL as arrogant, mean-spirited, ignorant etc etc.
The real groundswell of seperatist support started when the population of Quebec began feeling disenfranchised from the rest of Canada. Very much like what is happening in the West right now IMO. So I think a lot of French Canadians are "minimal seperatist" types that have seen what a BQ party has done for them in Ottawa, and as such continue to support them for that reason.
