Growing up in Quebec, 95 was pretty much the perfect storm, everything came together perfectly for seperation...and it still failed. The seperatists are always going to be loud, because as we see from the Tea Party in the US, the ones with the most extreme positions are the loudest, even if they represent a small minority. There will always be rural Quebec and they'll always hate English Canada, but Quebec is like most of North America, demographics are changing and people are leaving rural areas for cities. 95 was truly their best shot.
