just as one example and the one I remember the most at the time...
There was rampant speculation at the time that the seperatists had sent some of their members in to infiltrate the military in the case the vote went their way so they could immediately take control of all military possesions in the province.
the other HUGE thing at the time was Parizeau's promise to those who supported the secession that they would also retin their Canadian citizenship as well as being Quebecois...meaning that they could still vote federally. There was talk that they wanted to use the canadian dollar, still get health care payments etc etc. It was a boondoggle to say the least.

They also wanted to use shared passports, that Quebecors that worked for the federal government wouldn't lose their jobs.
they would be able to remain in treaties that were signed in Canada by default.
