A lot of bluster I think.
Every few years the PQ have to go through a public gut check to a) keep the separatists coals that get get them elected burning and B) keep the leverage on the rest of canada to get more money.

that's the double-edge of the seperatist movement: as long as it is effective in getting Quebec issues onto the national agenda, they'll never get the support they need to actually seperate. I think the moderates within the party (who have no intent of actually seperating) do a masterful job of manipulating the extremists within the party and within the province, to make it seem like the seperation threat is imminent.
