And since he is considering running for the leadership of a federal party, its a pretty dumb comment to make publicly.
Last I heard, separtists were still alive and kicking in Quebec. They may not have enough votes to head further down the separtist path, but they haven't stop trying. ... and they certainly don't need any encouragement from JT. Separatist leaders in Quebec were overjoyed at his comments.

He's well regarded as a staunch federalist. I suppose you can read whatever you like into his comments, but if he were a separatist he would've just run for the BQ. Instead Dion specifically had him run against a BQ MP to take a seat away from them. That is much more telling than these comments.
It hardly matters. It's just another in a long line of Liberals you would never support anyway.
